Rock Beats

Rock beats with live-played guitars, for rappers and singers

I play the guitars on these myself. While I was making them, Nirvana's In Utero was the record on my mind, and a lot of that raw grunge energy ended up in them.

The drums switch between a live-style rock kit and trap drums, sometimes within the same beat, so they work for rappers crossing into rock as much as for pop punk singers, emo rappers and screamers.

Styles range from grunge and pop punk to indie and Brit rock and heavy trap metal. The hardest one here is "Darkness", which is also my most-viewed rock beat on YouTube.
