So if you have ever found yourself vibin to a beat and you like it so much that you actually end up downloading the beat and say to yourself that you’ll definitely get to this beat later. But then something comes up, and you get caught up in the waves of life. Or maybe you tried a beat out and got stuck. If this sounds like you then read on…that’s what I’m addressing in this post…

So what’s the first thing you should do once you find a beat you like?

If you’re able to download the beat, you should.

Once you download you should save the beat in an easy to find folder dedicated for beats.

Secure a time slot where you’ll be able to record and write with no interruptions.

If you’re working a job it would have to be early before you start work, or after work. This depends on if you’re a morning person or not and of course your environment, pick the best time for your situation. So when your finished with this you should have on a specific date written on your calendar From 05:00AM to 07:00 AM work on writing to “X” beat.



If you’re the type of artist that can create easily then just proceed as usual.

If you have often had writers block in the past then, before your session starts go soak up some inspiration.

Here are a few different ways to become inspired:

Nature
Art Museum
Favorite Movies
Favorite Albums/Songs
Favorite Books
Whatever it takes

The point here is to be overflowing with creativity, where it’s hard NOT to create something because you’re sOooOo inspired. Once you’ve soaked the inspiration up, then proceed to your scheduled session with the beat. Also make sure you give yourself a similar time slot every day for at least a week to dedicate to this beat.

A good way to make sure you have a successful session is to copy and paste the beat a few times in your DAW.

This should make your session about 12 to 15 minutes long. Once you laid the beat out, press record and start freestyling to this beat. It doesn’t matter what you freestyle, it can be humming, singing, raps, anything at all.
While you’re recording you should hear something that catches your ear.



If you don’t hear anything you like then try it again. Find the exceptional ideas in your recording and build the song around that. If you don’t get anything in this session, don’t worry, try for 6 more sessions. If nothing comes out after that time you can leave it alone. Move on to a different beat after a week.

One thing you should remember is the power of infinite.

There are infinite flow variations, infinite melodies, infinite verses and infinite concepts that you can use for each beat, so try not to stress over it if your first few ideas are not that great. If you follow this guide I’m sure you will have more success with the beats you download moving forward. But it will only help if you actually apply it to your life, not just from reading it.

Go schedule your time blocks for your next session and good luck! Also leave a comment, so I know your alive! Let me know what you learned, if you agree, disagree, if I sparked anything, drop it in the comments!
