Trapo

With a constantly evolving, incredibly versatile, and truly distinct flow, Trapo has - deservedly - garnered a massive audience in an incredibly short time. Flow is nothing with our lyrics, and Trapo’s tracks feature wickedly clever rhymes, witty rejoinders, and wizened reflections. Their musicality and lyricism meld in an indescribable manner, each one amplifying the other in a feedback loop that produces hours of authentic, one-of-a-kind, prodigious music. The beats can be industrial and raw, but in the way a vintage item might be painstakingly reliced in order to make it as valuable as possible. Every single beat and syllable is crafted and cared for with such purpose; to make sure the message is never obfuscated or clouded. On every track, Trapo has something to say - and you’re definitely going to want to start listening.

This week, we’re featuring their brand new single “Refills”. Immediately apparent is the chromatic jazz trumpet sample, setting the mood as simultaneously relaxing but slightly on edge. After a couple repetitions though, Trapo comes in dropping serious bars. Each verse is lyrically packed to the brim, but not a single word is extraneous, making “Refills” a masterclass in lyricism.
