2. Exclusive License

  • Only you can use the beat after purchase.
  • Higher price, full rights, and no one else can buy it.
  • Best for artists wanting a unique sound for serious projects.

3. Free Download

  • Some beats are free for non-commercial use (demos, personal projects).
  • Commercial use requires purchasing a license.
  • Great for testing beats or showcasing producer talent.

4. Custom Beats

  • Producers make a beat tailored to your needs.
  • Most expensive option, requires direct negotiation.
  • Ideal for artists with a specific vision.

Key Points:

  • Always check each beat’s license terms and producer policies.
