Morphology
The constituents 'type' (a class or kind) and 'beat' (a rhythmic track) combine compositionally to yield the basic idea of 'a beat of a certain kind,' so a learner can infer a general meaning. However, the specific industry sense — an instrumental produced in the style of a particular artist and used as searchable producer jargon — is specialized and not fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
The noun type beat comes from producers labeling a type of beat with a well-known artist's name, for example 'Drake type beat', to show the track copies that artist's sound. That's why it now means 'a music track made in the style of a particular artist'.
