Find a Producer

There is one universal and vital component that every rapper and singer needs in order to create a song. They need music. Unfortunately, most artists do not know how to compose and/or create music; therefore they need someone who does a producer.

It is fine to start out using instrumentals that have already been used by other artists but all artists who have every made it have done it by creating their own sound and they had a producer to help them. Snoop had Dr. Dre, Missy had Timbaland, and Janet Jackson had Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam. Who do you have?

I know what you are going to say “producers cost money.” Yes, good producers do cost money but if you have the talent something can always be worked out. Also there are plenty of unknown producers who are trying to find a talented artist just like you to feature on their music. All you need to do is find them.

Sure it’s easy to find producers online on bulletin boards or chat rooms but is much easier to build a true relationship with someone if you find a producer that lives in your city. Find someone who is excited about your talent and who will help promote you in exchange for credit on the track. A good producer will also already be working with other artists they you might be able to collaborate with you and the best producers will make you better than you already are.

So I know it’s easier to download the instrumentals from your favorite tracks and create your own songs but it’s much more rewarding to find a producer and create your own sound that you can market.
