Alex Got Beats
Blessed & Cursed
Hi, for producers who been marketing themselves and making sales. Are you as bummed as me everytime someone comes around e-mailing you wanting the exclusive rights for 1 of your beats, you guide them through your licence policy and when it comes to paying it never happens. This isn't my first time and has happened multiple times. Artists that come to me they already know how much i charge they're aware of the cost but they still expect they'll trick me and think i'll send the untagged beat before they have to pay like i can tell you're making me go through all this process just to see if that happens, once you gotta pay you run off lol. And to see some artists even being against tagged beats and only want producers to send em without tags for consideration is completely unacceptable to me and should be to every producer if you want to stay protected. I honestly can't take some artists serious. I love working with genuine people who respect the value it's all good those are the artists that got my hands down but some just waste my time majorly.
I know i'm ranting right now but my point is, music will never die and there will always be new artists who will be looking for beats. And for producers to be respected you have to value your own work and protect it. Tag your beats as much as you want for display. Don't send anything before you get paid. You can't go to a store and get whatever you want and say you'll pay next week but you're hungry right now, same with beats. I feel like some producers don't know how easy it is for an artist to steal your beat and you will never know and thats what lets them treat producers like that.
