Music Distribution for Hip-Hop & Rap Artists

Hip-hop moves fast, and so should your release. ORB gets your rap singles, mixtapes and projects onto Audiomack, Spotify, Boomplay, Apple Music and 150+ stores — with cover-song licensing, pre-save links and payouts you can withdraw in your local currency.

Audiomack and the discovery game

Audiomack is the engine room of independent hip-hop. Its free, ad-supported streaming and trending charts break new rappers fast, and its Monetization Program (AMP) lets verified artists earn from ad revenue on their plays. For African and diaspora rap, it's often where momentum starts before Spotify catches on.

Rap also lives on freestyles, remixes and covers. If you record over another artist's beat or remake a song, you need a mechanical licence to release it legally — ORB offers cover-song mechanical licensing so you can put those tracks out on stores without takedowns.

How to drop your hip-hop project

From mixtape to live across every platform:

Create your ORB account: Sign up free — your first release is included so you can drop a single before upgrading.

Upload tracks and credits: Add your WAV files, cover art and metadata, crediting producers and featured artists on every track.

Clear covers if needed: Releasing a cover or remake? Use ORB's cover-song mechanical licensing so the track goes out cleared and stays up.

Select stores and go live: Pick Audiomack, Spotify, Boomplay and the rest, then go live in 7–15 days ready for trending charts.

What ORB brings to hip-hop releases

Cover-song licensing: Clear mechanical licences for covers and remakes so your tracks release legally and aren't taken down.

Audiomack monetization: Get onto Audiomack as a first-class store so you're eligible for trending charts and the Monetization Program.

Can I legally release a cover or a song over someone else's beat? If you're remaking a song you need a mechanical licence. ORB offers cover-song mechanical licensing so you can release covers and remakes on stores legally without risking a takedown.

Why is Audiomack important for rappers? Audiomack's free streaming and trending charts break independent hip-hop fast, and its Monetization Program pays verified artists from ad revenue. ORB delivers to it as a first-class store so you're in the mix.

How do I get paid for my rap streams? Royalties collect in your ORB wallet and you withdraw to your local bank in your own currency through Paystack or Flutterwave — no foreign account needed.
