Three things exist here: a non-exclusive lease (every price on the beats page), exclusive rights (priced per beat, beat comes off sale), and the kit licence for drum kits and loop kits. They're different — check you're reading the right one.
Non-exclusive beat lease
This is what you get for the price listed next to a beat. You can:
- Record vocals on it and release the finished track — streaming platforms, YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, physical, wherever.
- Monetise it. Streams, YouTube ad revenue, sales — that's yours, no stream cap and no revenue share back to SNTI.
- Keep it up forever. The licence doesn't expire and doesn't need renewing.
- Perform the track live, including paid shows.
- Use it in your own promo — reels, TikToks, visuals for your track.
What the lease asks of you
- Credit it. "Prod. SNTI" in the track title or the description, wherever the platform lets you put it.
- Don't register the instrumental as yours. Don't put the beat through a PRO, Content ID or a distributor's rights system as your own composition. Register your song, not the beat.
- Don't resell or redistribute the beat itself — not as a beat, not in a pack, not on a drive, not re-leased to someone else.
- Sync needs a separate clearance. Film, TV, adverts, games, or anything where a third party is paying for the music — ask first. Usually fine, usually cheap, but it needs saying yes to.
Non-exclusive means non-exclusive
The beat stays on sale. Other artists can licence the same beat, and some will. That's the trade for the price — if you need the beat to be yours alone, buy it exclusively.
If someone later buys the beat exclusively, it comes off the store, but your licence still stands — your released track stays up, untouched. You never lose a release because someone else bought in after you.
Exclusive rights
Priced per beat, negotiated directly. What changes:
- The beat is pulled from the store — nobody new can licence it.
- You get the trackouts / stems, not just the two-track.
- Crediting still applies, and SNTI keeps a writer's share of the composition — standard for produced records, and what lets the beat be registered properly for both sides.
Ask on the beats page form with the beat name and roughly what you're planning with it.
Trackouts / stems on a lease
Available on any beat, priced on top of the lease price. Same lease terms otherwise — the stems are there so you can re-mix, drop elements, or fit the arrangement to your vocal, not so they can be pulled apart into a sample pack.
Collab beats
Some beats in the catalogue are made with another producer (credited "x" in the title). Those are licensed on the same terms, with the fee split evenly between everyone credited. A handful aren't listed for sale yet for exactly this reason — the split has to be confirmed with the collaborator first. Ask and you'll get a straight answer on whether a given one is clear.
Drum kits & loop kits
Different thing, simpler terms. When a kit is out:
- Use the sounds and loops in your own finished tracks, commercially, royalty-free. No credit required, though it's appreciated.
- No cap on how many tracks, no expiry.
- Don't redistribute the raw contents — not the samples, not the loops, not the stems, not repackaged into your own kit, not uploaded to a sample site.
- Loops are full musical phrases, so a track built on an unaltered loop may need a credit conversation if it becomes a significant release — ask, it's not a trap.
Refunds
Digital files, so once they're sent they're sent. If something is genuinely wrong — wrong file, corrupt download, not what the page said — say so and it gets fixed or refunded. No form to fill in.
Questions
DM @ayosantiwtf or use the form on the beats page. Asking first is always cheaper than assuming.
