Artist Development and Publishing

We are looking for fresh sounding Hip-Hop artists with a classic feel. This opportunity is NOT for mumble rap, trap artists, or "SoundCloud rap".

We are looking for artists along the lines of Jay-Z, Logic, Eminem, Anderson.Paak, Chance The Rapper, Childish Gambino, Rakim, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Wu-Tang Clan, Kendrick Lamar, etc.

This pitch is for lyricists who rap about things of substance that are different from what is heard on the radio or YouTube or SoundCloud these days.

Please do not send trap or mumble rap submissions for this pitch. We will soon have another dropbox for those for another opportunity we have coming up.

We will contact you if we think your style fits what we are looking for. The payout on this is listed as $0, because compensation will be based on the type of deal that we sign with any selected artists.

Incorporated Elements is a company that works with songwriters, artists, producers, and DJ's to help them perfect their craft and fully realize the potential in their art. We work in the areas of production, publishing, film/TV licensing, artist development.

Current/Billboard top 40 type Pop songs needed for a film license. The film will release in mid to late-2019, so final decision is still a few months away. Songs can be male or female vocals. Some rap can be included, but mostly singing. Songs must be full songs and not instrumentals, and can not have explicit lyrics in them. Think along the lines of Camila Cabello, Ariana Grande, Post Malone, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Lauv, Nicki Minaj, Shawn Mendes, Bebe Rexha, Ed Sheeran. We are open to a wide variety of artist styles, but they must fit in the lane of what you would hear on Top 40 radio and see on top Pop Spotify playlists currently.

If we think your submission may fit, we will place it on hold for further review by the entire team working on this project. If it is selected, we will contact you further with details.

Please keep in mind that this is a “submission-only” dropbox. We are looking for the perfect song for this pitch. We will not be giving detailed feedback on submissions. Either we feel the song may fit the brief or it doesn’t. We apologize for not being able to give feedback beyond whether it fits or not, but the time constraints of the nature of these projects will not allow us the time to give in-depth feedback on the song. We will, however, submit ratings on every submission.
