It is most advisable to contact the artist if you use their music. We are not a mere catalog of self-service music. Our work is totally non-commercial and there are people behind the music, always. It is seemly to keep artists aware of the use made of their music, because they are directly involved or to start a collaboration by example. Hiphop domain will do everything possible to help establish links between artists and users, but will never take any decision regarding the use of titles beyond the provisions of the license. These decisions are left to the authors who own the securities.

When using the music from Hiphop domain in commercial projects, he should think well in the economy that is done, and keep in mind that the artist gave you.
For this reason we encourage commercial users to contact and try to find an arrangement with the sponsors to reward one way or another, this is certainly not mandatory, but it is common sense and the honesty.
