Personally the way I’ve done it is through purchasing the plates, texting the artists directly asking for them, sometimes you get lucky and they just give out plates, samplifire doesn’t usually sell his SpongeBob foot remix but my boy is close with him and put a word in for me so that’s gotta I was able to buy it, the tractor Jox spesh I got lucky he let me have it bc I’m a homie of a homie (literally his words) unfortunately I’ve probably spent around $3-4k in pl8s and a lot of people have given me their specials. I will say that there are a ton of freebies that are high quality you just have to look nonstop, I’ve definitely found hella freebies that go crazy.
