The sound of these hip-hop beats
Hip-hop at a walking pace, between 90 and 100 BPM. The drums sit back, the chords do the talking, and there is space in the arrangement for words. It is the lane of J. Cole: verses that tell a story, a hook that does not need to shout.
These beats are built for writers. Nothing in the arrangement competes with a vocal, so a sixteen-bar verse has room to go somewhere.
Writing to a hip-hop beat
- Write in sixteens. A two-minute beat at 92 to 98 BPM holds around two verses and two hooks, the classic shape.
- Let the chords set the mood of the verse. Minor keys pull a verse towards reflection, which is exactly where this style lives.
- Leave gaps. A pause on the beat lands harder at this tempo than at 150 BPM.
- Keep the hook short. Two or four lines that sum up the verse are enough.
Picking the right beat
Read your verse out loud over each beat. The one that matches the pace you naturally talk at is the one to take. Brownstone is a collaboration between TH6 and Birch.

Questions before you buy
What BPM is hip-hop?
Classic hip-hop usually sits somewhere between 80 and 100 BPM. The TH6 hip-hop beats run at 92–98 BPM, a walking pace that leaves room for words.
What makes a beat good for storytelling?
Space. Drums that sit back, chords that set the mood, and nothing in the arrangement that fights the vocal for attention.
Who produced Brownstone?
Brownstone is a collaboration between TH6 and Birch.
What is the difference between the leases?
Every lease comes with a tagged WAV and MP3, and the Unlimited Lease adds the stems. The lease decides how far you can take the song: up to 100,000 streams on Basic, 150,000 on Premium and no limit on Unlimited. Go past your number and you pay the difference to move up, never the full price again.
Can I buy a beat exclusively?
Yes. An exclusive takes the beat off the shop and is agreed in writing, including whether the tag comes off. Mail info@th6gotit.com with the beat you want.
Is VAT included?
Yes, the prices include 21% VAT. If you live outside the EU you pay the same amount, without VAT in it.
