Hip Hop Chords & 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.
