Jazz Beats
Jazz samples paired with breakbeats is a recipe as old as rap, but it’s the laid back flow from emcees like Q-Tip and R.A.P. Ferreira that keep this mix cool.
Lofi Beats to Chill and Hip Hop to
Deceptively simple and always pleasant, lo-fi beats are perfect for when you want to focus on other things or create an atmosphere you can appreciate without paying close attention. Personal favorites include Jinsang and Nujabes.
Trap Dingers, etc.
The dominant flavor of American pop in the 2010s, trap music is often characterized by acoustic samples and fast high hat work on top of thick 808 kicks. Experience authentic Atlanta trap courtesy of 2 Chainz, Future, Migos, and Young Thug.
Cloud Rap
Characterized by a sound that is somehow both atmospheric and lo-fi, this style initially became popular among amateur internet producers but has since influenced artists looking to add a psychedelic flavor to their music. Check out these melancholy beats from artists like Clams Casino and Playboi Carti.
Wavy R&B
Choice cuts of neo-soul and alternative r&b seasoned with the lush ambiance of psychedelic soul. D’Angelo, Frank Ocean, and Tyler the Creator blaze the trail.
