A Coi Leray type beat is pop rap that bounces. A short, bright melody loops over a sliding 808 and drums that hit on the offbeat, and the whole thing stays simple enough to sing over. Think Players and Messy, catchy and light, not dark and busy. The one real rule is restraint, the melody is three or four notes and the groove does the rest, so you resist the urge to fill every bar.
You do not need a finished beat to start. The Coi Leray loops sit in step 1 and again at the bottom, ready to play.
Pick between two feels. The melodic bounce like Players and Messy sits around 95 to 105 BPM. The faster lane sits around 150 to 160 BPM but still feels like a bounce because the snare and clap land half time on the offbeat. If you are unsure, start at 100.
The key is minor and simple. Her records sit in keys like C minor, G minor and F sharp minor, with a short looping phrase instead of a chord progression. Three or four notes is enough, the hook needs the room.
The lead is bright and repetitive. A pluck or a bell synth playing one short phrase, looped for the whole beat, is the Coi Leray signature. Write it in minor, keep it to three or four notes and let it bounce rather than wander.
The other route is a sample flip. Players flips a recognisable disco hook, so a chopped pop or disco loop works just as well as a played melody. The loops on this page give you a ready phrase, drop one in and shape the drums around it.
The bounce lives in the drums. Put the clap or the snare on the offbeat, not straight on the two and the four, and let the kick answer it. A sliding 808 that moves between two or three notes keeps the low end playful instead of heavy.
Hats carry the speed. Fast sixteenth hats with a few rolls and the odd open hat push the energy, but keep them quiet under the melody. The groove should feel like it is skipping.
Coi Leray beats are vocal first. Strip the arrangement so a singer can sit on top, one melody, one 808 pattern and clean drums. Empty space in the beat is where the hook goes.
If a part is not helping the bounce, cut it. A busy beat buries a catchy vocal, and the catchy vocal is the point.
Keep the sections short and repetitive. An intro with just the melody, drums and 808 in on the verse, a small lift into the hook with an extra layer or an open hat pattern. Mute the melody for two bars before the hook to make it land harder.
Write in eight bar blocks and change one small thing each block so the loop never feels stuck.
Keep the top end bright. The pluck and the hats should be crisp and a little airy, so a high shelf and light saturation help. Sidechain the 808 to the kick so the low end stays punchy and clear under the bounce.
Glue it loud with a clipper on the master and reference a Coi Leray track at the same volume. Match how bright and bouncy it feels, not just how loud it is.
The common mistakes are easy to fix. Putting the clap straight on the beat so it marches instead of bounces. Writing a melody that is too long or too complex to sing over. Making the 808 too heavy for a light, poppy beat. Filling every bar instead of leaving room for the hook. And forgetting to tune the 808 to the melody. Clean those up and the beat bounces like the reference.
Pick a loop and drag it into your DAW. 808 under it, clap on top, your first Coi Leray beat is running.

Two common spots. A melodic bounce around 95 to 105 BPM like Players and Messy, or a faster half time feel around 150 to 160 that still bounces because the drums land on the offbeat. Start at 100 if you are unsure.
Minor and simple, often C minor, G minor or F sharp minor. The melody is a short looping phrase of three or four notes rather than a full progression.
The offbeat. Put the clap or snare on the offbeat instead of straight on the two and the four, use a sliding 808 and fast hats, and keep the melody short. The groove skips rather than marches.
No. A bright pluck or bell, a sliding 808 and clean drums do it, and stock plugins are enough. The sound is in the groove and the restraint, not the plugin.
Yes. Players flips a disco hook, so a chopped pop or disco loop works as well as a played melody. The loops on this page give you a ready phrase to build on.
No, it is one of the simpler lanes. A short minor melody, a bouncy drum pattern and a sliding 808. The hard part is leaving space, not adding more.
