The combination of its free-for', 'body' => '<p> </p> <p>Such is the case for producer Lil Xacah. The 22-year-old earns a living by selling beats online, using SoundCloud as his main marketing platform. In just three years, his work has attracted nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram, garnered over 60 million views and paved the way for placements with Lil Skies, Migos, Young Thug and Chief Keef.<br /> <br /> But his list of accomplishments are more than just happenstance. The Turkey-born producer took advantage of the "type beat" marketing strategy, titling each video with names of rappers he hopes to hear or foresees recording over his production. Some of his most popular videos fall under Young Thug Type Beats, 21 Savage Type Beats and Travis Scott Type Beats.<br /> <br /> The ploy isn't a new concept, but has seen a steady uptick in popularity amongst rappers. Joey Badass admitted to using SoundCloud as an virtual A&R to fulfill production needs for his debut mixtape 1999. For most rappers, sifting through production online is a more efficient way of making music. Gone are the days-to-weeks long processes of waiting on an A&R to book studio sessions with a producer. Instead, a rapper can hop on YouTube, find the style of beat they're looking for, purchase it, record vocals and release it onto streaming sites in less than 24 hours.<br /> <br /> The online production search cost effective for rappers, too. Lil Xacah employs a beat-leasing strategy, allowing customers to purchase a single beat for as low as $50. Though the cost is budget-friendly, the beat can be re-leased to others for the same price. He claims to lease his production to "more than a thousand people. I sell leases like everyday." Full ownership rights are available, but come with premium price.<br /> <br /> To sell his beats, Lil Xacah utilizes BeatStars, the growing e-commerce marketplace for producers. For a monthly fee, the platform offers a centralized destination for beat makers to sell their work, as well as contract templates, social media advertising services and Soundcloud monetization.<br /> <br /> "Lil Xacah is literally one of the most perfect examples of what a young music entrepreneur can do in this world," said BeatStars founder, Abe Batshon.<br /> <br /> Lil Xacah's beat-making counterparts believe the reselling game dilutes value. He begs to differ. The small music scene in his hometown of Guadeloupe - a French island located in the Caribbean - did not offer many advantages to promote and monetize his artistry. Therefore, utilizing YouTube and other online mediums was his best marketing tactic. It was a wise decision that extracted him from his bedroom and into major label offices, specifically with Def Jam's executive vice president and head of A&R Steven Victor, who now serves as his manager.<br /> <br /> "Artists now go and find Lil Xacah's beats to record on, and put online and hope to garner a fan base and hopes to the attention of an A&R or a record label," Victor said. "That $250 [an artist] spends on creating a record could help get him a million-dollar deal or get him on the road and get him touring."<br /> <br /> With Victor's major label expertise, Lil Xacah has already begun the process of expanding his brand to include a solo album and a record label with its own roster of producers.<br /> <br /> Victor adds: "This is the beginning of an empire for him.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Reference</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.turkishnews.com/tr/content/2020/09/28/famous-lil-xacah-producer-coming-to-turkey/">Turkish News</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikialpha.org/wiki/Lil_Xacah">Wikipedia</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11929799/">IMDb</a></li> </ul> ', 'msa_id' => '0', 'state_id' => '0', 'country_id' => '231', 'iframe_url' => '', 'contact_name' => 'CAA Agency', 'phone' => '', 'email' => 'contact@aa.com', 'zip_code' => '', 'translated_page' => false, 'release_date' => '2020-10-18 04:56:28', 'stock_ticker' => null, 'status' => '1', 'created' => '2020-10-18 04:58:13', 'disapprove_date' => null, 'disapproval_reason' => null, 'is_paid' => false, 'views' => '574', 'contact_phone' => '', 'pr_logo_path' => null, 'pr_logo' => null, 'tos' => true, 'seo_key_words' => 'Lil Xacah , Producer , Artists , Rapper , Cash Money Ap , Turkish Producer , Hasan Türkoglu , Type Beat ', 'ip_address' => '31.206.130.201', 'import_status' => false, 'updated' => '2022-08-16 11:22:01' ), 'Plan' => array( 'id' => '1', 'plan_category_id' => '2', 'plan_type' => 'single', 'name' => '', 'price' => '0.00', 'features' => '', 'credit_to_charge' => '0', 'words_release' => '0', 'words_release_amount' => '0.00', 'translation_amount' => '0.00', 'number_pr' => '1', 'add_word_limit' => '0', 'add_word_amount' => '0.00', 'category_limit' => '0', 'add_category_charges' => '100.00', 'msa_limit' => '0', 'add_msa_charges' => '0.00', 'state_limit' => '4120', 'add_state_charges' => '0.00', 'bulk_discount_amount' => '0.00', 'cycle_period' => 'monthly', 'cycle_number' => '0', 'setup_fee' => '0.00', 'translate_charges' => '0.00', 'status' => '1', 'updated' => '2019-05-23 12:44:02', 'created' => '2019-05-23 12:44:02', 'PlanCategory' => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Company' => array( 'id' => null, 'name' => null, 'slug' => null, 'organization_type_id' => null, 'job_title' => null, 'country_id' => null, 'state' => null, 'zip_code' => null, 'symbol' => null, 'address' => null, 'fb_link' => null, 'twitter_link' => null, 'youtube_link' => null, 'instagram' => null, 'pinterest' => null, 'contact_name' => null, 'email' => null, 'phone_number' => null, 'city' => null, 'fax_number' => null, 'web_site' => null, 'blog_url' => null, 'tumblr' => null, 'linkedin' => null, 'about_us' => null, 'description' => null, 'hear_about_us' => null, 'logo' => null, 'logo_path' => null, 'banner_image' => null, 'banner_path' => null, 'term_and_conditions' => null, 'status' => null, 'approved_by' => null, 'payment_status' => null, 'disapproval_reason' => null, 'disapproval_date' => null, 'suspended_date' => null, 'updated' => null, 'created' => null ), 'PressSeo' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 2 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 3 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 4 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 5 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 6 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 7 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'PressYoutube' => array(), 'PressImage' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'PressPoadcast' => array(), 'Category' => array( (int) 0 => array( [maximum depth reached] ), (int) 1 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ), 'Msa' => array(), 'State' => array(), 'Distribution' => array() ), 'meta_description' => 'How Selling and Leasing ‘Type Beats’ Is Making Unknown Producers Rich? hough YouTube's low royalty payments have been labeled a threat to the overall health of the music business - which should be remedied with its new streaming service YouTube Music - it still remains the most-used streaming platform in the world.

