Takeaways

Takeaways

  • While there are many marketplaces for buying beats online (or finding them for free on YouTube), Beatsora stands apart, not just because of its emphasis on high-quality, vetted instrumentals, but its focus on affordability, education and tools aimed at vocalists

  • Dre's own journey, through the music he presented and the milestones these represented in his life, really gives meaning to his mission to help young people focus on musical expression as a means of positively influencing their mental health. In a world where resources to do so aren't always easy to come by, and social media can encourage self-destructive behaviours, Beatsora offers an alternative path for those who may otherwise miss out on greater opportunities
