I Made This Beat Just for Fun… Then It Got Placed! | Chris Travis Beat Breakdown

I made this beat just for fun, with no artist and no placement in mind… then Chris Travis used it for “Your Makeup.” In this video, I break down the full production process behind the beat and explain one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as a producer: not every beat needs to be a type beat. I made this on my laptop with limited plugins and sounds, which forced me to experiment with stock plugins, try unusual ideas and stop overthinking the placement potential. The result was a unique beat I never expected a rapper to use. Sometimes the beats you make for yourself—and simply have fun creating—are the ones that inspire artists the most. Rappers hear type beats every day. Giving them a sound they haven’t heard before can be exactly what gets their attention.
