It features minimal 808 and 909 drum machine-driven tracks{{cite news|last=Matos|first=Michelangelo|title=How Chicago house got its groove back|url=http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/a-history-of-the-second-wave-of-chicago-house-music/Content?oid=6194277|access-date=28 September 2013|newspaper=Chicago Reader|date=3 May 2012}} and sometimes sexually explicit lyrics.

The template of classic Chicago house music (primarily, "It's Time for the Percolator" by Cajmere) was used with the addition of sexual lyrics. It has usually been made on minimal equipment with little or no effects. It usually features either a "4-to-the-floor" kick drum or beat-skipping kick drums such as those found in the subgenre "juke" (full sounding, but not too long or distorted) along with Roland 808 and 909 synthesized tom-tom sounds, minimal use of analogue synths, and short, slightly dirty sounding (both sonically and lyrically) vocals samples, often repeated in various ways. Also common are 808 and 909 clap sounds, and full "rapped" verses and choruses.

Ghetto house music artists include: DJ Deeon, Jammin' Gerald, DJ Funk, DJ Milton, DJ Slugo, Waxmaster, Traxman, and Parris Mitchell.{{cite web|title=The Five Most Bootylicious Ghetto House Tracks Ever, According to DJ Deeon|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/jp4mjx/the-five-most-bootylicious-ghetto-house-tracks-ever-according-to-dj-deeon|access-date=2021-04-21|website=www.vice.com|language=en}}{{Cite web|date=2013-08-13|title=The Essential...

The late 1990s saw a rise in juke music (also known as juke house or Chicago juke), as a faster variant of ghetto house.{{cite web|last1=Kerr|first1=Stephen|title=A Love Letter to Chicago Juke|url=http://danoef.com/house-music/chicago-juke/|website=DANOEF|date=16 August 2014|access-date=25 August 2015}} Juke songs are generally around 150–165 BPM{{cite news|last=Sheffield|first=Hazel|title=Footwork takes competitive dancing to the Chicago streets|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/may/27/footwork-street-dance-chicago|access-date=11 February 2013|newspaper=The Guardian|date=27 May 2010}} with kick drums, pounding rapidly (and at times very sparsely) in syncopation with crackling snares, claps, high hats, samples in very short increments and other sounds reminiscent of old drum machines.{{Cite web |last=Yenigun |first=Sami |date=14 December 2010 |title=Chicago's Footwork Music And Dance Get A Transatlantic Lift |url=https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2010/12/14/131834348/chicago-s-footwork-music-and-dance-get-a-transatlantic-lift}} The production style is often markedly lo-fi, much like baile funk. Juke evolved to match the energy of footwork, a dance style born in the disparate ghettos, house parties and underground dance competitions of Chicago. RP Boo, a former footwork dancer, is generally credited with making the first songs that fall within the canon.{{cite web|last=Quam |first=Dave |title=Bangs & Works Vol. 1 Liner Notes |url=http://www.planet.mu/discography/ZIQ290 |publisher=Planet Mu |access-date=14 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120513205705/http://www.planet.mu/discography/ZIQ290 |archive-date=13 May 2012 }}
