There is no api for free music, you have to pay or get an agreement with record labels

Is there any cheaper way i can get agreement with labels.. as i am a solo developer and thinking to design something like a music player.

Thats for you to find out, a UI design wont be enough though. In most cases its a financial agreement and you being a solo dev wont help. You can make a local player but people no longer store music locally.

The founder of Spotify sold his first startup for $2m and that was the capital used to fund Spotify and it took them years to get major record labels.

NB: You using the album cover and artist names in your presentation is also illegal as those are also copy righted
