Free Tier · $0

Free Standard — $0

70 of the 96 beats on the site are tagged 'Free' and download free of charge under this license. MP3 only, lower caps, no sync rights. Great for demo cuts, mixtape work, or testing how a record lands before going wide.

How to grab one

Hit the 'Get →' button on any beat tagged Free in the catalog. We deliver the MP3 + this license document via Substack email. One signup unlocks every free beat going forward.

What you get

  • Mastered MP3 (320 kbps, voice-tag-free)
  • This license document (the contract you're reading) auto-delivered with the file
  • Substack confirmation email with the download link

Caps (Free Standard tier)

Up to 50,000 audio-stream equivalents across all DSPs combined for the licensed track. Up to 2,000 paid units (digital + physical). Up to 1 official music video. NO sync placements at this tier — upgrade to a paid Lease ($34.99) or Bundle ($79+) before licensing the song to TV, film, ads, or video games.

Producer credit

You must credit "Prod. by Sneakz & Beatz" in DSP metadata, liner notes, music-video credit rolls, and on social-media track captions. Credit is the price of the free license — drop the credit, the license voids.

Splits

Same as Lease: 50/50 publishing on the underlying composition, 100% master to you. Sync income disabled — you have to upgrade before the first placement.

Free beats are also IN the bundle

Important — every free beat on the site is also part of the Producer Bundle ($79). If you want WAV stems, higher caps, or sync rights on any free beat, the cleanest path is the bundle, not the lease. Bundle adds nothing to your $0 free download — it's a separate license that unlocks the upgraded rights.

Single Beat · $34.99

Lease — $34.99

Single-beat license for one project. MP3 + WAV master delivered instantly after Stripe checkout. Multiple artists may license the same beat.

What you get

Instant delivery (within minutes of checkout) of the mastered MP3 and WAV via your purchase-confirmation email.

  • MP3 master (full quality, voice-tag-free)
  • WAV master (24-bit, 44.1 kHz)
  • License to release on all DSPs under the caps below
  • Email support for any delivery issue

Stream + sales caps

Up to 100,000 audio-stream equivalents across all DSPs combined for the licensed track. Up to 5,000 total paid units (digital downloads + physical CDs/vinyl). Up to 1 official music video. Once a track exceeds any of these caps you must upgrade to Premium or Exclusive — your $34.99 lease price is credited toward the upgrade.

Producer credit

You must credit "Prod. by Sneakz & Beatz" in your DSP metadata, liner notes, and on-screen credits in any official music video.

Splits

S&B keeps 50% of publishing (writer + publisher) on the underlying composition. You keep 100% of the master recording. Streaming royalties paid to the artist (master share) flow to you in full; publishing royalties are split 50/50.

Non-exclusive

Other artists may also lease this beat. The beat remains in the catalog after your purchase. If you want to be the only artist who can use this beat, see the Exclusive tier.

Bundle · $47 / $79 / $399

Producer Bundle — $79

Standard Bundle ($79) covers ALL 96 beats on the site — including the 70 tagged 'Free.' Starter ($47) is 25 of your choice. Exclusive ($399) is everything in Standard plus 5 fully exclusive beats pulled from the public catalog. Higher caps, full stems, drum kit + samples, mix consult.

What you get

  • ALL 96 beats (Standard) — yes, the 70 Free ones are bundled in too
  • 25 beats of your pick (Starter)
  • Standard + 5 fully exclusive beats removed from the catalog (Exclusive)
  • MP3 + WAV + trackouts (separate stems for drums, melody, bass, etc.)
  • S&B drum kit + sample pack
  • 15-minute mix consultation Zoom (Standard tier only)
  • All future drops added to your library for 6 months (Standard tier)

Stream + sales caps

Up to 500,000 audio-stream equivalents per track. Up to 25,000 paid units per track. Up to 3 music videos per beat. Limits apply per beat, not across the whole bundle.

Producer credit

Credit "Prod. by Sneakz & Beatz" remains required across all beats in the bundle.

Splits

Same as Lease: 50/50 publishing on the underlying composition, 100% master to you. Sync placements split 50/50.

Non-exclusive

Bundle beats remain available to other artists. To buy a beat out entirely, upgrade individual tracks via the Exclusive tier.

Exclusive · $399 (5 beats)

Exclusive — $399+

Buy a beat out — it leaves the catalog and nobody else can use it. Available as part of the Exclusive Bundle (5 of your choice) or per-beat by request.

What you get

  • Everything in the Standard Bundle, plus:
  • 5 fully exclusive beats — your pick from the entire catalog
  • Each exclusive beat is removed from the public catalog after purchase
  • Lifetime updates — every beat we ever release is yours, free
  • Producer credit waived on the 5 exclusive beats
  • Direct DM / email access for custom requests + sample-flip ideas
  • DistroKid affiliate kit so you can release your projects efficiently

Stream + sales caps

No caps on the 5 exclusive beats. Stream and sell as much as you want. Standard-bundle caps still apply to the 95 non-exclusive beats included in the bundle.

