Common Questions About Rap Beats

Where can I find beats to rap on?
The internet is a vast land of beat sites but I prefer Beatstars, Soundclick and Traktrain. Each of these sites provides a variety of rap beats for sale.
How much does a rap beat cost?
On this site, all rap beats are free and include a vocal tag. The sites I mentioned above also offer free beats.
The next step up would be a lease. The typical beat lease ranges from $10 to $50 on most sites. Here on GOTB, I offer leases for $14.95. Connect with me if you need a beat.
Where can I find high quality beats?
YouTube and Instagram are a great way to network and find dope beats. Reach out through email or DM and try to connect. What’s the worst that could happen? They say no or don’t respond. Just move on to the next connect.

My Favorite Beat Software & Studio Equipment

Ableton Live – once revered as an EDM software, Ableton has quickly risen into a star in hip hop, R&B, pop and trap. The ability to automate functions and shape sound is second to none. Yes it costs but if you’re serious, it’s worth every penny. Some of the dopest rap beats for sale are created in Ableton. Get in the game and up your craft!
MPC Beats – the best FREE beat making software – period. It works with third party plugins but the jewel of MPC Beats is its sample library. Grab all of the free kits and start cooking up. “Ain’t Nuthin” is the 1st beat I did in MPC Beats.
Arcade Output – for ten bucks a month you get an enormous sample library of sounds, loops, lines, breaks and riffs that syncs seamlessly with your DAW – any key, any tempo. Updates are done on a regular basis so expect fresh sounds all day every day. Gamechanger!
Nexus – I’m a Nexus girl. Nothing against Omni but I’ve just gravitated to this synth. A bit pricey but I’m covered for sounds, instruments and drums. If you produce rap beats for sale, this is essential.
