Sound pack No. 03 · Boom bap hip-hop
BOOM BAP
Dusty soul chops and a kick that knocks.
The 90s sampler sound, built from synths. A knocking, swung kit, soulful electric and jazz pianos, an upright, a fingered bass and a short boom, horn hits and string chops, a rotary organ, and a sitar and a muted trumpet for the hook, with a scratch and a spinback for the DJ.

Dark boom bap at 84 in D phrygian: a sitar riff on the flat 2nd, a boom that slides down a half step, low strings, and a slow, heavy kit.
