Use minor scales (like A minor or C minor ) to get that aggressive yet emotional feeling.

Use a standard 808 with a short decay but a very hard hit. It should follow the kick closely but add a "galloping" rhythm.

Keep it crisp and centered. For this style, the snare usually hits on the 3 and 7 (in an 8-beat loop).

This is the most important part. Use fast 1/16th or 1/32nd note rolls. The "triplet" feel is essential to the YoungBoy flow. 2. The Melody (Mood)
