Triggerman (beat)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Triggerman beat, also known as Triggaman, is a one-bar drum loop that somewhat originated from "Drag Rap" by the Showboys.[1] The one-bar drum loop was known to be used in bounce music, which has been influential in recent hip hop music, including T.I. and Lil Wayne's "Ball",[2] Drake's "Nice for What" and "In My Feelings", and also "Go Crazy" by Chris Brown and Young Thug.[3][4]

The beat was created by Orville Hall and Phillip Price, who went by the name the Showboys, for the song "Drag Rap". It is regarded as "a classic story rap that lifts both its sonic and structural cues directly from Dragnet."[5]
