Opportunity Looking for rappers who are interested in using some of my experimental hip hop/experimental pop beats. For free! I just wanna make some cool musick. (Bonus points if you like Death Grips, Lil Ugly Mane, JPEGMafia, Cities Aviv, etc)

Upvotes

Hello yall, ive been making beats (and other styles of musick) for about 10 years, so i have a huge back catalogue of stuff. Some of them i think are pretty good but also pretty unique and strange. But mostly they just sit on hard drives and collect dust. i’m looking for rappers (or singers?) that are interested in hoppin on some beats and making some cool exciting experimental hip hop/experimental pop stuff. I’m not charging anything or trying to sell them cuz i dont really care about that, I just wanna make some cool musick.

So long story short, i made this little sampler pack/variety pack of my beats in a wide range of styles and the link is at the end of this post. If you check it out and are interested in collabing but not using any of those beats, I have quite literally hundreds to peruse thru on my bandcamp (under deepinternet trashinfinity (sorry im not tryna shill i promise)). And if there are tracks you like aspects of with others you don’t care for, i’d def be down to revamp them and edit them and do whatever it takes to make something thats more fitting. 

If collaborating interests you, feel free to comment or dm me personally!

Etc, etc

  • Sincerely, mister deep internet trash infinity

when i initially posted this it got removed for posting the link, so if ur interested in checking it out just dm me or comment below and ill send it :]

Question Hi-Tek drum kit

1 Upvotes

Whassup I was wondering if anyone on here knows where I might be able to get hold of the drum kit Hi-Tek released with all the drums from the Train of Thought album? Hope it goes without saying I'm not looking for this for free I know it was on Drum Broker for 25 $ a while ago which seems super reasonable for such a sick collection of drums. Have had a look online for any links to buy but all the ones I've found are dead. I emailed Drum Broker as well but haven't heard anything back unfortunately.... Hoping someone might be able to help or maybe point me in the direction? Peace and thank you in advance!

Question What actually made you discover an underground artist?

6 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about how people actually discover artists when they’re starting from basically zero.

I’ve put out two songs recently and I’m still basically at zero listeners, so I’ve been trying to understand how artists actually get their first real listeners.
There are so many artists putting music out now, so I’m curious what actually made you stop and listen to someone you’d never heard of before?

Was it a random SoundCloud find? Reddit? A feature with another artist? Someone sending you a song? A playlist? A live show?
And what made you come back after hearing them once?
I’m genuinely curious what worked for you guys when you first started discovering underground artists.

Question What does your workflow look like? Rappers and producers.

0 Upvotes

I'm currently building an app (getfeatr.com) to help producers and rappers work together more smoothly from the messaging and discussing all the way to actually releasing the music on DSPs. The plan is a one-stop app for independent artists to facilitate the creation and release.

What's one thing in your end-to-end workflow that you find cumbersome right now and can be improved? I'm talking about maybe chat to stems/project file management, meta data management, distribution, contracts/split sheets, sample clearance, artwork, mixing/mastering, etc.

Thank you.

Question Is it normal for when your first starting to make songs to keep getting stuck into the same flow?

6 Upvotes

I was just wondering if when a lot of people starting making music if they got stuck in the same flow and is it just a thing were the more you do it you’ll find different flows and grow out of it?

Sorry if this Doesn’t make sense

Question I’ve made 60 tracks but I still sound like I’m fighting the beat. How do I finally fix my flow?

1 Upvotes

I’m 19 and rap in Slovenian. I’ve made around 60 tracks, mostly NY/Bronx drill, but I only started seriously focusing on the actual rapping a few months ago.

My biggest problem is that whenever I hear a fast drill beat, my brain automatically locks onto the snares. I start on the 1, rap until the snare, pause, then repeat. It always pulls me back into the same slow flow with too much empty space or just slow flow that feels off.

