Licensing, explained simply
Every beat on Beatafrik comes with clear licensing options — compare them below to find the right fit for your project.
Designed for independent artists, beginners, demos, mixtapes, and small commercial projects — affordable access to professional beats with standard usage rights, while the producer keeps ownership and can keep licensing the beat to others.
Tagged-free MP3, up to 50,000 streams/sales, no radio, Producer credit required.
Designed for serious independent artists, record labels, content creators, and commercial releases — higher usage limits, WAV audio, broader commercial rights, and more flexibility, while the producer retains copyright ownership.
Untagged WAV + MP3, up to 100,000 streams/sales, radio play allowed, Producer credit required.
For artists who want complete control. Once purchased, the beat is removed from future sales — no one else can license it. Previous non-exclusive licenses sold before your purchase remain valid unless otherwise stated.
Full stems in .zip, unlimited use, beat removed from store, full ownership transfer.
