Trap facebook

Trap music is a subgenre that originated during the 1990s from Southern hip hop in the Southern United States.[1][2] It is typified by its ominous lyrics and sound that incorporate heavy 808 kick drums, double-time division hi-hats,[3] layered synthesizers, and "cinematic" strings.[4][5]
Trap music is defined by its ominous, bleak and gritty lyrical content which varies widely according to the artist. Typical lyrical themes portrayed include observations of hardship in the "trap", street life, poverty, violence and harsh experiences in urban inner city surroundings.

Trap music employs a heavy use of multi-layered hard-lined and melodic synthesizers; crisp, grimy and rhythmic snares; deep 808 kick drums; double-time, triple-time and similarly divided hi-hats; and a cinematic and symphonic utilization of string, brass, woodwind and keyboard instruments creating an overall dark, harsh, grim and bleak atmosphere for the listener.[4][5][6][7] These primary characteristics would go on to be the signature sound of trap music originating from producer Shawty Redd. The tempo of a typical trap beat is around 140 BPM
