Making a Hard Hitting Pop Beat – BMS Ep. 58

Feb 01, 2015 by Malek - 0 Comments

Happy Sunday! I am really excited about this one. I started it during a trip to New York City where I had the opportunity to work in Alicia Keys’ studio. When I got home I finished up the beat and here it is! The energy in NYC brought this sound out of me and I definitely hear someone like Justin Timberlake on it. Enjoy!

Busta Rhymes and Nicki Minaj Type Beat – BMS Ep. 57

I’m back with another episode of Beat Making Sundays! This beat is really crazy, which is why I called it “Pure Cray.” There is a lot of energy in this one and I can see probably a fast rapper on it, but maybe even a singer. Who do you hear on this beat?

Sampling is at the heart of hip-hop music’s origin. It is also one of the cornerstones of how much of today’s chart-topping music is created. In the video below I show how I make a sound that I assign across an entire MIDI keyboard from a sampled audio file using Logic Pro‘s EXS24 Sampler.

Please leave any questions that you may want me to answer in an upcoming episode in the comment box below.

Mac Miller Piano Driven Hip-Hop Beat – BMS Ep. 56

I know I haven’t been making videos in a while. I apologize for such a long delay. I promise I will try my best to make videos on more of a regular basis. This new beat is called “Honeybee” which is a light-hearted piano driven hip-hop beat with great drums and percussive details. I can definitely hear someone like Mac Miller on it. Who do you hear on this beat?
