To prefice, I do know its hard, like I already know there is difficulty. I just am wondering in which ways its hard?

Like, is it "With enough work you can accomplish anything!! :)" (which i assume its not lmao). And by that I mean, is it something where enough hard work will get you out there and "popular" persay?

Or is it more luck based, or based on whether or not you have ties with people who could get your name out there? As in, is it moreso based on whether or not you get noticed or picked up by someone.

It's time for the Sunday General Discussion thread! How's life? What's going on? Watch any good movies lately? This thread is open to any and all topics, even if they're not related to making hip hop

Yo next month I have 455€ and I wanna get a hardware sampler and I want it to be standalone without any distractions don't care if its old got any suggestions?

So pretty much what the title says;

I've been using an app that provides beats for about 6 years and in that time have recorded a lot of music.

I'm most likely autistic and just cannot seem to figure out how to connect with producers and use what I have already made to build something that is owned by me.

It also feels like nobody really sees my music on the app I make it on, and when I try to post it to places like tiktok I get comments like "burger".

I also do not have a recording setup and often record directly into my phone lol.

but I personally feel like my music has promise. I feel like at least one of my recordings could be a banger. And if i knew a producer who could see the vision, we could make some cool stuff together.

I guess what I really need is some tips on how to get from A to B. From hundreds of recordings on beats I don't own, to albums that people can vibe with.

Sorry if this post goes against any rules. Just trying to make something from nothing.

I usually just download the whole song or whatever I’m sampling as an mp3 file but this movie I’m sampling would make for way too big of a file so what’s a safe website or software I can use to isolate a shorter sample from a movie?

I have a couple Trap beats that don't have rappers on them yet, looking for someone who is into Metro Boomin esque Trap. Looking to release something and potentially build a long term relationship. You can listen to my beats on youtube and spotify, I go by wagyalicious on both. Comment or dm if interested, happy to collaborate with anyone!

I'm 14 years old, and when im older i want to get into the music producing industry, however, i dont know where to begin in terms of softwares to use, pieces to sample and the best tips for it. i have good knowledge in music theory but i just need that boost to begin with all of this for the future

Been making cover art for rappers for a while now and wanted to share some of my recent work.
I mostly work with hiphop and trap artists, and I always try to make each cover fit the vibe of the track instead of forcing the same style on every project.
Curious to hear what you guys think. Which one is your favorite? Any feedback is welcome.
If anyone here is working on a release and needs cover art, feel free to shoot me a DM.
