For one thing some producers don't like having their songs covered. It is only if the producer makes available the instrumentals for the song that it can be covered, otherwise it is not allowed.

Like for example, you can't make instrumentals by removing the vocals and singing over it.

Also just be warned that using instrumentals from CDs you do not own is illegal.
