R&B beats

479 r&b beats in the BE-TWIIN catalog, running from 70 to 190 BPM, and 140 BPM the tempo they land on most. What separates this lane from the rest of the catalog is how much of it is built for emotional records — 73% of them, alongside storytelling and low energy. 296 of them have their musical key listed, most often D# Min, F Min and C Min, so you can match one to a reference or to a vocal you have already cut. Producers reach for these for hooks and late-night records, 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 Drake, Don Toliver and Gunna. Stream any of them in full before you decide.

Questions rappers ask about r&b beats

What BPM are r&b beats?

Most sit at 140 BPM, and 60% fall between 118 and 170 BPM. The full range runs from 70 to 190 BPM, and every beat lists its tempo on its own page.

What key are these r&b beats in?

296 of the 479 have a key listed. The most common are D# Min, F Min and C 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 r&b beat?

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

Can I use these r&b beats for free?

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

How much does a r&b 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.
