The style originated in the American South with serious beats and lyrics that are about showing off and overreacting. It was incorporated into global pop, acquired a Brazilian flavor, and created idols like Kayblack and Veigh, from São Paulo, who topped Spotify in the world
What is the trap?
Trap emerged as a variation of US rap. The first name on the scene was Gucci Wane, in 2005. The genre combines serious rhythms with fun lyrics and financial and sexual conquests, which reflect the desire for social ascent of millions of young people around the world.
Difference between american and brazilian trap
While American trap is characterized by the use of synthesizers and AutoTune (vocal effect), the rhythm here in Brazil reinforces one feature: the low frequencies used in funk and samba. The drum has become the “spice” in Brazilian trap.
Representativeness in the mainstream
Trapper Veigh told the report that his success is a milestone for other young people in the suburbs who see their experiences transformed into music that “bursts the bubble.” “Where I’m from, I was the first artist to grow up like this and I have a responsibility to show that it’s possible,” said the artist.
life opportunity
Kayblack, who also played trap on the Contradições EP, sees the genre as a way for people from the suburbs to thrive. McCaveirinha’s brother says that: “giving a voice to our periphery is showing those who are there that the trap is the opportunity they can have to change their lives”.
