Make Hip-Hop Beats in your browser

Everything you need to produce hip-hop beats — drum sequencer, melodic tracks, audio effects and AI composer — runs directly in your browser at no cost.

🥁

Swing & groove

The Swing slider shifts your steps off the grid, recreating the MPC-style shuffle that gives classic hip-hop its bounce. Even 10–20% swing transforms a stiff pattern into something that breathes.

🎹

Basslines & melodies

Hip-hop lives in the interplay between bass and melody. Use the Bass and Lead tracks with the note picker to build a hook — choose your key and every note stays in scale.

🎛️

Reverb & vinyl warmth

Add reverb to the snare for space, pull the filter down slightly to simulate vinyl warmth, and use delay on the melody to fill the track without overcrowding it.

💾

Save & share

Save your beat to your account or share it with a link. The full pattern, tempo and effects are encoded in the URL — anyone can hear exactly what you made.

Pro tip: less is more. A kick, snare and hi-hat with good swing at 90 BPM hits harder than a busy pattern at the same tempo. Add elements one at a time and stop when it feels right.
FAQ

Hip-Hop Beats questions

Common questions about making hip-hop beats online.

What BPM is hip-hop? +
Classic boom bap runs 85–95 BPM. Modern trap rap pushes 130–150 BPM. Lo-fi hip-hop sits around 70–90 BPM. BeatsMaker works at any tempo from 50 to 200 BPM.
What is swing in hip-hop? +
Swing delays every other 16th note slightly, pushing it off the strict grid. This creates the human, loping feel of classic MPC hip-hop. In BeatsMaker the Swing slider controls this from 0 (straight) to 100 (heavily shuffled).
How do I make a boom bap beat? +
Set tempo around 90 BPM, add swing around 30–40%, place the kick on beats 1 and 2.5, snare on beats 2 and 4. Add a sparse hi-hat and let the groove breathe — boom bap is as much about the space as the hits.
Can I use BeatsMaker beats commercially? +
Yes. Everything you create belongs to you. Export, release and monetize your beats however you want.
