Comedy Rap Music Licensing for Film, TV, Video Games & YouTube

DJ Handcuffz is an Atlanta-based comedy rap and parody music artist offering direct sync licensing for independent filmmakers, indie game developers, YouTube content creators, podcast producers, and advertising agencies. Every track in the catalog is original production — written, recorded, and distributed via DistroKid, with full ISRC registration and PRO affiliation for transparent royalty tracking.

 

Why License Comedy Rap for Your Project?

Music supervisors and content creators increasingly seek music with a distinct comic voice. Comedy rap and parody tracks fill a specific tonal niche that generic royalty-free music libraries rarely offer — music that makes a scene funnier just by being in it. Whether you need an upbeat comedy hip-hop track for a game’s menu screen, a satirical rap cue for an indie documentary, or a novelty intro for a comedy podcast, DJ Handcuffz delivers original, licensable material built for exactly that purpose.

 

Sync Licensing for Independent Filmmakers

Indie films, short films, and student projects can license DJ Handcuffz tracks for festival runs and streaming distribution starting at $350 per track. The Film License covers all territories with festival and streaming rights included — suitable for distribution on platforms like Tubi, Amazon Prime Video, and similar indie-friendly outlets. Stems are included so your sound editor can work with individual layers.

 

Music Licensing for Indie Video Games

Indie game developers can license comedy and parody rap tracks for a flat $500 with a perpetual, non-exclusive license covering all platforms — PC, console, mobile, and web. No annual renewal. A looping-optimized version is available on request, and full stems are included so your audio team can edit for scene transitions and gameplay states.

 

YouTube & Social Media Music Licensing

Content creators on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch can license tracks through the Creator License starting at $99 per track for a 1-year non-exclusive term. The license covers channels up to 10 million subscribers and includes an instrumental version for use under commentary or voiceover.

All licenses include a signed PDF license agreement, ISRC code documentation, and 24-hour file delivery. Contact us below for custom quotes on exclusive licensing, brand campaigns, or original production requests.
