Hip-hop at a walking pace, with drums that sit back and chords that set the mood: the sound people look for when they search for a J. Cole type beat. Every beat here is an original TH6 production, made for writers. Play it, pick a licence, and the files are in your inbox once you have paid.
Somewhere between 85 and 100 BPM, with the drums leaning back instead of pushing, and minor chords doing most of the talking. Nothing in the arrangement competes with the vocal, so a sixteen-bar verse has room to go somewhere.
That is what people look for in a J. Cole type beat: a beat that serves the words. If you write verses that tell a story, this is the lane where they get heard.
Writing a verse that tells a story
Know the last line before you write the first. A story verse lands when the final bars pay off what the opening set up.
Give each verse one scene. A place, a moment, a person: concrete details carry a story further than general statements.
Leave bars empty. Two bars without a word between verses give the listener time to take in what just happened.
Say it like you would tell it. At 92 to 98 BPM there is room for a conversational flow; if a line has to be forced to fit, rewrite the line, not the delivery.
Releasing a song on a type beat
Leave J. Cole out of your title, tags and credits. Distributors such as DistroKid reject titles like "Your Song (J. Cole Type Beat)": the type beat label helps people find a beat, it does not belong on your release.
Credit the real producer. For a TH6 beat that is prod. TH6, filled in at your distributor.
Your licence comes from TH6. J. Cole has nothing to do with the beat, so the only permission you need is the licence you buy here.
Stay within your lease. Streams on every platform count together; past your limit you move up a licence and pay only the difference.
Prices include 21% VAT. If you live outside the EU, you pay the same amount without VAT.
Buy 2, get 1 free: of every 3 beats in your cart the cheapest is free. 2 Unlimited Leases for € 500 instead of € 600. One deal per order; the best one applies by itself.
A beat in the style people search for as J. Cole: laid-back hip-hop with room for storytelling. J. Cole is not involved with these beats; the name describes the sound.
