But there are some other methods you can use to build your email list of rappers that are worth trying as well.
Check out “Fans also like” on SoundCloud
Searching the "fans also like" section of SoundCloud
After you’ve used the method we described above to indian whatsapp number find rappers on SoundCloud, check out the artists from the “Fans also like” section of the sidebar in the rapper’s profile. That’s another way to find similar artists.
It’s less efficient than the “prod. by” SoundCloud searches, since those artists may not be the same genre and may not purchase beats, but it’s still a good way to cast an even wider net for potential customers.
Put a beat on TikTok for Duets
One way to find rappers who like the idea of rapping over your beat is… putting out your beat and seeing which rappers rap over it.
TikTok makes that easy — you put out a video with your beat, give it the right hashtags, and see which rappers jump on it for Tiktok Duets. (It’s also probably smart to let them know where they could buy the beat if they want it.)
Ask for duets on your beat on TikTok
See the duets on your beat
Once the Duets are in, go through them and find the good ones. Then check out those rapper’s TikTok profiles. See if they’re actively releasing music — and if they are, hunt for their info to reach out to them with email.
This is a great method for really seeing your beat out there in the wild and seeing what rappers do with it — but it’s a lot less efficient for building a cold email list than the SoundCloud method.
You’ll get a lot of amateurs and random people rapping on the beat — and you won’t know how many of them might actually be interested in buying the beat and turning it into an actual track until you do a lot of outreach.
Run targeted Twitter searches
Run Twitter searches for rappers
Do a People search on Twitter for “rapper” “email”; that will bring up people who have “rapper” and “email” in their profiles. Then you can check out those artists, see if they’re a good fit for you, and reach out.
Use Facebook groups
Find rappers in Facebook groups
You can join Facebook groups of rappers (there are lots of groups that are still really active) to find up-and-coming artists. Click through on rappers’ pages, listen to their music, and if they’re a good fit you can hunt down their email addresses.
