As one of the defining genres of modern music, trap music requires no introduction.
All across the industry, trapstars are being made overnight and producers have a particularly large role to play in the success of this genre.
By producing hit after hit, many trap producers have become household names, such as 808 Mafia, Lex Luger, Zaytoven and many more.
In fact, many trap producers have become so influential that simply using one of their beats can result in overnight stardom.
Trap was primarily influenced by the grimey, hard hitting beats from the Dirty South Hip-Hop genre of the 90’s. Even to this day, the south, specifically Atlanta remains the central hub for aspiring trap artists.
However, modern trap constantly takes influences from hip-hop subgenres across many different regions such as Houston, New York, and even California.
The ability for this genre to constantly evolve while maintaining its roots has allowed trap to become one of the most successful genres in modern music.
Despite its evolution and variations, trap beats still have defining characteristics. These being: the use of synthetic drum sounds, high pace bpm (130-170), and a triplet rhythm.
In terms of music theory, trap beats distinguish themselves from other genres of hip-hop by heavily utilizing half-step movements in notes to create an eerie, dark mood.
Additionally, trap chord progressions typically use minor scales to help further establish a dark, eerie, and aggressive vibe.
Trap music tends to be a very drum centric genre, with the 808’s being turned up to the max to really get those speakers rattling. However, the melodies and chord progressions are kept simple and repetitive.
As trap continues to evolve, different scales and chord progressions are being utilized to keep the genre fresh and the music scene evolving.
Some of this may be difficult to understand if you didn’t grow up playing piano or studying music theory. It can be extremely difficult to create some of these advanced chord progressions even with years of training.
But don’t worry, we got you.
