Leasing Rights

"I want to rap/sing over your beat for my mix tape and I don't care if other rappers rap on it"

When an artist "leases" a beat they are granted access and limited rights to a producer's instrumental for a lower rate, for a limited time period (usually a year), and or a limited amount of sales. An artist can extend the life of their lease as well as upgrade to more premium licensing options until the beat is old exclusively. Multiple artists are also allowed to also lease and sell the same instrumental for a given time period and or until that instrumental is sold exclusively. Leases are generally for artists looking for high quality production to add to their mixtapes, EPs, freestyles, and other promotional content. Exclusives are generally suggested for artists working on albums.
