What do you think of my rap beat?

Here's my thoughts and suggestions:

  • The sounds are very interesting.  ("Very!")

However:

  • Right now they have no presentation and no structure.

"Songwriting" is very much(!) "storytelling," whether the song has words or not. A story has structure, and the listener very quickly comes to expect it.  Start with this discussion which was published elsewhere on this(!) site:  https://www.songstuff.com/song-writing/article/song-form-overview/

 

Therefore, you need to think about how to use these sounds that you have made, and to arrange them into a sequence that will be "familiar, therefore engaging, even exciting," to the listener.  Lead them on an interesting journey through your universe of interesting sounds.

Very true. I'm working on it.
