Q1: How do I lease the right R&B beats or R&B beats to make a HIT song?
A: This is a topic that could be dissected for years. Making a dope song is not as easy as it seems when you check out the radio. There are some commonly used structures involved for both production (tracks, etc.) and songwriting (lyrics, hooks, etc). These really differ depending on the type of music you create (hip-hop vs. R&B vs. Pop). It is very useful to Google "songwriting" and check out everything you can about the craft. Invest time in yourself - this is your career!
The best place you can start right now is by listening to the radio or BET (even if you don’t like it) and studying the type of music that gets played all the time. Also check out pages such as HipHopDX, AllHipHop.com and World Star HipHop. Listen to what’s on line and pay attention to how many views each type of song gets. Listen for the types of hip-hop instrumentals all the big artists choose, how they structure their songs and how they write their tracks. Next, when you’re browsing through r&b beats to license online choose beats that you feel are similar to the most played songs you’ve researched. But be careful. It’s important not to be a copy-cat. People will notice if you sounds like a rip-off. Download beats that are similar to things you hear on the radio, but have their own twist. Remember, you want to strive to do what’ll be hot tomorrow, not what’s hot today.
Some other things to think about when you are ready to buy pop beats include the beat’s length - stay under four minutes at the absolute maximum. Make sure your pop beats get into the chorus quickly (no long drawn out intros), and make sure the beats and instrumentals you download are dynamic, and evolving (changes over time). Follow those guidelines and all the beats and instrumentals you choose for your single, album or mixtape will have hit-potential!
