A culture-first alternative to generic gig platforms — now with services, playlists, and creator-to-creator hiring in one trusted ecosystem
Sydney, Australia — December 13, 2025 — BeatsToRapOn (BTR), the genre-dedicated music ecosystem built to empower hip-hop culture worldwide, today announced the launch of its new Music Marketplace — a trusted place where artists, producers, DJs, curators, designers, and music pros can buy and sell services, playlist placements, and creator skills in one platform built specifically for bass-forward, modern rap music.
The announcement lands ahead of BTR’s one-year anniversary on January 1, 2026, marking one year since BeatsToRapOn first launched on January 1, 2025 after an initial four-month build.
Built for one culture — not “everything for everyone”
BeatsToRapOn started as a simple idea: make it easy for people to upload beats and connect around the sound. But as the community grew, creators asked for more than uploads — they wanted a dedicated place to hire trusted help, level up releases, and find genre-relevant opportunities without wading through platforms filled with unrelated content.
Now, BeatsToRapOn combines:
- A Music Services Marketplace (promotion, playlists, creative services, audio services, and more)
- AI Tools designed for heavy-kicking bass music (mastering and stem splitting)
- Genre-focused event discovery (hip-hop/trap/drill/grime/afrobeats events)
- A creator network that helps artists connect, collaborate, and grow
Platform momentum (internal BTR metrics)
In the last year, BeatsToRapOn reports:
- ~10,000 artists onboarded with minimal paid advertising
- 100,000+ AI stem splits processed on-platform
- ~71,000 AI masters completed
- 4,000+ events listed and searchable for the community
Founder quote
“Culture belongs to the individual creator — armed with an authentic vision and connected to a network that amplifies, not restricts,” said Chet Fitzgerald, founder of BeatsToRapOn. “We built BeatsToRapOn so artists don’t have to fight generic platforms that don’t understand the sound. This is one place — one ecosystem — dedicated to hip-hop, rap, trap, drill, grime, and afrobeats, where creators can be heard, seen, hired, and paid.”
What the new Marketplace unlocks
The Marketplace is designed for creators who live inside the culture — not outside it. Sellers can list services across creative and music workflows, and buyers can hire with confidence inside a platform that already understands the genre and community context.
Examples include:
- Playlist curation & promotion campaigns
- Cover art, logos, brand kits, merch and visuals
- Mixing, mastering, vocal tuning, production support
- Features, hooks, songwriting, and session work
- Content and rollout support (short-form, social assets, launch planning)
