6lack · 110 to 140 BPM · 6 steps

Brent Faiyaz · Mostly 80 to 120 BPM, often around 90 to 110. A half-time feel makes a lot of it sound much slower. · 6 steps

Chase Atlantic · often 120 to 140 BPM, with slower cuts sitting around 85 to 95 BPM in a half-time feel · 6 steps

Dominic Fike · mid-tempo, usually around 80 to 110 BPM, often with a half-time feel · 6 steps

NAV · 130 to 155 BPM, usually half time · 6 steps

Osamason · 140 to 165 BPM · 6 steps

Rema · 90 to 125 BPM, most around 100 to 115 · 6 steps

SZA · Often around 100 to 140 BPM. Producers frequently land at 130 or 134, with clubbier R&B ideas closer to 100. Half-time drums make almost everything sound slower and smoother. · 6 steps

Tate McRae · around 100 to 115 BPM, with the guitar pop side up to about 150 BPM · 6 steps

The Kid Laroi · often around 110 to 150 BPM, with 114 BPM named directly in the tutorials, usually with a half-time feel · 6 steps

Babytron · Usually around 90 to 100 BPM, with many producers writing the pattern in double time at 180 to 200 so the hats and 808s feel fast. Tutorials land at 90, 100 and 102, and the double time trick keeps the bounce lively without rushing the groove. · 6 steps

Chris Brown · R&B territory with a wide spread and no fixed number. One tutorial keeps a faster idea at 100 BPM and calls 80 or 90 too slow, another cooks at a snappy 181 BPM. Bouncy, often half-time drums make most of it feel smooth and mid tempo regardless of the raw count. · 6 steps

Peso Pluma · No single fixed number. Corridos tumbados sit in a relaxed, mid tempo range, and many songs are written in a 3/4 waltz feel, so the groove sways rather than drives. Set the tempo to the vocal and the strumming instead of chasing a number. · 6 steps

Steve Lacy · No tutorial names a fixed BPM. Steve Lacy's indie and alt R&B sits in a relaxed, mid tempo pocket where groove and space matter more than the number. Pick a tempo you can sing over and let the drums and bass lock into the pocket. · 6 steps

Che · Tutorials recreating Che keep landing at 150 BPM. The wider rage and plugg lane around OsamaSon, Ken Carson and Yeat sits roughly between 140 and 160 BPM, often 160 for OsamaSon beats. The melody runs frantic while the drums stay simple underneath. · 6 steps

Kodak Black · No fixed number. One tutorial works at 158 BPM, another notates the project fast around 180 to 195 but plays effectively near 95 BPM because the beat runs in half time. The feel matters more than the number, so pick a tempo you can rap over and let half time create that slow Florida pocket. · 6 steps

Lil Durk · Usually 150 to 165 BPM. Tutorials frequently sit around 154 to 160, with some pushing to 165. The tempo is fast for the rolling hi-hats, yet long sustained chords keep everything feeling heavy and emotional. · 6 steps

NBA YoungBoy · Usually between 160 and 170 BPM. Tutorials keep landing on 160, 167 and 170, with a producer vlog hovering around 148 to 154. The hard Baton Rouge beats sit high, while the more emotional pain beats feel slower thanks to a half-time groove. · 6 steps

Pooh Shiesty · Usually between 130 and 160 BPM. Tutorials land specifically at 140, 146 and 148 BPM. The raw tempo looks fast, but the tight, sparse drums make the beat feel hard and heavy rather than busy. · 6 steps

21 Savage · Tempo depends on the lane. Dark piano beats in the style of Where You From match the original at 122 BPM, and some 21 Savage beats run faster around 140 to 150, with Savage Mode style tracks like X at 150. Sampled Red Rum style beats run faster: tutorials land at 145 and 160, and one old 139 BPM record gets pitched up to 173 to 175. · 6 steps

