first ever attempt at CHILL/LO-FI HIP-HOP (S210830CH)

CHILL/LO-FI HIP-HOP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a successful boutique Music Publisher and Licensing Company that places Songs in Film, TV, Commercials, and Video Games!

This Publisher is on the hunt for Down-to-Mid-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.

"Self Care" by Mac Miller
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn4mVQswfNg

"Scottie Beam" by Freddie Gibbs, The Alchemist, & Rick Ross
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYtp8X7e2V4

"Vibes" by R.Chris
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM2xD4_zeW0

Please send top-notch chill/lo-fi Hip-Hop Songs with laid-back beats, catchy hooks, solid arrangements, and an overall relaxed sound and feel. Well-performed vocals with compelling lyrical flows are a must for this pitch, as well. Your instrumentation can range, but be sure that it adds to the chilled-out vibe of your tracks and doesn't detract from it. Your production and any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high-quality and modern.

NOTE: Do NOT submit any tracks with spoken producer tags/watermarks as they're not usable for film and TV placements.

Although they didn’t ask for specific lyric themes, lyrics that avoid references to specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity could make your Songs more appealing. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

The overall deal points will be negotiated directly with the Publisher on a Song-by-Song basis. Please submit as many Songs as you like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Monday, August 30th, 2021. TAXI # S210830CH

Oh dear - I agree with Tom. Not Chill/Lo-Fi Hip Hop in the slightest

Musically it's lacking a hip hop beat - all the references have quite strong ones. Vocally it's miles off, the refs all have rappers on the them - short punchy phrasing - tough lyrics and subject matter

Long spacious dream like reverb drenched vocals about floating are totally off target for the genre.

Hopefully not and they can use the $5 for something more realistic

We have not submitted it yet, but of course we will assuming that we can totally change the lyrics, delivery, music, and general overall feeling by the day after tomorrow. ;)
