Tyler, The Creator Type Beats

Tyler, The Creator has named Pharrell and N.E.R.D. among his biggest influences, and you can hear it in his synth chords and punchy drum programming. These beats are for artists who like that playful, off-kilter side of hip hop.

Most lean dark, bouncy or quirky, and many have an experimental streak. A lot of them are also tagged Pharrell Williams, and some are drum-led "no melody" beats.

Some of these overlap with my JPEGMAFIA beats, so the picks below skip those and lead with the Tyler side of the catalogue, starting with "Ratata".
