Gaming for a living is harder than it looks.

Streamers are multitasking on so many levels. On one hand, you’re being attacked by a group of trained assassins in your game, and on the other, you have to come up with witty banter so your viewers stay engaged on your live gaming stream. Moreover, after you are done with your live stream, you need to put together highlights and montages for those who weren’t there. So, the last thing you’re probably thinking about is what music to use for the montages, game highlights, and live streams.

If you are as awkward as f*** like me and you don't like solid in the background of your sh*t, this is the perfect thing for you. It literally is a bunch of beats and songs that won't get you DMCA'd, and it's actually good beats and songs, not that kind of royalty-free b******t.