The combination of its free-for', 'body' => '<p> </p> <p>Such is the case for producer Lil Xacah. The 22-year-old earns a living by selling beats online, using SoundCloud as his main marketing platform. In just three years, his work has attracted nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram, garnered over 60 million views and paved the way for placements with Lil Skies, Migos, Young Thug and Chief Keef.<br /> <br /> But his list of accomplishments are more than just happenstance. The Turkey-born producer took advantage of the "type beat" marketing strategy, titling each video with names of rappers he hopes to hear or foresees recording over his production. Some of his most popular videos fall under Young Thug Type Beats, 21 Savage Type Beats and Travis Scott Type Beats.<br /> <br /> The ploy isn't a new concept, but has seen a steady uptick in popularity amongst rappers. Joey Badass admitted to using SoundCloud as an virtual A&R to fulfill production needs for his debut mixtape 1999. For most rappers, sifting through production online is a more efficient way of making music. Gone are the days-to-weeks long processes of waiting on an A&R to book studio sessions with a producer. Instead, a rapper can hop on YouTube, find the style of beat they're looking for, purchase it, record vocals and release it onto streaming sites in less than 24 hours.<br /> <br /> The online production search cost effective for rappers, too. Lil Xacah employs a beat-leasing strategy, allowing customers to purchase a single beat for as low as $50. Though the cost is budget-friendly, the beat can be re-leased to others for the same price. He claims to lease his production to "more than a thousand people. I sell leases like everyday." Full ownership rights are available, but come with premium price.<br /> <br /> To sell his beats, Lil Xacah utilizes BeatStars, the growing e-commerce marketplace for producers. For a monthly fee, the platform offers a centralized destination for beat makers to sell their work, as well as contract templates, social media advertising services and Soundcloud monetization.<br /> <br /> "Lil Xacah is literally one of the most perfect examples of what a young music entrepreneur can do in this world," said BeatStars founder, Abe Batshon.<br /> <br /> Lil Xacah's beat-making counterparts believe the reselling game dilutes value. He begs to differ. The small music scene in his hometown of Guadeloupe - a French island located in the Caribbean - did not offer many advantages to promote and monetize his artistry. Therefore, utilizing YouTube and other online mediums was his best marketing tactic. It was a wise decision that extracted him from his bedroom and into major label offices, specifically with Def Jam's executive vice president and head of A&R Steven Victor, who now serves as his manager.<br /> <br /> "Artists now go and find Lil Xacah's beats to record on, and put online and hope to garner a fan base and hopes to the attention of an A&R or a record label," Victor said. "That $250 [an artist] spends on creating a record could help get him a million-dollar deal or get him on the road and get him touring."<br /> <br /> With Victor's major label expertise, Lil Xacah has

