In your contract did you state that credit must be given to you and how it must be given?
Yes I did. Non-proftable lease like any other lease really. And it was handled but you don't know what format it will be used on. I didn't assume anything. I just know that I have that particular contract signed and that now the album is on iTunes for $10. Its not a huge artist nor do I expect that a large sum of money will be made from it but I do rely heavy on principle.
Yeah, you should definitely contact him about that. Make sure in your leasing, free/non-profit, and exclusive rights you state that all credit should be given to the producer.
I'm not surprised he did that, though. I once met a talented group of rappers and singers that wanted to work with me and the moment they asked me for free beats I said I rarely do this but since you guys have real talent I'll give you a free beat if you put "(Prod. by DAH Trump)" on the title of all your recordings using my beats. I never heard from them since.
One thing some people don't understand is that when they put "(Prod. by YOUR Producer Name)" it not only gives credit to the producer but it allows the producers fans to find the artist using the producer's beat. This gives more promo to the artist, but the poor artist doesn't understand that. It's like putting "Prod. by Johnny Juliano"... Tell me that wouldn't boost your views/listens by just a little bit
Always make sure when you lease a beat send the license with the beat if you did that then you can get what u deserve.
