What is BeatStore?
BeatStore is an online music marketplace focused on selling instrumental beats for use in songs, especially in the hip hop, R&B, and pop genres. At its core, BeatStore allows music producers to upload and sell their beats to vocalists looking for instrumental tracks.
On the BeatStore platform, producers, often called 'beatmakers,' can create a profile showcasing their production catalog. They can upload high-quality WAV or MP3 files for each of their beats and include details like BPM, key signature, instruments used, and suggested genres. The beats can then be browsed by vocalists - usually rappers, singers and songwriters - who are hunting for instrumental tracks to write and record songs over.
Buying beats on BeatStore provides a simple process for taking care of licensing, payments, and delivery. Vocalists can purchase non-exclusive or exclusive rights to beats for a set price, often ranging from $20 to $500+ per beat. With an extensive catalog spanning hip hop, trap, R&B, pop and more, BeatStore aims to connect skilled beatmakers with vocalists to foster new creative music collaborations and song releases.
