Beats by Dave
Texas. Dirty South. 20+ years on the boards.
From the heart of Texas, the Dirty South, Beats by Dave has been making beats by hand for over twenty years. Hip-Hop, Trap, and R&B instrumentals, crafted the way it's always been done.
No AI. No shortcuts. Every beat on this site was built from scratch on the hardware, dialed in, mixed, and tested by ear. If that ever changes, you'll see it noted right here first. No surprises.
Every beat here is something I'd actually use. The mixes are clean, the 808s knock without rattling your trunk apart, and the melodies land somewhere between sad and confident.
Looking for custom work, a collab, or a beat made just for you? Hit the contact page and let's talk. Placements, full productions, exclusive work. Whatever you're building, if it's hip-hop, trap, or R&B and you want it to hit different, I probably want to work on it.
