Hip Hop Chord Progressions

ii7 → V7 → Imaj7 → IVmaj7

The cozy, nostalgic sound of lo-fi beats. Jazz-influenced 7th chords create that warm, slightly melancholic study music vibe.

i → VII → VI → V

The dramatic, intense minor-key progression used in powerful K-pop songs. Often features Phrygian mode influences for an exotic, dark feel.

i → iv → VII → i

The ominous flute-driven trap progression from Mask Off. The i-iv-VII creates a dark, hypnotic loop that defined trap music's atmospheric sound. Simple but incredibly effective.
