Where can i get good rights free music?

Only partly in jest:

Compose and perform your own.

Heck, we do every other job in the film industry. Why not this too? Why should anything you create be any worse than the expensive cr*p which many others produce?

Two tips:
(1) Learn how to work a sequencer if you don't play guitar or keyboard
(2) explore ostinato and sequence (types of repeated patterns).

I spend more years than I care to remember getting reluctant students through composition exams.
You can do it.

Best leave the full orchestral stuff for a bit though.

Even easier: Get Sony's ACID program and slap loops onto a timeline. My kids could use ACID before they were ten years old.

Actually free music, in so far that it costs nothing to use and only requires a credit, seems to be available here:

I thought it needs a waiver from the author if it is for commercial use.
