As with any new trend, we also have to filter out all the generic “Trap Remixes” and tracks that seem to flood websites such as Soundcloud on a daily basis. With this sudden surge of this style of production, we have been blessed to hear great new music from artists such as RL Grime, Flosstradamus, and Baauer. We now have Hip Hop producers/artists working with EDM producers creating an exciting new genre of music. Two genres that had previously been on completely different sides of the spectrum are now working together to bring a new energy and sound to the club scene. This pairing of EDM (electronic dance music) and Hip Hop has turned out to be quite the perfect match. This new style of music has been making quite a buzz in the music industry with new producers, dj’s and artists popping up daily. The overall music production of this genre consists of elements taken from predominantly Down South Hip Hop, House and Dubstep. Over the past year, Trap music has become the fastest growing genre of music.

So what is this recent buzz about type of music? Whether it was on Young Jeezy’s track, “Trap or Die”, T.I.’s sophomore ablum “Trap Muzik”, or on Gucci Mane’s mixtape, “Trap God”, the word “Trap” has been around for years in Hip Hop. If you’ve followed artists such as Young Jeezy, T.I., and Gucci Mane, you’ve heard the term “Trap” used often.
