There might've been an annual payment, or an advance on royalties to keep them going, but it could very well be that each producer had a different deal. So I couldn't tell you for certain. All i know is that a whooooooole lot of incredible beats simple were never chosen by the artists. It's a bigger secret than OUATIS to me as to why so many amazing beats got passed on. It's worse knowing what was passed up on than not knowing by the way.