Producer credit

Waived on the 5 exclusive beats. You may credit yourself as sole producer or use a co-producer credit, your call. Producer credit on the other 95 bundle beats remains required.

Splits

On the 5 exclusive beats: 100% publishing transfers to you, 100% master is yours, 100% of sync income is yours. On the other 95 bundle beats: same splits as the Standard Bundle (50/50 publishing, 100% master).

Per-beat exclusive purchases

Need exclusive rights on a specific beat without the bundle? Email licensing@sneakzandbeatz.com with the beat title — exclusive pricing is typically $250–$1,500 per beat depending on demand and is negotiated case-by-case. Once an exclusive sells, the beat is permanently removed from the public catalog.

Universal Terms (All Tiers)

1. Ownership of the underlying composition

Sneakz & Beatz LLC ("S&B") owns the underlying musical composition (melody, drums, arrangement) of every beat. A lease grants you a non-exclusive right to use the composition under the terms below; an Exclusive purchase transfers that right to you on a per-beat basis as defined in that tier.

The recording you create on top of the beat (your vocals, your additional production) is owned 100% by you, the artist. We never claim rights to your vocal performance or master recording.

2. Royalty splits

Lease and Premium tiers: S&B retains 50% of the underlying-composition publishing royalties (writer share + publisher share combined). You keep 100% of the master recording royalties (streaming income paid to the artist, sync income paid for placement of your master).

Exclusive tier: 100% of publishing transfers to you on a per-beat basis once the exclusive purchase clears, with the credit waiver described in that tier.

3. Producer credit (Lease + Premium)

You agree to credit the producer as "Prod. by Sneakz & Beatz" in DSP metadata (Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, YouTube Music), physical-release liner notes, and any visual credit roll on official music videos. This credit is waived for Exclusive purchases on a per-beat basis.

4. Stream + sales caps (Lease only)

The Lease tier allows up to 100,000 audio-stream equivalents across all DSPs and up to 5,000 paid digital or physical units for the licensed track. Once a track exceeds either cap, you must upgrade to a Premium / Bundle license (which extends the cap to 500,000 streams) or an Exclusive (uncapped). Upgrade credits your Lease price toward the new tier.

5. Allowed uses (all tiers)

  • Streaming on commercial DSPs (subject to caps where applicable)
  • Music videos on YouTube, TikTok, Reels, Shorts, etc.
  • Live performances, including non-profit and ticketed
  • Terrestrial radio + internet radio
  • Sync placements you arrange yourself in TV, film, advertising, or games (Lease + Premium tiers split sync 50/50; Exclusive keeps 100%)

6. Prohibited uses (all tiers)

  • You may not resell, redistribute, or relicense the bare beat (with no vocal performance) to any third party.
  • You may not register the beat with any rights-management organization (BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, PRS, SOCAN, etc.) under your name without listing S&B as co-publisher in the tiers that retain publishing.
  • You may not use the beat in content that promotes hate speech, terrorism, or sexualized content involving minors. We reserve the right to revoke any license used for such content with no refund.
  • You may not claim the beat as a fully original composition you wrote alone — the producer credit and split must remain accurate to the tier you bought.

7. Delivery + ownership of files

On successful payment via Stripe, you'll receive an immediate download link via email containing the file types appropriate to your tier (MP3 for Starter; MP3, WAV, and trackouts for Premium and Exclusive). Files are licensed, not sold; redistribution of the raw audio files outside your own master recording is prohibited under section 6.

8. Refunds + 30-day satisfaction guarantee

Beat leases and bundles include a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Email licensing@sneakzandbeatz.com within 30 days of purchase for a full refund of the bundle or lease, no questions asked. By accepting the refund you forfeit any license rights granted under the purchase and agree to delete the delivered files and any derivative works that have been published. Exclusive purchases are refundable only if the beat has not yet been registered to you with a rights organization.

9. Termination

S&B may terminate any Lease or Premium license that is in material breach of these terms (e.g., redistribution of bare beats, exceeding stream caps without upgrade, prohibited uses) by written notice via email. Termination requires the licensee to remove the offending content from public distribution within 30 days. Exclusive purchases are not terminable except by mutual written agreement.

10. Governing law + dispute resolution

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, USA. Any dispute that cannot be resolved by good-faith email correspondence within 30 days will be settled by binding arbitration in San Diego County, California, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each party bears its own legal fees unless the arbitrator awards otherwise.

11. Acceptance

Completing checkout for any Lease, Premium / Bundle, or Exclusive product constitutes acceptance of the terms above as well as the tier-specific terms earlier on this page. The version of these terms in effect at the time of your purchase governs that purchase; later edits to this page do not retroactively modify previously-issued licenses.
