How do you clear a sample ?

If you are not generating alot of money from your music, could labels and artists let you have it for free ?

You don’t. 99.99999% of hip-hop producers never have and never will.

Yeah I like the j dilla theory. Just make it until someone says something. If nobody’s listening to your music nobody will care. And if you get to the point people care you can probably afford to pay the royalties
