If Dr. Dre had a secret protégé making moves from the shadows, it might just be Abel Beats. This talented producer brings that unmistakable West Coast sound with beats hotter than a midday cookout in Compton.

Channelling the essence of legendary producers like Dre, DJ Quik, and Just Blaze, Abel crafts beats that match the quality of these industry giants, minus the major-label producer fees. While his signature sound leans heavily into California G-Funk, he’s just as capable of delivering East Coast-influenced bangers as well as Trap-inspired rhythms for a more contemporary Southern feel.

What sets Abel apart isn’t just his exquisite knack for face scrunchingly good compositions—it’s the attention to detail in his sonic palette. His beats are laced with rich Moog leads, atmospheric textures and fx, deep, perfectly balanced synth basslines and lush wah-wah chords that ooze G-funk flavour. All laced over drums that have both punch and crispness in equal abundance.

Perfect for rappers, singers, and pop vocalists looking to level up their sound, Abel Beats is a name you’ll want to remember. So click here to check out Abel Beat on Routenote Create as well as a top-drawer assortment of other beatmakers
