| Sumario: | This article seeks to understand the role of digital materialities in music streaming platforms and social networks (Spotify, SoundCloud and Instagram) in the making of hip-hop beats and in the work routine of the beatmakers of Salvador as a whole. Through descriptive analysis of these platforms along with interviews with musicians, we seek to indicate some evidences that reveal the influence of the platformization phenomenon in music and in the mechanics of these artists' work. In conclusion, we affirm that the work of these beatmakers can only be understood if we take into account the transformations caused by the processes of platformization of music production. The musicians have to learn to use the material grammars of these platforms to share and sell their music. |
