Where can you buy rap beats online?
You can license rap beats on marketplaces such as BeatStars and Airbit or directly from a producer's store. Use YouTube to discover producers, then compare the actual license offers in their official stores.

Choose a route that suits how you like to search. A marketplace lets you browse different producers; a video can introduce you to a sound; a producer store keeps you within one catalog. None of these routes guarantees exclusive rights or identical license terms.
Marketplaces: BeatStars and Airbit
A marketplace is useful when you want to compare beats from different producers. Shortlist tracks that fit your vocals, then inspect each producer's offers. Both BeatStars and Airbit let producers configure license terms, so a tier name alone does not tell you what is included.
Useful for
- Comparing different producers and styles in one place.
- Listening to several versions of the sound you are looking for.
- Comparing the actual file packages and usage limits.
Check before paying
- The full agreement for the specific beat and license.
- Included files, stream limits and other permitted uses.
- The displayed total, seller contact and support information.
Discovery: YouTube Type Beats
Search by a style, mood or instrument, then try your verse over a preview. If you find a beat you like, use the producer's official store link to check its current availability and license options.
Useful for
- Finding producers through a sound or style reference.
- Testing your flow before deciding which beat to license.
Check before releasing
- A preview or download alone does not confirm permission to release your song. Read the applicable license.
- Use the files supplied with your chosen license for recording and mixing.
Producer Stores: Buying Direct
A producer's store lets you explore their catalog and contact them about a particular track. Buying direct does not automatically make a license exclusive. Compare the listed terms just as you would on a marketplace.
At MandalazMusic

What should you check before buying a beat?
- Files: Check whether the offer includes MP3, WAV or separate track stems for mixing.
- Your release: Read the limits and conditions for audio streams, video streams, copies, performances and other planned uses.
- Credits and registrations: Check the agreement for producer credit, publishing and Content ID conditions; ask about anything unclear before buying.
- Total and records: Review the total before payment and keep your receipt, agreement and delivered files together.
