Find another producer like you on BeatStars
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2024 9:05 am
Head over to the BeatStars marketplace. Go to the Explore Tracks section. You can use their filters to really narrow it down to producers who are similar to you. (Filter by dozens of genres, prices, moods, instruments used, BPM, and more.)
What you want to find are producers who are on your same career level, or even better, one level up from where you realistically are right now. That’s because the rappers using their beats are ones who would also definitely use your beats.
Here’s an example where I set some filters to match indian whatsapp number the type of beats I make. The first producer who jumps out in the results is LethalNeedle, so I listened to his beats and found he and I are making similar tracks.

Step 2: Search for that producer on SoundCloud
Now that you have your first producer’s name, head over to SoundCloud. In the search box, type “prod by [producer name].” Then filter the results by “Past month”; if that doesn’t bring up enough relevant results, go to “Past year.”
SoundCloud’s search results aren’t perfect, but you should mostly find tracks here crediting the producer you’re searching for.

Now listen to a few seconds of each of the first 10 track
s. If the track sounds like a beat that’s in your genre/niche, open up that rapper’s SoundCloud profile in a new tab.
You’ll keep repeating this process, 10 tracks at a time (to keep the number of tabs open manageable).
You can also use this technique to search YouTube if you want to keep going after you’re done with SoundCloud.
