j.cole x joey bada$$ Classic 90's Boombap

About this beat

Written toward the Brooklyn revival sound, boom bap that never turned into nostalgia.

Running at 90 BPM, the head-nod range most golden-era hip hop lives in. The G Minor tonality keeps the harmony dark without boxing in the melody, leaving room for both sung hooks and harder deliveries.

Built around bass guitar, percussion, beats, bass and saxophone. The mood lands between inspiring and mysterious. Shades of confident, calm, melancholy. The energy runs high from the top, so the beat carries a lot of the weight on its own. At 03:25, it is enough runtime for a standard verse-hook-verse structure without editing.
