I'd give you a direct answer, but I can't for two reasons:
1. You're not serious.
2. This forum doesn't like truthful answers or useful information.
1. You're not serious.
Having a single track is meaningless to both your pitch and your career. ANYONE can catch lightning in a botttle and make a track 'that could work' for a particular artist or it sounds almost like an album cut from one of their albums.
You would need 6-15 tracks that would be hot for him and let him pick from among your collection. All singles and NOT ALBUM FILLERS.
Even if you sold/placed one track it would do nothing for your career. You'd have a surge of e-props for a month while everyone rides you, but that would be it. You'd have to figure out (the hardest part) how to parlay that ONE PLACEMENT into MANY PLACEMENTS and thus some kind of budding career.
You asked on a generic music forum. Just throwing it out there to see what cats say.
Just about every siggestion requires abit of work (some too much work) on your end, but you're looking for the easy way in.
Sure, almost every suggestion *Could work* in way, but I doubt you're grinding enough to get off your butt and go to one of his shows and ask a dude in his entourage for contact info and make your own moves. Or even call one of the eight million places he's been featured and asking for his current businesss contact info. Google Busta and you'll have all these organizations that have had him featured recently. They would know his info and could get it for you IF they thought it was important enough. Truth is for some random cat 'with a single beat for busta' you're really not important enough. Better off hitting his myspace and crossing your fingers.
You're not serious enough to look into the artist or know his current situation.
What label is he on?
WHEN is he working on a project and in need of tracks?
Where did he get his current beats from and how?
Where does he be at? (mostly the studio) Which one? and you could easily go there 'When he's in artist mode' and make your pitch. Again all of this groundwork is part of the grind and it's usually too much for most idle dreamers.
2. This forum doesn't like truthful answers or useful information.
I could tell you about three different media outlets (including the one I work for) that have featured or done business with his team. There is an exact and current number sitting in my rolodex. I like most, wouldn't give it to a guy in a thread.
I could also tell you about producer resources that have track dumps. That is when the artist is looking for music they put a call out to the producers with track descriptions and sometimes even suggest BPMs. You submit through them directly to the A&R or artist.
There are events where the artist and team make themselves available to be pitched to.
There's a lot of ways in here, but again it boils down to how serious and dilligent you intend to be about it.
I've tried to be that "Guy that knows a bit who wants to help" but my posts always get deleted or moved to some obscure part of the forum. Maybe they'll let this one slide.
I'd even give you something specific to google, but oh no that might lead you off site and we can't have that. The point is people with forums forget that they don't always have to BE THE SOURCE OF THE INFORMATION. It can be just as cool to be the place where the source of information was discovered.
you sound farliy cocky. who have you produced for? not hating just wondering because somebody as confident as you must have made some large placements
