Behind the music:

Trap music, a genre emerging in the early 2000s in the Southern United States, particularly Atlanta, Georgia, is known for its lyrical content focused on the struggles and successes of urban life. Characterized by aggressive lyrical themes and soundscapes that include 808 kick drums, hi-hats, synthesizers, and cinematic strings, trap music reflects the harsh realities of its origins. Artists like T.I., Gucci Mane, and Jeezy are considered pioneers of the genre, which has since influenced a wide range of music styles worldwide. Today, trap continues to evolve, incorporating elements from various genres and expanding its influence in mainstream music.
