How to Make $10K a Month Selling Rap Beats and Lyrics

As the economy continues to tank and the music industry continues to get hit by illegal downloads on a daily basis, it has gotten harder and harder for recording artists and music producers to sell their music.

As a result of this, recording artists are getting signed but never completing projects and music producers that specialize in rap beats, r&b beats and hip hop beats are seeing their production fees cut by almost 75%.
