Is leasing Beats still a thing in the industry?

Hi everyone,

I wonder - is Beat leasing still a thing in the (Hip-hop?-) industry?
It was really hot in the 10s.
Is it still a big piece of the pie of Beat distribution?

I did my research now.
Beatstars seems to be the shit now.
Is this the number one source of Beats now?
Back in 2014, 2015 soundclick was the leading Site.

Yes there's rappers that still don't have a job. Free beats are still a thing too.
