Buy Reggae Instrumentals + HipHop Beats

The only beats we offer exclusively (that are only sold to one person) are our Custom beats we make from scratch for our clients.

All our other beats listed on our Beats Player are sold non-exclusively, meaning they can be sold to multiple people.

However, you can still get exclusive rights to any beat under the following conditions:

Licensee (that's you) qualifies for exclusive rights ownership to instrumental at no extra upfront charge if Licensee (a) gets 100,000 streams or more, collectively, through any major music streaming service including but not limited to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, or (b) sells 25,000 units or more of the master record through a major music distributor/retailer, whichever comes first. An entity qualifies as a major music distributor or streaming service if the entity publicly sells music (singles, albums, EPs, etc.) and grosses at least one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) annually. For the avoidance of doubt, YouTube views and Soundcloud plays do not count as streams or sales.

Licensee must notify Licensor (that's us) within thirty (30) days of receiving said amount of streams/sales in order to receive further documentation granting him exclusive rights. Failure to notify Licensor will result in retroactive payment to Licensor for all revenue dating back to the date 100,000 streams (or 25,000 sales), which qualifies Licensee for exclusive ownership, was achieved.

No. When a non-exclusive beat is bought, it will remain on the website and can still be bought by others.

The next question and answer will explain how the same beat can be bought by multiple people.

If two different people buy the same beat, they can still each copyright their own song they make with that beat, and sell, distribute, perform and broadcast that song, keeping all their own royalties.

When you purchase a beat from SoulFyah, the copyright for that beat alone still belongs to SoulFyah.

However, the copyright for the song that you make with that beat, your lyrics combined with that beat, belongs to you.

And with the rights granted to you by the SoulFyah license agreement, you are allowed to sell, distribute, perform and broadcast (TV, radio, Internet) that song, keeping all of the royalties.

“Trackouts” or tracked out audio files, aka “stems” are the separate audio files the make up a particular instrumental.

For instance, the kick, snare, synth, piano, and so on are all separate audio files that comprise the instrumental.

These are useful for high-end mixing projects where the engineer may need to customize the mix of the instrumental around your vocals.

We highly suggest the Premium or Deluxe license for a top-notch mix.

In all projects where any part of a SoulFyah beat is used, be sure to give credit in one of the following formats:

For YouTube/Facebook/WorldstarHipHop/Other Video Outlets: “Produced by SoulFyah Productions – https://www.soulfyah.com”

For all physical media: Anything to the likes of “Produced by SoulFyah Productions”, or “Instrumental by SoulFyah Productions” will suffice.

In situations where writing is not applicable (i.e live performances) you have to give credit to SoulFyah Productions within the first 30 seconds of the instrumental.

Once a license expires, you are required to renew your license in order to continue exploiting your song.

Once expired, it's as if you never purchased the license to begin with. Simply re-purchase the beat from our website, and your license is renewed.

It is up to you which license you choose to get for your renewal. For example, your original license could be a Basic license (which lasts 3 years), but once it expires, you can get another Basic license or a Premium license (which lasts 5 years) or a Deluxe License (which lasts 10 years). This is still a form of renewal.

If you fail to renew a license (and are still pushing your song), we will be able to find out using advanced software that searches the web & digital distribution platforms for our beats.

You don't have to worry about others buying exclusive rights to the beat you're licensing because we don't sell exclusive rights to our pre-made beats.

However, we do allow individuals that reach a certain level of commercial success to acquire exclusive rights - this is rare, however. (See "How do I purchase Exclusive Rights?")

No. All SoulFyah beats are recorded by real musicians and/or made using copyright-free or licensed sounds, so you don't have to worry about clearing any samples.

Yes, you can. Please review your earnings limit depending on which license you purchased.

All non-exclusive licenses are 100% royalty-free, and expire after some time (Basic License: 3 years, Premium License: 5 years, Deluxe License: 10 years), meaning you can keep all the money you earn but you must renew your license before it expires in order to keep selling your song.

With “Exclusive” & “Custom Beat” licenses, artists must pay 3% of net profits (from Master use) to the producer. As well, publishing will be split 25/75 (Us/You). Exclusive & Custom Beat licenses last for a lifetime, and prevent anyone else from ever licensing the same beat.

All non-exclusive purchases are sent instantly upon payment to your email address (please allow our system up to 10 min. delivery time).

So you could literally browse our beats catalog, purchase your favorite beat(s) and start recording right away.

SoulFyah Productions will retain all copyright ownership of the instrumentals. However, if you earn exclusive rights to a beat or purchase a custom beat, you will retain copyright ownership of the Sound Recording (Masters).

For non-exclusive purchases, you should file a “joint copyright” for the “song” that you make to the instrumental, listing you as a contributor to lyrics & composition (melody/flow). However, you must contact us before doing so as you will need to add the producer’s information for contribution as a composer as well. Please note that ‘non-exclusive’ licenses expire after some years. After-which, the copyright will be contractually void.

In a non-exclusive license case, even though the producer is on the copyright (which he must be since he created the music), the producer will NOT take/request any back-end royalties, with the exception of YouTube monetization (as noted in all non-exclusive agreements).

If you’re serious about your career, we highly suggest getting a custom beat made in order to remove ALL limitations.

We accept all major debit/credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover) and PayPal. You do not have to have a Paypal account to make your transactions.

The following files will come with your purchase:

Starter license: Untagged MP3 (320 kbps), PDF-License

Basic license: Untagged MP3 (320 kbps), WAV (24 bit, 44.1 kHz), PDF-License

Premium and Deluxe license: All of the above + Trackouts (24 bit, 44.1 kHz)

Yes, you can chop, loop, speed up, slow down, add extra sounds, and change up the beat as much as you want as long as you still give full production credit to SoulFyah Productions.

Yes, if you need changes made to a particular beat to fit your song/lyrics, you can contact us here.

Yes. You can download free untagged beats here or use the free download option in the beat store player if available (tagged beats).

Don't you dare!

That thought might pop up in our minds, we're all human beings. But don't let bad karma bite you in the butt. However, here are a few things you should consider before deciding to go down that road:

First, beats on the Starter license and free beats are compressed MP3 files. Thru the conversion of a high resolution PCM WAV audio file to MP3, some information of the file gets lost, which results in poorer audio quality.

To be competitive with other productions we master our MP3 files so they sound great when played online. One of the procedures in mastering is to maximize the loudness of the audio file to get the record to commercial volumes.

If you now try to mix your vocals correctly with the instrumental, the vocal tracks will have to compete with an audio track that is already pushed to the limits and lossy in quality. This is by far not an ideal situation for a great sounding, professional recording.

If you are serious about your music career, you want to produce a high quality product for your fans to purchase.

With our Basic License you'll get the high resolution WAV-file with enough headroom to be able to master your vocals with the beat together and with the Premium and Deluxe Licenses you'll get the track-outs. With track-outs you'll have full control over the sound of your song when mixing.

In short: If you sell your songs recorded on our free or Starter lease beats, you're shootin' yourself in the foot.

Licensing with us is very affordable, and if you provide a high quality product to your fans, you will most likely make more sales the end of the day.

Second, we wanna help you getting started with your music career by giving you our hard work for free.

And we trust in your integrity that once you got things going well, you will not turn against us and shoot us in the back.

We'd like to be a partner you can trust on your musical journey and we will make that first step and trust you!

And third:

We use advanced software searching the web & digital distribution platforms for our beats. Our Music is all legally copyrighted, if you wanna use it commercially you MUST obtain a valid license. For all inquiries please contact us.
