Addicted To The Trap

Trap Music, you may think I mean the glorious southern cocaine rap stylings of Young Jeezy, Pusha T, T.I. or even Rick Ross. But you'd be mistaken, now don't get me wrong I love cocaine rap music, but the Trap Music I speak of is a bit different. Imagine you take some Rap/HipHop, Pop, EDM, Drum & Bass, Jersey Club and mix it all up you'd start to get a feel for the music I speak of. Now Trap Music isn't for everyone, HipHop purist will hate it, because if it isn't boring 80's rap or super lyrical shit, they hate it (but that's a different discussion) House & Electronic purist will too hate it, it's just not always music to dance to. But plenty will love it. I stumbled upon it one day on YouTube and have been hooked ever since. I sneak Trap songs into my DJ sets as much as possible, particularly a remix of Justin Timberlakes Suit & Tie by Ta-Ku. Probably one of my favorite things about Trap Music is that the Artist/DJ's that make Trap Remixes do so to such a wide variety of songs. Whether your favorite Hov song, Rihanna's chart topping hits, Ellie Goulding or Lana Del Rey it seems like no artist is safe. Even Drake & Kanye have been given the Trap treatment.

Do yourself a favor, go give it a listen you may find some songs you will absolutely hate you may find some that you will definitely love. Break out of the Musical Box, the self imposed Exile to 1 Genre free your mind, take your ears on a journey. Infectious bass, tantalizing synths, orgasmic build ups and insane drops. How could you not give it a listen after that.

Here are a couple sites to help you in your journey (other than YouTube & Sound Cloud of course):
