Frequently asked questions
What BPM are most rap songs?
Golden-era boom-bap rap lives at 85–95 BPM, with 90 BPM being the most common pocket. Modern trap-influenced rap usually sits much higher (130–155 BPM) but uses a half-time feel that sounds like 70–77 BPM.
Is 90 BPM good for neo-soul?
Absolutely — 90 BPM is also a classic neo-soul tempo. Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, and J Dilla productions frequently sit here, often with a slight swing for that signature drunken pocket.
Can I write my own lyrics over a 90 BPM beat?
Yes — paste your bars into the Lyrics editor in Studio and ONYX performs them with your chosen vocal character over a 90 BPM bed.