BigXthaPlug · Slower than most trap. BigXthaPlug tutorials keep landing in the low 120s. One drops a 140 BPM sample to around 118 to 122, another slows to 126 in D minor, and soul sample tutorials hunt roughly between 110 and 130 BPM. The tempo breathes so the sample and the rapper have room. · 6 steps

Chief Keef · Glo tutorials recreating Chief Keef mostly land between 145 and 155 BPM. A classic Chief Keef tutorial starts at 154 and tries 151, and a beautiful orchestral glo loop sits at 155. The older futuristic lane from 2013 and 2014 runs slower, roughly 128 to 130 BPM. The melody carries almost everything while the drums stay simple underneath. · 6 steps

Ice Spice · Ice Spice beats fuse NY and Bronx drill with Jersey club, and the tempo runs fast. Tutorials in this lane sit roughly between 140 and 158 BPM, with the Central Cee collab tutorial landing at 154 BPM. Straight Bronx drill beats for rappers like Sha Gz swing between 140 and 158 while carrying the same energy. Pick a tempo in that window, because the bounce comes from the Jersey drums rather than busy hats. · 6 steps

J Cole · Soul and boom bap tutorials for J Cole mostly land between 78 and 93 BPM, for example 83, 87 or 90 depending on the bounce. Mellower cuts in the lane of Hunting Wabbitz and Clouds climb toward 110 to 114. The drums stay relaxed so a lyricist has room to rap. · 6 steps

Juice WRLD · Juice WRLD tutorials call 160 BPM a solid middle, with a workable range of roughly 150 to 165 BPM. Some producers start slower around 140 BPM for ambient vibes, and one tutorial pushes a pitched idea up toward 170 BPM. The tempo is melodic emo rap, not frantic, and the melody carries the mood. · 6 steps

Kendrick Lamar · Kendrick tutorials spread wide across tempo. Two classic West Coast and boom bap builds land at 90 and 100 BPM, one breaks down a Section 80 beat at a very slow 60 BPM, and one works off a hi-hat loop at 170 BPM that feels more like 85 in half time. Pick the tempo by mood, slow and reflective or driving. · 6 steps

Key Glock · Key Glock lives in the bouncy Memphis trap of Paper Route Empire. Tutorials recreating his Tay Keith sound start around 130 to 140 BPM, and the wider Memphis and bounce lane runs roughly between 140 and 170 BPM. What matters is not the tempo but the bounce coming out of the hats and the tuned percussion. · 6 steps

Metro Boomin · Tempo sits in the classic trap window. Metro's iconic beats land roughly between 130 and 160 BPM, Metro himself says he works from 120 to over 160, and producers recreating the sound set tempos like 148 or around 140 in the tutorials. The drums stay simple and bouncy while the melody and the groove carry the energy. · 6 steps

PARTYNEXTDOOR · Tutorials recreating the PARTYNEXTDOOR sound sit slow, landing in the mid to low nineties, with producers working at 85, 90 and 95 BPM in a halftime feel. The energy comes from space rather than speed, so the drums stay simple and spaced out. · 6 steps

Playboi Carti · Tutorials recreating beats from Carti's MUSIC era keep landing around 144 to 145 BPM. The wider rage lane around Opium sits roughly between 130 and 160 BPM, with 140 treated as the standard rage tempo and some producers pushing right to 160. Chill Carti beats can run slower. The energy comes from the lead and the drums rather than from tempo alone. · 6 steps

Roddy Ricch · There are two tempo lanes. The melodic guitar and piano beats in tutorials sit slower, usually between 125 and 140 BPM, around 125 for a faster guitar pattern, 133 for a guitar beat in D minor and roughly 134 in the 130 to 140 range. The emotional jazz piano beats land near 140. The bouncy Feed the Streets lane runs much faster, one producer names 160 outright as the tempo for Roddy Ricch beats, and pure drum tutorials push the bounce as high as 162 to 174. · 6 steps

