Must a Music Artist have Exclusive Rights to a Instrumental (beat) when submitting a demo to a record label?

Question by Business Affiliated: Must a Music Artist have Exclusive Rights to a Instrumental (beat) when submitting a demo to a record label?
I’m figuring just because its a demo it shouldn’t really matter. Since a demo is just a preview of the artist (rapper’s) true talent. Then when contracts start getting signed the artist buys new beats with the labels advance money. I don’t know help me out!!