Los Angeles, California October 15, 2020

Such is the case for producer Lil Xacah. The 22-year-old earns a living by selling beats online, using SoundCloud as his main marketing platform. In just three years, his work has attracted nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram, garnered over 60 million views and paved the way for placements with Lil Skies, Migos, Young Thug and Chief Keef.

But his list of accomplishments are more than just happenstance. The Turkey-born producer took advantage of the "type beat" marketing strategy, titling each video with names of rappers he hopes to hear or foresees recording over his production. Some of his most popular videos fall under Young Thug Type Beats, 21 Savage Type Beats and Travis Scott Type Beats.

The ploy isn't a new concept, but has seen a steady uptick in popularity amongst rappers. Joey Badass admitted to using SoundCloud as an virtual A&R to fulfill production needs for his debut mixtape 1999. For most rappers, sifting through production online is a more efficient way of making music. Gone are the days-to-weeks long processes of waiting on an A&R to book studio sessions with a producer. Instead, a rapper can hop on YouTube, find the style of beat they're looking for, purchase it, record vocals and release it onto streaming sites in less than 24 hours.

The online production search cost effective for rappers, too. Lil Xacah employs a beat-leasing strategy, allowing customers to purchase a single beat for as low as $50. Though the cost is budget-friendly, the beat can be re-leased to others for the same price. He claims to lease his production to "more than a thousand people. I sell leases like everyday." Full ownership rights are available, but come with premium price.

To sell his beats, Lil Xacah utilizes BeatStars, the growing e-commerce marketplace for producers. For a monthly fee, the platform offers a centralized destination for beat makers to sell their work, as well as contract templates, social media advertising services and Soundcloud monetization.

"Lil Xacah is literally one of the most perfect examples of what a young music entrepreneur can do in this world," said BeatStars founder, Abe Batshon.

Lil Xacah's beat-making counterparts believe the reselling game dilutes value. He begs to differ. The small music scene in his hometown of Guadeloupe - a French island located in the Caribbean - did not offer many advantages to promote and monetize his artistry. Therefore, utilizing YouTube and other online mediums was his best marketing tactic. It was a wise decision that extracted him from his bedroom and into major label offices, specifically with Def Jam's executive vice president and head of A&R Steven Victor, who now serves as his manager.

"Artists now go and find Lil Xacah's beats to record on, and put online and hope to garner a fan base and hopes to the attention of an A&R or a record label," Victor said. "That $250 [an artist] spends on creating a record could help get him a million-dollar deal or get him on the road and get him touring."

With Victor's major label expertise, Lil Xacah has already begun the process of expanding his brand to include a solo album and a record label with its own roster of producers.

Victor adds: "This is the beginning of an empire for him.”
