If I remember correctly, there was an article about how to get this kind of music out there and published in the last Electronic Musician. It might have been the month before that, I can't remember. Anyway, it was a fairly lengthy article that might have some good stuff if you can find it.

Dear Levi,
I hear you make beats and you wan't to have them heard. My names Smokey and im from Connecticut, US and I make underground mix tapes. Our companys name is Rap Addict. I saw your thread and I was woundering if you would like me to put some of your beats on my next mix tape. If you would like to send me some beats e-mail me at (smokey2996@aol.com). You don't need to know big people to be heard. Get back to me asap. By the way im only interested in rap/hip hop beats. Take it easy Levi.

...please do it responsibly.

One thing you could do is burn your beats to CDs and sell them as license-free drum loops for use by other musicians. This is really the only viable market for nothing but drum and bass loops, since most people who buy music for listening or dance like to have fully completed compositions.

I have heard many artists buying other beats from the people that make them. Just make em, put em on myspace with a signiture in like every 10 seconds so no1 steals them, and put up for sale. Try that out man, itll work if theyre ill.
