Afro beats

60 afro beats in the BE-TWIIN catalog, most of them sitting between 95 and 102 BPM, and 100 BPM the tempo they land on most. What separates this lane from the rest of the catalog is how romantic it is — 68% of them, alongside low energy and club. 43 of them have their musical key listed, most often F Min, A# Min and G Min, so you can match one to a reference or to a vocal you have already cut. Producers reach for these for hooks and club, and they sit best under a melodic delivery. Every one is an original BE-TWIIN production, mixed and ready to record over, with no tags on the licensed files. If this is the sound you are after, the same beats cross over into Wizkid, Burna Boy and Rema. Stream any of them in full before you decide.

Questions rappers ask about afro beats

What tempo are these afro beats?

They run from 80 to 170 BPM, with 60% between 95 and 102 BPM and 100 BPM the most common. Every beat lists its tempo on its own page.

What key are these afro beats in?

43 of the 60 have a key listed. The most common are F Min, A# Min and G Min. Match the key to a vocal you have already recorded and you save yourself a re-take.

What kind of song works over a afro beat?

Artists mostly use these for hooks, club and late-night records, and they suit a melodic delivery. The dominant mood across the lane is smooth.

Can I use these afro beats for free?

You can stream every beat here for free, and use them free on BandLab, SoundCloud and Voloco with credit. Releasing anywhere else — Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok — needs a paid license.

How much does a afro beat cost?

Licenses start at $29.95 for one beat and one song, and you can upgrade later by paying the difference. Full Monetization covers ten beats with stems and no cap on streams or sales.

Do I keep the rights to my song?

Partly. Your lyrics and anything you wrote yourself are yours, and your license lets you release the song and earn from it. The beat stays BE-TWIIN's, songwriting is split 50/50, and the contract doesn't give you the master recording.
