Hip Hop Forward

[ChrisW]

Finally got a Hip Hop track forwarded!

Thanks to the screeners for the feedback on some returned Hip Hop tracks and for those at Taxi who have posted their forwarded Hip Hop / Trap work on here recently - Michael and Matt et al - it was really helpful to study those tracks. Thank you!

CURRENT-SOUNDING RAP/HIP-HOP INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a successful Boutique Music Library with a very solid track record of TV and Film placements.

NOTE: This company pays an Upfront Fee to Composers! Because this company has just started requesting music from TAXI's members, chances are you don’t have any material in their catalog yet!

They’re looking for Mid-To-Up-Tempo Cues in the stylistic range of the references below:

WARNING: Some of the references have graphic and explicit lyrics and imagery. Listener discretion is advised.

“Pure Water” by Mustard, Migos

“Legacy” by Offset ft. Travis Scott, 21 Savage

“Drip Too Hard” by Lil Baby x Gunna

Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch.

Please submit modern, current-sounding Rap/Hip-Hop Instrumental Cues that are in the stylistic ballpark of the references. Your Instrumentals should have heavy, speaker-knocking drums, catchy melodies, and cool-sounding ear candy throughout. Build your Cue around a central melodic theme, while adding and removing layers of instruments as your piece progresses to create forward momentum and dynamics. Be sure to avoid anything that’s overly busy as it could distract from dialogue in scenes that it’s used in.

Your submissions should be about 2 minutes long (give or take) with Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings. Please 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. Also, do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This Company pays $100 per Cue for an EXCLUSIVE deal in which they get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit as many Instrumental Cues as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - Short Critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT) on Thursday, May 2nd, 2019. TAXI #Y190502RP
