Hi guys, I'm a beatmaker and my fellow producers and i have been burned by this situation before.

You have a great session, the songs are good and the energy is high, but when you try to talk about percentages you prolly might get the side eye. We all know this is not a game. Some of us have been ostracized for taking this path.

There’s a lot of money in music if things work out but there’s still no interest to do the thing that gets us insured until the songs blow up, then friends suddenly become foes.

This happens for the majority who’re still building relationships and don't wanna come across a certain way.

I wanna know how y'all deal with the awkward convo about splits. Has there been a time you brought it up and got the side eye?

Been working on a something for the past 4 months to see if the vibe issue can be fixed. Glad to share if anyone wants to check it out and gimme feedback if i got it all wrong.

Hello everyone, I’m a beat maker and i’ve been in this situation a few times. I actually got burned because of this last year and started looking into why split sheets are so difficult to do. What I found was quite relatable.

The session is vibey, the energy is high, but whoever talks about percentages and legal stuff after the session kills the moment. No one tryna take that risk. Later the song blows up and everyone starts inflating their percentages and contributions.

Yes the pros do it the professional way, sending the sheet to their collaborator or through a manager, but it’s different for the majority who’re still building relationships and don't wanna come across a certain way.

I wanna know how y’all actually handle this. Do you get splits done every time? Has there been a moment in your process where you brought it up and got the side eye?

Been working on something for the past 4 months to see if the vibe issue can be solved, happy to share if anyone's curious and lemme know if i got it all wrong.
