OK people.  No front – I pulled directly from FutureProducers.com because if you didn’t see it there, you need to see it here.  AND if you’re not a member at Future Producers, this an example of what you’re missing out on.  Go check them out for one of the webs most active producer forums.

Whats good FP??

I was appointed by DJ Rockstar get gather the hottest beats from the producers I know to submit to mixtape projects he’s workin on.

If you don’t know DJ Rockstar and DJ Ill Will, they are one of the hottest DJs out right now. They’ve dropped exclusive mixtapes with Drake, Trey Songz, Soulja Boy, Bow Wow, Gudda Gudda, Yung Berg, Ya Boy, and more. They run the site Hotnewhiphop.com, which gets on average 350,000 unique visitors a month.

He’s working on a bunch of new mixtapes and album projects and needs beats. These songs are PROMOTIONAL only, so there is no money involved. However, this could be a good look if you are trying to boost the discography with some big name artists.

Please send beats to beats4djrockstar@gmail.com . Please name the MP3s: “Producer Name – Trackname.mp3″ That way we can keep track of who produced what. ATTACH YOUR BEATS. You can tag your beats to promote your name, but just do it once in the beginning please. Multiple tagged beats will not be sent.

I will be personally going through them in a week (3/12) and sending him a Zip of the hottest ones.

He’s looking for Rap/Rap-Pop/R&B style beats. Send your hottest. No straight pop music. Please don’t send me VST arp synthy chorded beats with 808 drums. I don’t wanna have to kill myself. I wanna hear unique bangers, interesting sounds, hard drums. For Pop/Rap give me something new.

People that know me know I’m not a beatjacker, just tryin to help out my fellow producers. If you don’t wanna send beats, then just dont.

Nefarious will post your beats on his site

Came across the kid Nefarious hustling beats on my travels around the internet and he sells beats (nice ones) but he’s also looking to share the love and post other producers beats on his site.  Far as I can tell this is just to build within the community.  You can get your beats up there and tap into people checking his site.  Nothing wrong with that.

Send beats to Nefarious

Joe Scudda calls for beats – send your heaters!

Joe Scudda, for those who don’t know, is down with 9th Wonder so don’t send no bullshit on this one.

Once again TheBeatBusiness.com has the hookup.

Send beats direct to Joe Scudda via >>>  theauthentic@gmail.com

Submit beats that you know will stand up on a pro level if you’re serious.  You really don’t want to go head up against 9th Wonder with anything but the hotness.  Believe that.

FILM/TV EXEC LOOKING FOR NEW URBAN MUSIC NOW

All right people, it doesn’t get any easier than this one.  I opened my email to find a request from a publisher looking for exactly what we do – urban music.  Specifically hip hop or rap and pop (which is more hip hop than not these days.)

Check out the included address and links below for all the information you need.  Send beats.  Submit beats.  Directly to a publisher who can place them in money making opportunities.

Here are the details as I received them from the Music Connection newsletter (which you should probably sign up for directly, especially after seeing that you’re missing out on things like this…)

TerriLynn Rosa, of 5 Alarm Music and Rescue Records, has been involved in many film/TV song placements. Today she informs Music Connection, “I am looking for urban music – mainly pop and hip-hop or rap. It should have clean lyrics and the person submitting must control the publishing (copyright) of the song and the master (sound recording).”

Rosa says to send CDs to her at this address: 5 Alarm Music | Rescue Records, 35 West Dayton St., Pasadena, CA 91105. Call 626 304 1698 or visit:

Music Publishing And Licensing 101

I’m a Taxi member and have made money on deals I got through their services.  No scams or games involved with them if you work hard at your craft and are persistent.  Now, that said, Taxi also works hard to educate their members and that’s where this post comes in.

You can sign up for the Taxi newsletter for free and get great information from industry insiders as well as get the opportunities they have listed each month.  This month, their newsletter had a very informative article that you should check out called Music Publishing and Licensing 101.  It covers topics like sampling and royalties in a straight forward and easy to understand language.

I like to say that when you know better, you do better – and you can’t beat free information.

…and no I don’t get any kickback from promoting Taxi, even though I wish I did because they’re an easy sell.
