When your beats aren’t selling for a long time, the thought “maybe I should just give them away for free” inevitably crosses your mind.
It feels better to have someone use your work, and it’s hard to bear the idea of your carefully crafted beats gathering dust on your hard drive, never reaching anyone. Have you ever felt that way?

To everyone out there making beats: the feelings you have right now truly matter.