The Weeknd · There is no single tempo. Tutorials scatter widely because The Weeknd spans slow dark R&B all the way to driving synth pop. Pop leaning, danceable beats often land between 100 and 115 BPM, with the groovy four on the floor hooks closer to 100 to 110. Slow, ambient R&B cuts drop to around 75 BPM, and a few dark synth pop tutorials push all the way up to 172 BPM with a double time feel. Pick a tempo that fits the energy of your idea rather than chasing one fixed number. · 6 steps

42 Dugg · Detroit tempo sits fast. One tutorial building a 42 Dugg beat sets the BPM straight to 165 or 170 for the Detroit vibe, then pulls it back a touch because the melody felt too fast once the strings were in. That is the honest window: fast enough to bounce but with room to breathe. The energy comes from the bounce and the strum bass guitar, not from busy drums. · 6 steps

BLP Kosher · Tutorials for this grimey BLP Kosher sound do not pin a fixed BPM. They focus on a dark, mid tempo pocket where the grit, the subby 808 and the Detroit percussions carry the energy rather than speed, and on leaving the rapper room. Pick a tempo that lets the simple melody breathe. · 6 steps

Bryson Tiller · Trapsoul tutorials for Bryson Tiller land somewhere between roughly 100 and 140 BPM depending on the producer, with concrete examples at 105, 115 and 140 BPM. Many work with a halftime feel, programming the hats twice as fast and then halftiming them so the beat drags and sits slow even when the number looks higher. The tempo sets the bounce while the melody stays relaxed. · 6 steps

Destroy Lonely · No fixed tempo, but the tutorials cluster tight. One Destroy Lonely tutorial builds the whole beat at 145 BPM, while the wider Opium lane is often counted in half time around 80 BPM, which feels like roughly 160 once the hats double up. The layered melody carries the energy while the drums stay simple underneath. · 6 steps

Dro Kenji · One Dro Kenji tutorial starts at 152 BPM, picked as the first number that came to mind, because the energy does not come from the tempo. The melodic, emo leaning Internet Money lane stays mid tempo, and because the melody leads, the drums underneath can stay calm and simple. · 6 steps

Est Gee · Est Gee tutorials sit on the faster side of trap, roughly between 144 and 175 BPM, with many producers settling around 150 to 165. Concrete tutorials build at 144, at 152 sped up to 164, at 161 and at 160 to 165. The energy comes from the dark melody and the hard drums, not from blazing fast hats. · 6 steps

GloRilla · Memphis and club tutorials for GloRilla run fast. One tutorial puts the usable range from around 140 BPM at the slowest up to 170 to 180 at the quickest and settles on a solid 170. The tempo carries the club bounce, and the groove comes from the hi-hats rather than from busy melodies. · 6 steps

Icewear Vezzo · Icewear Vezzo beats run uptempo. A tutorial recreating this exact sound starts at 170 BPM, drops it to 160, then sets the drums at 166. The wider Detroit lane is often counted at roughly 100 or 200 BPM, which is the same tempo in half or double time. The energy comes from the bounce, not from busy drums. · 6 steps

Larry June · Larry June tutorials stay slow and groovy. One walkthrough calls 92 BPM the best spot, with a range of 88 to 95 BPM, another producer lands right on 92, and a third says the lower 90s sound the most like Larry June, often 90. The tempo stays relaxed on purpose so the beat bounces instead of rushing. · 6 steps

Machine Gun Kelly · Pop punk runs fast. One tutorial builds the beat at 164 BPM, another sets the tempo to 170 BPM, and producers point out that pop punk lives across a wide range, from around 120 up to 180 BPM for the punkier end. Pick a quick tempo so the strummed guitars and the snare carry the energy. · 6 steps

Nardo Wick · Nardo Wick lives on fast tempo. Tutorials land across the board between 160 and 170 BPM, with producers naming 165 or 166 as a value Nardo Wick uses a lot, and one tutorial even starts at 170 before pulling back to 165. One producer sets 163 and says it should be fast, well over 140 or 150. The energy comes from the fast, hard melody, not from busy drums. · 6 steps

