Within Memphis Rap & Phonk, you’ll find:

Bass Loops & One Shots

One-shots are included for building your own custom basslines and layering additional low-end exactly where it’s needed.

Drum Loops & One Shots
Hard-hitting, hypnotic rhythms built around the iconic drum-machine patterns of Memphis Rap and Phonk. Expect punchy 808 and 909 kicks, crisp snares, tight claps, and rolling drum machine percussion that delivers the raw, aggressive energy central to the sound. Full loops and top loops are included for maximum flexibility, and one-shots give you complete control over layers and groove.

FX Loops
Dark, atmospheric FX designed to add tension, character, and movement to your arrangements. From atmospheric crackle textures and dub sirens to impact hits and classic percussion FX loops, these sounds glue sections together, enhance atmospheres, and reinforce the intense energy that defines the Memphis Rap & Phonk sound.

Melody & Chord Loops & One Shots
Haunting, hypnotic melodic and harmonic elements that capture the darker sound of Memphis Rap and Phonk.
