MAKING AN AFROBEAT FROM SCRATCH! (Afrobeat Tutorial - FL Studio)

[@polasbeatz]

As an afrobeat producer, I am excited to see you try your hands on a genre I love to make so much. 🔥❤

[@jaysmt]

Any tips on how to make afro beats.. I really love the sound it's just got me confused

[@johnswagaproducer1022]

@@jaysmt you need to have a good 👍 chord progression first

Jay, I always thougt of sharing with you the idea of making different genres. But now i see yo beating me in Afrobeats!😅😄

[@anthonydefor1650]

Going outside your comfort zone. I love it 👏🏾

[@JayCactusTV]

Gotta try it once in a while!

[@jaleelvrewa1453]

@@JayCactusTV i loved this beat its so smooth. i love the melody the most though can i try something with it?

[@djcribbeats]

Yooo Jay man!! You craaazy!! I watched almost all of your videos! You really REALLY helped me with everything. Especially drill type beats. Thanks a LOT for that 🙏

[@jasong5696]

This guy never makes a bad beat fucking amazing 👏

[@raynoldsvocaldo4244]

Jheez....I love how u get out comfort zone n trying out new ideas n genres....this one came out hard bro....RESPECT!!

[@CaylarBN]

Much 🔥🔥 it's so sick... My soul fly on this beat 😇 Weldone Jay

[@mrlaurobeatz]

That’s not afrobeat That’s dance hall But it sounding good 🔥🔥🔥

[@mistygeezofficial]

How he arranged the kicks first made it an afrobeat..buh he changed it .. it lacks a whole of African sounds .

[@Stupid_Genius_09]

@@mistygeezofficial your comment makes the most sense, thought the same, also that traditional drum pattern initially is inspired by another genre from Angola called “Kizomba” where style like zouk stems from as such, the initial drum pattern still lacked a little to fully have that african afrobeat sounnd to it and usually afrobeat instrumentals the drum pattern are simple more focus is added on the melody and counter-melody plus accompaniments

[@georgeattiogbe5888]

Is a afrobeat from the first snare pattern

[@georgeattiogbe5888]

[@frogwood1713]

Afrobeat usually has polyrhythm , it'd be good to try and include that.

[@Young_tunez]

Been looking forward to an afrobeat, and this was just...🔥🔥🔥

[@prodsgbeatz]

Damn. Your videos never disappoint fr 🔥💯

[@mzwakhemcsivion4447]

Jay my friend this is a awesome challenge, I'm waiting.

[@matthewobastar8641]

Me as an Afrobeat producer….this is impressive 👏👏👏

[@double4onebeatz241]

As a upcoming producer/beatmaker this video inspired me❤️

[@michaellynch8709]

mannn youre legit real nice with it. came here coz i havent done afrobeat before, your instincts are a1. i dont even fuck with drill but you got a subscriber.

[@ManMpha]

Nice one bro. I didn't expect you to make this nice afro beat since you've been making Drill all along. Once again, Splendid!! 🔥

[@jubaszn]

I love that you geek to your own beats

[@ogrezone]

This is a great attempt! You have a good ear for the essential ingredients. Just one thing: this isn’t afrobeat . You need a kick every bar to actually drive this. At 4:45 (the drum section) you actually got it right and then changed your mind 🙃

[@Emzyphynext]

Straight from Nigeria,am happy you did this

Superb! much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬 Jay! 🌵

[@starshine1307]

Jay..the beat z fire😊😊 It has the hiphop touch....and even any random Afrobeat producer will noe the beat was made overseas...just as you the drill mandem can say this drill beat was not made in uk...but africa...i thnk there is jus a slight dffrnce that is always felt and i dont noe why....i always try to make my drill beats sound more Uk like....but🤣 the african touch is still there

@@holydrill let's see how this goes😂😂

[@RCX_Sco]

He’s done dance hall etc with the other UK producers

[@prodbyricbeats]

It kinda sounds trap lowkey 🔥

[@matthewaboh8488]

Good job. The soul of every Afrobeat song is the back and forth between the bass and the bass drum (kick) accentuated by a subtle melody that acts as the theme of the song. Samklef (the Nigerian producer who practically invented this genre) spoke about this a few times. I feel like you should have made the bassline more groovy and then added a simple Synth melody. Thought you were going to do that with the vocal synthesiser you used (which brought a smile to my face), but then you didn't.

Invented? 😂 Have you ever heard of fela kuti, Sarz, d bankmj, don jazzy or lagbadja?

[@EarDrumBeatz]

@ lol bro was a about to ask the same thing... and also felas drummer the late Tony Allen ...

[@Yzee-v3g]

Bro this beat is sick

[@O9_BEATz]

Fire 🔥. Ever thought of making a hard Amapiano beat , some Mellow and Sleazy type hits ?

[@collinskiprono2450]

Jay my guy, you need to tell us where you upload these beats that aren't drill Can't find them on your website Will highly appreciate it And also the beats you made with Yxng Finexxa, they aren't on your beats channel and they were drill I believe

[@itzs1nghzk1ng]

You need to make a PUNJABI style uk drill beat. Search up punjabi drill and listen to a few songs and beats maybe, its a unique stlye, so make sure you do that. But please do make it when you get time - good video as always!

amazing Afrotrap right its banger for real

[@tambinelvis7051]

Thank's bro for that banking beat.cool trying and Afro beat.To make it true afro beat you need some afro melody Guitars in the mix and maybe some saxophones or marimba,kalimba. To merge it nice one.love bro✌🏻✌🏻

[@Ivylimitz]

hellow, just jumped now into your channel. i have passion in making beats but the way u do it is complicated

[@isitgts2671]

🔥🔥🔥I love it

[@Million_Hustler]

Fire bro❤❤

[@sawtooth808]

Amazing job on this track, if and when you another Afro beat track, use the advanced step sequencer option, and use Euclidean. The channel Inflight Muzik has a tutorial on using this option, the number sequence how to use it. Doing this creates interesting Afro beat type poly rhythms
