trap music
Heavy bass subgenre
Trap music is a style of hip-hop that emerged from Atlanta in the early 2000s, characterized by heavy bass, rapid hi-hats, layered synthesizers, and lyrics often focused on drug dealing and street life.
The name comes from trap houses—locations where drugs are sold.
The style has since influenced mainstream pop and spawned EDM trap, which emphasizes the production elements over rap vocals: That beat is pure trap.