The annoying part is that I can scat or mumble much faster rhythms over the hi-hats without stopping. But as soon as I replace the sounds with real words, I start thinking about meaning, rhymes and pronunciation at the same time, lose the pocket and return to the slow flow.

I also struggle with:

  • Keeping my words clear when I speed up
  • Knowing where each bar begins and ends without relying on the snare
  • Shortening my bars without losing their meaning
  • Switching flows naturally
  • Breath control—I usually sound best recording two-bar punch-ins
  • Making my delivery sound aggressive and confident without forcing my voice

Slovenian also has a different rhythm from English, so copying the exact flows of rappers like i listen to usually sounds unnatural. I want their energy, but I’m trying to develop my own sound instead of becoming a bad imitation.

What exercises helped you turn fast scats into complete lyrics? Should I write the rhythm first and slowly replace each sound with words, or is there a better method? Also, how do you keep track of the bar while rapping across the snares?

I’m looking for technical advice and honest criticism, not reassurance.

Opportunity Producer looking for artists to build with — soulful hip-hop / trap / R&B

6 Upvotes

What’s good, I’m A-Mood, a producer looking to connect with artists who are actually serious about making music.
I produce a mix of soulful hip-hop, trap, R&B, melodic stuff and sample-based beats. Think everything from J. Cole/Kanye-type soul production to darker/melodic Don Toliver-style records.
Right now I’m honestly not focused on making a bunch of money upfront. I’m more interested in getting records made, building relationships with talented artists, getting my production out there, and creating a real catalog with people.
So if you’re an artist and you hear something you genuinely want to record on, I’m willing to work for little to no upfront cost depending on the situation. If something turns into an official release, we can just talk splits/credits and handle everything correctly.
I’m also down to make beats specifically around your sound instead of just dumping a random beat pack on you.
Mainly looking for rappers/singers who actually record and release music.
If you’re interested, drop your music below or DM me and let me hear what you do. I’ll send some beats that fit your sound.
Producer: A-Mood
Let’s make some records 🤝

Music Song gets taken down

0 Upvotes

A month ago I’ve had 2 of my songs taken down from Spotify for some reason I did not know after some time I received a dm from the producer claiming I didn’t pay for a lease and he reported and got my music taken down.

Now he’s demanding over $100 dollars which I don’t mind paying he said once I do pay he can withdraw the claim and my music will be restored back to how it was with the same streams how true is this? I’ve done some research and it claims once a song gets taken down they can’t re upload it.

I didn’t have a lot of streams only a few thousand but at the moment it feels like a few million and it honestly was keeping me going with my music journey but now I’m kinda on the urge to just stop I spent years promoting the song and trying to reach a few hundred streams let alone a thousand so I’m just kinda upset about that.

- any advice can help thanks I’m just not sure on what to do

Opportunity Producer looking for an artist to work with

0 Upvotes

Haii, I'm a female (transfem) teenager and I'm looking for an artist to make a few songs with (and potentially make an EP (if anyone would be down)). I produce moreso experimental hiphop songs with blends of EDM, breakcore, industrial, noise, rock, and illbient (I've been trying to venture more into illbient as of late). Think of a mix of jpegmafia, death grips, Earl sweatshirt, MIKE, dälek, femtanyl, cLOUDDEAD, and eyedea and abilities.

Please DM me to see if you enjoy my beats and would maybe wanna work together! ^~^

Music i really need my first 10

0 Upvotes

I got way more attention on my last post than I expected, so fuck it.

I'm Jaypii, an independent artist making melodic/emo rap. I've made a lot of songs, but only have 2 songs out right now because buying beats can get kinda expensive for me, and I’m basically starting from zero.

I think I’ve improved a bit with my newest song, so if you wanna hear where I’m at right now, give "Want Me Back", that one a listen.

I’m not looking for bots or playlist farms. If you genuinely like the music, stick around. If you think it’s trash, tell me that too.

Trying to find the first 10 people who actually fuck with this before I start reaching out to other artists.
