Harmony analysis
Pop Smoke – Hello (A Boogie wit da Hoodie): key and chord analysis
The song opens on Ebm and ends on B. Its chords belong to both Gb major and Ebm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
Eb minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Cb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = Db (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Eb minor side because it opens on Ebm and Ebm is heard 2 times while Gb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Gb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is Gb major and its relative Eb minor (6 flats). 2 different chords appear 4 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
Chord movement
- B Ebm GbIV → vi EbmVI → iVI → i ×1
The move to watch is B → Ebm, heard once. From the Ebm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the Gb side it reads IV → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Gb major pentatonic and Eb minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Gb – Ab – Bb – Db – Eb): start from Gb for a brighter phrase, from Eb for a bluesier one.
- Over Ebm, land on Eb, Gb, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over B, land on B, D#, F# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on Ebm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Ebm, B; read them as vi–IV in Gb or i–VI in Ebm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on B → Ebm (IV → vi in Gb, VI → i in Ebm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. The final chord is B; the ear comes to rest in Gb.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
