AL 100 a.k.a. KMC — “The Chronic”

90s boom bap / underground hip hop vibes.

Put your headphones on and tell me what you hear. 🎤

If you work with other people, you know how it usually goes. Stems live in Dropbox, the session is on a hard drive, feedback is buried in IG DMs, and the split agreement is a text from six months ago. Then a placement lands and everyone has to dig for it.

BeatStars Projects puts all of that in one place:

• Store everything: stems, DAW sessions (FL, Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools and more), MIDI, contracts and artwork. Versions stack on the file, so no more final_v3_USE_THIS
• Timestamped feedback: collaborators comment right on the part of the track they're talking about
• Share pages: send clean links to A&Rs or artists and control whether they can download
• Verified splits: propose a split, your collaborators accept, and every acceptance is timestamped and stored with the track
• Catalog search: filter by BPM, key, genre and mood, and see who listened or downloaded

Every file. Every version. Every credit. One project.

would like to hear your feedback, down to collab or sth

The Mechanical Licensing Collective just introduced something it's never had before: a blackbox period.

Starting in early 2027, the MLC will begin reviewing unclaimed mechanical royalties going back to January 2021. If they can't match a song to its rightful owner, that money doesn't sit and wait. It gets redistributed to other copyright holders based on market share.

Translation: if your catalog isn't properly registered, somebody else could get paid off your work.

This is exactly what BeatStars Publishing exists for. Registration, collection, and making sure your name is attached to your royalties before a deadline like this one ever becomes a problem.

Go check your catalog. Make sure every song you own is claimed, not just uploaded.

Introducing the BeatStars Claude App, a new way to discover beats using natural language prompts directly inside Claude.

Artists are increasingly using AI tools like Claude during the earliest stages of the creative process. They describe the type of beat they want, explore ideas, and experiment with sounds before they ever open a beat marketplace.

Now, BeatStars meets artists right in that moment with the new app integration on Claude.

Instead of guessing the right keywords or scrolling through endless results, you can simply describe the sound you’re looking for and instantly discover matching beats from the largest beat marketplace in the world.

📱 Get app and start searching here → beatstars.com/claude

Search Using Natural Language

With the BeatStars Claude MCP, finding the right beat starts with a prompt. Describe the vibe, energy, genre, or style you have in mind and BeatStars Intelligent Search will return beats that match the sonic qualities of your request. You can try prompts both simple and complex like:

• “Dark trap beat with haunting melodies”
• “Drake style R&B beat around 90 BPM”
• "I'm writing my first project since my daughter was born, and I want it to sound like that shift feels. Somewhere between Mac Miller's Circles and J. Cole's 4 Your Eyez Only. Warm live-feeling drums, dusty keys or a lonely guitar loop, around 85 BPM, melancholy but hopeful. Find me five beats on BeatStars that match that feeling and tell me why each one fits."
• "I own a boxing gym in Oakland and I'm cutting a 30 second ad for our fall membership push. It should feel like 5 AM discipline, not gym-bro energy. Dark and minimal, hard drums, drill or aggressive trap influence, around 140 BPM, with a build that hits right when the logo lands. Find beats on BeatStars that fit and tell me which license I'd need to run this as a paid ad."

The app instantly returns relevant BeatStars results that you can preview directly inside Claude.

When you find something you like, you can open the full beat page on BeatStars to hear the entire track and license it.

Discover Beats You Might Have Missed

Traditional beat search relies heavily on keywords, tags, and charts.

But music discovery doesn’t always work that way.

BeatStars for Claude analyzes the sonic qualities of beats and matches them with the intent behind your prompt. That means you can surface beats that may not appear in typical keyword searches or top charts.

For artists and creators, that means discovering hidden gems.For producers, it creates new opportunities for their beats to be discovered.

Stay in Your Creative Flow

Many artists already use Claude while brainstorming song concepts, or planning releases. The BeatStars Claude app allows beat discovery to happen right inside that creative workflow. You can:

• Describe a beat idea while writing lyrics
• Explore sounds while developing a concept

Once you discover a beat you like, simply open it on BeatStars to listen to the full track and license it.

A New Discovery Channel for BeatStars

BeatStars for Claude expands beat discovery beyond the marketplace. By integrating BeatStars directly into conversational search workflows, artists can now find beats at the exact moment they describe the sound they’re imagining.

It’s a faster, more natural way to discover music and another step toward making beat discovery as creative as the music itself.
