I make a serious living out of selling beats and I only release 1 beat a week.
Don’t let the internet’s pressure for quantity fool you. Creativity is still

People sometimes think I’m selling beats bc I’m trying to get my foot in the door in the industry.
This ain’t the case. I do this because I love building a business. If I wanted I could live solely off my placements already.
I was one of the first music producers to start uploading rap beats to YouTube back in 2008.
Here's a thread of the most important things that I learned over the last 15 (!) years of doing this.👇
Artists: when you buy an exclusive license to a beat you NEVER purchase the publishing share with it. Asking for 100% of the composer share as a writer is kinda insulting to the producer.

some chill please, this hack is nothing anyone of you can comprehend. These hackers are hurting the music industry as a whole with moves like these so as producers we should stand together and hold up a big 🖕
Out of every 4 beats I make:
- One is ridiculously whack. 🤡
- One is so experimental that nobody but me gets it. 🌝
- One is that average joe that surprises nobody, but may exist. 🙋♂️
- One is absolutely fire. 🔥
I just dropped a 🔥 free samplepack with 100+ samples I recorded in a museum. They had the rarest music boxes, bells and barrel organs from the 1800's.

Haven’t really been talking about this because I wanted to make it happen before throwing it out there, but:
I’m moving to Berlin, Germany today to further pursue music 💪🏼🙏🏼

for having me here in Austin. It's been a crazy experience and I can honestly say I've grown as a human as well as a producer.
Time to head home. ✈️
Artist uses beat without license in 2013; I claim the video's monetization.
Song gets 2.000.000 views.
Artist contacts me in 2019 if I can transfer the money I made over the years from the video. 😂
I’m going offline for exactly a month.
Time to get some finance done, rebuild my PC, meditate and work on music without distraction. 🌻
Catch y’all next month. ✌🏼
