A normal price for non-exclusive beats is usually $10 - $50 per license. A non exclusive license is usually good for about 2000 sales and unlimited shows/promotions. The music producer retains all rights to the beats and can resell the beat to other aspiring MC's. This is very attractive to the artist that does not have a budget, or a budgeted artist putting together a mixtape.
An exclusive license means that the producer retains all rights to the beat, however they can no longer sell new non-exclusive or exclusive licenses to the beat, they can only honor existing non-exclusive licenses. Exclusive licenses usually come with a higher price tag, however are definitely worth it for someone who wants a particular beat all to themselves.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Interest in Hip Hop

Step 1

Search Google for Hip Hop beats for sale. This will pop up some credible sites such as Rocbattle.com or Mybeatshop.com that allow Hip Hop producers to sell their music online. You can also purchase Club type of beats and some good R&B beats as well besides high quality rap beats at sites like these.
Step 2

Once you found a good site to search for beats for sale, listen to the beats that are posted. Get a feel for the vibe that the producer is sending out.
Step 3

When you hear a beat that catches your ear, replay it a couple times and spit a freestyle over it. This is kind of like test-driving a vehicle, you don't know how the beat will truly sound until you rap over it.
Step 4

Once you find a beat you like, proceed with the steps you need to take to purchase it such as adding the beat to your shopping cart and checking out. Get your Paypal info ready as most sites will simply let you pay through Paypal.
Step 5

After you have paid for the Hip Hop instrumental, now all you have to do is download it, take it into the studio, load it up into your favorite recording software/hardware, and lay down some vocals. Some producers make it even easier to get your next hit single finished by prerecording a hot hook over the beat.

Tips & Warnings

If a music producer is established and runs a legitimate business with a legitimate website and presentation, then you definitely want to take the time to listen. If they were willing to invest in themselves then why would you hesitate to invest as well? These types of producers take themselves seriously, and because of that, everyone else does too.
It is very difficult to tell in an era where there are over 50,000 producers selling their music on the Internet that a beat you are listening to is jacked. However the tragic fact is that there are wanna be producers out there that jack beats. Accomplished music producers sound distinct and their style is distinguished, so they have no problem telling you they made the music and will be flattered if you approach them with respect. Do not hesitate to email, personal message, or otherwise contact a music producer that you are interested in purchasing beats from. Jacking beats is not as common as when producers first started selling their beats online. Luckily, the law offers incredible protection now for music producers, especially online. And most websites that allow producers to sell their beats employ a technology that makes it virtually impossible for there to be any duplicate beats on their site.