Pop Smoke · Tutorials recreating Pop Smoke land between 140 and 145 BPM. One producer sets 143 and another sets 144. Brooklyn drill is usually written in a half time feel, so the beat rocks slow and heavy even though the tempo sits in the mid 140s. · 6 steps

Post Malone · There is no single tempo. Chill, melodic tutorials sit around 126 to 130 BPM, a dreamier, faster one climbs to 170 BPM, and a Louis Bell style drum session ran at 106 BPM. Reach for roughly 120 to 140 for the classic melodic lane and go higher when you want more energy. · 6 steps

Skrilla · Philly drill reference loops tagged for Skrilla and OT7 Quanny land around 150 BPM. The wider drill lane runs roughly 120 to 145 BPM, and many producers count 150 half time around 75. The energy comes from space and bounce rather than from speed. · 6 steps

Slayr · Tutorials recreating Slayr keep the tempo in the 140 to 160 BPM range, and a tutorial from Wa, who produces a lot of Slayr's catalog, lands at 150 as a safe default. The energy comes from the chords and the 808 rather than busy drums, and a simple hat pattern already feels driving at this tempo. · 6 steps

Trippie Redd · Trippie Redd is flexible on tempo. A tutorial recreating the mood of his NDA album settles around 147 BPM, while an ambient cook up for Trippie and TyFontaine starts at 155 BPM. The melodic, emotional lane therefore sits roughly in the mid 140s to upper 150s, while the harder rage side for Playboi Carti and Trippie runs faster and more aggressive. · 6 steps

YFN Lucci · The tutorials that recreate YFN Lucci beats focus almost entirely on melody and key and do not name a fixed tempo. The melodic trap and melodic rap lane he sits in runs roughly between 130 and 150 BPM and is usually felt in half time, so the beat stays slow, heavy and emotional even though the number looks mid tempo. · 6 steps

YG · West coast and YG tutorials sit slow and bouncy. A beginner YG tutorial builds the whole beat at 92 BPM, another producer calls 90 to 110 a solid west coast range with a safe spot around 95 to 104, and a G-funk flavored beat starts around 90 to 95. The feel is half time, so the groove comes from the bounce and the swing rather than from the tempo. · 6 steps

Koffee · Tutorials in this lane land roughly between 100 and 115 BPM. An emotional dancehall tutorial that lists Koffee next to Swae Lee, Wizkid and Tory Lanez runs at 115 BPM, while a trap dancehall tutorial sits at 101. The tempo stays relaxed, and the bounce comes from the two step hats and the bass rather than from a fast tempo. · 6 steps

Lil Mabu · NY drill, and Lil Mabu beats with it, usually run between 140 and 150 BPM, with some guides pinning it tighter at 138 to 145. The number looks fast, but the beat reads as half time because the snare lands on beat three, so the groove sits heavy while the hats keep moving quickly. · 6 steps

Kanye · Kanye beats are sample driven, so the tempo follows the record you flip. The classic soul sample beats sit mid tempo: Jesus Walks runs around 85 BPM, Heartless around 87, Gold Digger and We Don't Care around 92 to 93 BPM, and Stronger faster at roughly 103. Ready made Kanye type soul chops often land between 75 and 90 BPM. A sped up soul record can also be counted double as half time, which is how one Ableton tutorial lands at 180 BPM. · 6 steps

Kanye West · Two lanes. The soul chop sound sits slow, a sample pitched and chopped around 70 to 95 BPM for the classic bounce, or the same loop halved and felt at 140 to 170. The 808s and Heartbreak lane sits around 95 to 100 BPM, slow and empty. Pick the feel first, then lock the tempo to the sample. · 6 steps

Coi Leray · Bouncy and bright. Coi Leray records cluster in two spots, a melodic bounce around 95 to 105 BPM like Players and Messy, and 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. · 6 steps
