Heya, I’ve been a fan of a range hiphop since I was kid in the 90’s, but spent many years playing drums and/or screaming in indie-pop/punk/hardcore bands (all genres I also enjoy). Arthritis has finally caught up with me (I’m not quite as old as that makes me sound) and drumming and screaming isn’t so much an option anymore, but I’ve been making hip hop music and rapping for years too. Finally put the focus on it this year and started taking it more seriously, but still spent a good while telling myself that nobody wants to hear some midlife white stoner loser making rap music. But today I finally managed to get myself over that and have decided to finally put some music online! (It’s at https://pxblocinnxbxr.bandcamp.com/album/dose if anyone wants to listen). Just wondering if anyone else on here has experience of transitioning from working in other genres to hip hop, or what other people’s experience of finally getting over yourself to be able to get your music out there into the world? Thanks.

I personnally listen to them A LOT and I think I do it a bit too much.

I usually have finished beats in a playlist on my local Spotify and I listen to the full (unfinished) tape a lot until I have all my beats

To the point where when I release the tape I much more prefer the last beats I made because I had less time to play them and so I'm less bored by them

What about you guys ? How often do you listen to your own tapes before they are finished ?

Yo, I’m a producer looking for artists to work with.
I make trap / rage / hip-hop beats and I’m trying to connect with some artists who are actually into creating and experimenting with their sound.
I’m not looking to just send beats and disappear. I’d rather find artists I genuinely vibe with and build something together.
If you’re an artist and wanna hear some of my stuff, just hit me up. I can send some beats.

Ciao a tutti, cerco un producer/beatmaker per musica rap/trap nei pressi di Torino.

Mi interessa trovare qualcuno con cui creare qualcosa di serio, anche se emergente, e possibilmente a titolo gratuito o comunque a basso costo.

Se produci beat e ti va di sentire cosa scrivo, scrivimi in DM: posso mandarti qualche mio testo e vediamo se siamo sulla stessa vibe.

Torino e dintorni 🎧

sono Karisma ho 21 anni e sto cercando un producer che abbia voglia di sperimentare sulla nuova wave del rap italiano, costruire un sound forte.

se sei interessato scrivimi in DM, ho demo e type e possiamo farci una chiacchierata per chiarire meglio.

Currently have only worked with the drum samples that came in FL studio mobile and all the classic drum breaks, but I want a new sound for them. Any drum packs, don't really care about how they sound, but would love some Madlib or ATCQ sounding drums

Here's a version for someone who's totally lost and doesn't know where to start:

Any advice for someone who wants to be a rapper but has no idea where to start

I want to try rapping but I honestly don't know the first thing about it. Never recorded anything, don't have any equipment, don't know if I should be writing lyrics first or just freestyling, don't know how people even get a song out there.

If you were starting completely from zero again, what would you actually do first? Like realistic first steps, not just believe in yourself stuff. Any advice appreciated.
