What is 28 Grams On The Beat?

28 Grams On The Beat is an online beat store and music production brand offering high-quality trap, melodic rap, dark hip-hop, street rap, and custom beats for independent artists. Artists can browse beats, preview instrumentals, choose a license, purchase securely, and use the beat for their next song, mixtape, album, music video, or streaming release.

What happens after I buy a beat?

After you purchase a beat, you will receive access to the beat files based on the license you selected. You may also receive a license agreement that explains your usage rights. Please make sure you enter the correct email address at checkout so your files and purchase details are delivered properly.

What license should I choose?

The license you choose depends on how you plan to use the beat. The Basic License is best for smaller releases, demos, and promotional songs. The Premium License is best for artists releasing music on major streaming platforms with higher-quality audio. The Exclusive License is best for artists who want exclusive rights and want the beat removed from the store after purchase.

What is a non-exclusive license?

A non-exclusive license means you are allowed to record and release a song using the beat, but the beat can still be sold or licensed to other artists. Basic and Premium licenses are non-exclusive. You do not own the beat outright, but you have permission to use it under the terms of your license.

What is an exclusive license?

An exclusive license gives you exclusive rights to use the beat after purchase. Once an exclusive license is sold, the beat will be removed from the store and will no longer be available for new customers to buy. Exclusive licenses are best for serious releases, albums, videos, or artists who want full control over the song they create with the beat.

Do I own the beat after I buy it?

Purchasing a license does not mean you fully own the original beat unless the agreement specifically says ownership is transferred. You are buying permission to use the beat according to the license terms. The producer still owns the original composition and production unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.

Can I upload my song to Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms?

Yes. You may upload your song to platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms as long as your release follows the terms of the license you purchased.

Can I use the beat on YouTube?

Yes. You can use the beat for a song, music video, visualizer, lyric video, or promotional content on YouTube as long as you follow your license terms. You should also include producer credit in the video description.

Can I monetize my song?

Yes, monetization is allowed based on the license you purchase. Basic licenses may have more limited commercial use, while Premium and Exclusive licenses usually allow more expanded monetization. Always review your license agreement to understand your exact limits.

Do I have to give producer credit?

Yes. Producer credit is required unless otherwise agreed in writing. Please credit the producer as:

Produced by 28 Grams On The Beat

You may also write:

Prod. by 28 Grams On The Beat

Can I resell the beat?

No. You may not resell, redistribute, lease, license, or give away the beat by itself. You may only use the beat to create a new song with your own vocals or creative additions, according to the license you purchased.

Can I upload the beat by itself?

No. You may not upload, distribute, or monetize the instrumental by itself. The beat must be used as part of a complete song or creative project with your own vocals, lyrics, or added content.

Can I claim I produced the beat?

No. You may not claim that you produced, composed, or created the beat. The beat must be properly credited to 28 Grams On The Beat.

Can I register my song with BMI, ASCAP, or another publishing company?

Yes, you may register the song you created with the beat, but you must follow the publishing terms listed in your license agreement. Do not register the instrumental itself as your own production. Producer credit and any producer publishing share must be respected according to the agreement.

Can I use Content ID with my song?

You should not register the beat or instrumental by itself with Content ID. If you want to register your finished song with Content ID, make sure your license allows it and that you are not claiming ownership of the original instrumental. For exclusive licenses, contact 28 Grams On The Beat before registering with Content ID.

Can multiple artists buy the same beat?

Yes, if the beat is available under non-exclusive licenses. This means more than one artist can license the same beat. Once someone purchases the exclusive license, the beat will be removed from the store and no new licenses will be sold.

What happens if someone buys the exclusive license after I already bought a non-exclusive license?

Your non-exclusive license remains valid. You may still use the beat according to the terms you purchased before the exclusive sale. However, after the exclusive license is sold, no new licenses will be offered for that beat.

Can I upgrade my license later?

Yes, license upgrades may be available if the beat is still available. For example, you may be able to upgrade from Basic to Premium or from Premium to Exclusive by paying the difference. If the beat has already been sold exclusively, upgrades may no longer be available.

Are refunds available?

Because beats are digital products, all sales are final once files are delivered. Refunds are not available for completed digital purchases. However, if you have a problem receiving your files or there is an issue with your download, contact support so the issue can be fixed.

What if my download link does not work?

If your download link does not work, contact 28 Grams On The Beat with your name, email address, order number, and beat title. Support will review your purchase and help resend or restore access to your files.

What file types do I receive?

The file types depend on the license you purchase. Basic licenses usually include an MP3 file. Premium licenses usually include MP3 and WAV files. Exclusive licenses may include MP3, WAV, and track stems if available.

What are track stems?

Track stems are separate audio files for different parts of the beat, such as drums, melody, bass, 808s, hi-hats, and other sounds. Stems are useful for professional mixing and mastering. Stems are usually included with Exclusive licenses or higher-tier licenses when available.

Do you make custom beats?

Yes. Custom beats are available for artists who want original production built around their sound. You can submit a custom beat request with your preferred style, mood, artist references, BPM, deadline, and budget.

How long does a custom beat take?

Turnaround time depends on the style, complexity, and current workload. Most custom beat requests will be reviewed first, and you will receive details about pricing, delivery time, and availability before work begins.

Can I request a beat similar to a certain artist?

Yes. You can request a beat inspired by a certain artist’s style, sound, mood, or energy. However, custom beats will be original productions and will not copy another artist’s exact song or instrumental.

Can I use the beat for music videos?

Yes. You can use the beat for music videos as long as your license allows it. Music video usage may be limited depending on your license tier, so review your agreement before releasing.

Can I use the beat for TikTok, Instagram, or social media?

Yes. You may use your finished song on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms as long as your use follows the license terms.

Can I use free beats commercially?

Free beats are usually for promotional or non-profit use only unless stated otherwise. To release a song commercially on streaming platforms or monetize it, you should purchase a Basic, Premium, or Exclusive License.

Can I change the beat after I buy it?

Yes. You may arrange, mix, cut, loop, or structure the beat to fit your song. However, changing the beat does not make you the owner of the original instrumental, and producer credit is still required.

Can I collaborate with another artist using the beat?

Yes. You may collaborate with other artists on your finished song as long as the song follows the license terms. The license holder remains responsible for making sure all collaborators follow the agreement.
