Ray
20DollarBeats.com is where artists, rappers, singers, and creators come to grab royalty-free beats and pro-level instrumentals. I’m Ray Johnson—the founder—and I built this site to help people like you make music that actually stands out.
I’ve been making music since I was a kid. By 10, I was already behind the drums, and I ended up being the only drummer in my high school jazz band. With guidance from some of Philly’s best, I learned how to mix skill with creativity. That same energy goes into every beat I drop here on 20DollarBeats.com.
Today, I keep pushing the sound of independent music forward. On the site, you’ll find a wide range of hip hop beats, trap beats, R&B beats, pop beats, plus custom production options you can download instantly. My goal is simple: give every creator the sound they need to level up.
- Royalty-free licensing so your music stays yours
- Affordable pricing that fits any budget
- High-quality beats ready for any project
No matter if it’s your first song or your next album, I’ve got you covered. Let’s make something great together.

More About Ray
With rhythmic finesse, Ray effortlessly delved into the intricate realm of "4's," engaging in the symphonic dialogue of drumming, synchronizing his beats with a mentor across dual drum sets, navigating the cadence with seamless proficiency. Amidst the resonance of youthful rock bands, Ray's epiphany dawned early – the nomadic allure of road gigs held no sway over his musical soul. Instead, he aspired to be the luminary of the studio, captivated by the allure of digital alchemy through recordings and sampling.
The year 2006 witnessed Ray's divergence into the realms of website design and SEO, a seemingly disparate path converging with fate. In a serendipitous fusion of passion and pursuit, he birthed 20DollarBeats – a digital sanctuary where beats breathe life into cyberspace. The gestation period was a mere seven months, a swift ascent from inception to the crescendo of a bona fide musical enterprise, defying the conventional tempo of business evolution. Ray Johnson, the architect of sonic landscapes, continues to compose his opus, a testament to the unpredictable cadence of his musical journey.
