Hi I'm new to the whole broadcasting thing, I've been considering
doing it for a little fun.. nothing too serious, but are there laws regarding
what you can broadcast? Like I'm thinking Hip hop and rnb songs - T-pain etc.. what are the laws to do with this? would I have to pay royalties to every single song I use? how much are royalties?

That depends on what country you broadcast from. Different countries have different regulations.

There is usually a royalty payment due each time a ASCAP or similar copyrighted artist is played.
