Trap Sound was invented by the producers not by the rappers

[@PrimeraEspadaStark]

Duh, Obviously. The genre is more than just the sound, it's also the lyrical content. T.I's 03 album Trap Muzik popularized the merge of the trap sound with the street subject matter of trapping.

The actual sound of trap music was absolutely 36 Mafia, Gangsta Pat, Tommy Wright III and old school Memphis Crunk/horrorcore artists. From the dark atmospheric sounds, to the flows and rhyme patterns, even the melodic deliveries, the lofi asthetic, the horror imagery. Quit over looking these pioneers when talking about trap.

The triplet rapping flows came from that, but i can't say the production style came from that. The Memphis peopme werent really talking about trap too much either. It wsd really just their flow and their rpested phrases for the hooks that got coppied in Trap.

[@Tallehatchi]

[@spacemen2629]

bass is always important

[@MistaTamilan]

Even though the word trap was invented and used by artist in ATL in the mid 90s, but I think the sound was founded in Memphis. They used a bpm of around 100-150 and the drums on their TRs was playing in half time for the bounce with those dirty hi hat rolls. The low quality tape sound actually made the 808s sound distorted despite it coming directly from the sequencer. However this is the main reason why you can't deny they originated the sound: The triplet flow was their sound since 1991. (the flow that most contemporaries are mumbling such as Migos) Some notable artist that have that sound is Triple 6 Mafia (now Three 6 Mafia), Tommy Wright III, and Dj Zirk. But can't deny the fact ATL and other southern rappers have shaped the sound of what we hear across the globe. Hell, I even heard Indian songs influenced by it.

this genre has become the foundation of contemporary pop music in Italy. it's by far the most popular style of music with the younger generations of listeners and artists alike. check out Tran Tran by Sfera Ebbasta or virtually anything by Ghali for the top-level, safe stuff, which then trickles down into more violent music that correlates to various mafia / camorra aesthetics the deeper you go down the rabbit hole.
