Beat/ Instrumental Lease and Exclusives

Lease And Exlcusive (Agreements)

Here at Full Range Beats we offer instrumentals/ beats for lease as well exclusive beats for sale. Sometimes people don't understand the difference between the 2. There's a light explanation on the Home Page. We wanted to be totally transparent so we've included the agreements for the lease and for the exclusive. When you buy rap beats online, or whatever kind/ genre of beat.. When you're searching out instrumentals for sale it's wise to know if you want to lease or get the beat exclusive.

What we tell people in general is, if your just doing a mixtape, not looking to make any money off of the song, then lease is probably best option. If you're working on an album or single that you want to monetize (make money from), and/ or plan to shoot a video, etc, then it's best to get the exclusive rights to the beat. This means no one from that point on can "use" the beat, as with a lease. Unlimited Lease is also a great option (read more below).

A lease is more or less borrowing the beat, while Exclusive is more or less buying/ owning the beat.

Hopefully this gives some type of explanation and helps a bit when deciding whether to lease or buy your beat. If you have more questions feel free to contact us.

Hopefully you lease your next hot instrumentals here with us. We're confident we have some of the best instrumental beats available and some of the highest quality!

Newly Added-- Unlimited Leases!

Due to popular demand we've decided to add Unlimited leasing to our beat program. Unlimited leases  gives people the best of both worlds. It basically gives you all the rights of the exclusive deal with the exception of exclusivity. This is the only downside. It means that at any point someone could come along and still lease or buy the exclusive rights to the beat. Here's a little more detail on it:

  •  You get the mp3, wav and trackout
  • Unlimited digital distribution
  • 400 paid performances with it
  • Unlimited music videos
  • Unlimited audio streams
  • Unlimited video streams
  • Unlimited radio plays
  • Broadcasting rights

Pretty much everything but complete ownership and exclusivity. It's a great situation for most scenarios when making moves with your music.  Our instrumentals for sale have great quality and great usage opportunity! Look and listen below or on our beats page to find the hot instrumental beat you've been looking for!
