The Making Of NLE Choppa's "Shotta Flow" With Midas800 | Deconstructed
Музыка
Memphis rapper NLE Choppa broke out in a major way with “Shotta Flow,” which peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. The rowdy Midas800-produced track has spawned a Blueface-assisted remix and two sequels to date. Genius recently sat down with the Philadelphia producer to break down how the song was made.

scooby doo but if its a “Free” type beat doesnt it mean he doesnt have to clear it regardless if it goes viral or not? Because once you put something out and name it a free beat im not sure it entitles you to any royalties. If you know more about the subject would you care to elaborate? Thanks man

@@claudiofunes1380 Sure man. & No. Basically a "free-non profit" type beat is a term producers use to get views on their beats and land placements with rappers. But if you get it on these beats and lets say your song gets popular, the producer still owns the rights to the beat 100%, you cant say in a court of law that the beat said in the description "free for non profit" or "free for profit". The only way you're safe with a beat is if you buy it from these stores like Beatstars because you get a contract that says you own 50% of the song (the producer also owns 50% of the song all the time) When it comes to songs that actually become hits, its even more complicated, the rapper can never go without paying because in order to put it on digital platforms like spotify and promote it, the label needs to clear the beat or else they will get sued by the producer and trust me, they rather pay then get sued and that cost them much more money.

One thing you could do is hum a melody then harmonize it. If you'd like to know how to harmonize one way look up signals studio diatonic. Some other good channels to watch to up you're production game is Mangold Project, Rick beato, Hack Music theory and Alex Moukala although alex is for ochestra. Good searches are hack music theory bass, rick beato basics of music music theory, mangold project chords, and signals studio chords. Happy music making 😃
