Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We're looking for '90s-style hip-hop instrumentals that reflect street hip-hop and backpack hip-hop."
NOTE: You can submit recently recorded/produced tracks that authentically capture the era-appropriate sound and style of the references, OR if you have high-quality vintage recordings from the '90s (give or take a few years), they would love to hear those as well!
Please submit well-crafted Hip-Hop Instrumentals with a distinct '90s-inspired sound and style! This Company is looking for tracks that authentically capture the essence and energy of street Hip-Hop and/or backpack Hip-Hop specifically. Old-school motifs, gritty production, engaging beats, and solid arrangements with a good amount of forward development throughout are all needed. Instrumentation should be era-appropriate and stay in the general ballpark of the references. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and have an authentic '90s sound.
All submissions should be between 1.5 and 3 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced examples 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. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.

You’ll get 50% of any sync fees and 100% of the Writer’s share. The Publisher will get 50% of the sync fees and 100% of the Publisher’s Share.
