3A: B♭ minor

Chord B♭m · Open Key 8m · minor key

3A is B♭ minor, a warm key you hear a lot in Afro styles and amapiano, where round basslines sit nicely in this part of the keyboard. Its relative 3B (D♭ major) is one of the rarest keys in the catalog: plan your transitions toward 2A and 4A instead.
