17 year old Madison rap prodigy Trapo released his highly anticipated SHE EP, produced entirely by Derrick Thomas Jr. Trapo’s debut project, The Black Beverly Hills, impressed the nation, and the SHE EP shows incredible growth in content and musicality. If you didn’t know any better you’d think the high school senior had years of experience over his peers. Trapo has certainly done a lot of living in the past few months, and now the young vocalist’s got women on his mind. He describes the project as, “…a complete therapy session. Each song is filled with genuine feeling, and relates to women both currently and no longer in my life, This isn’t just some corny love tape. SHE is entirely from a male perspective, or at least from my perspective. It’s me falling in and out of emotions.”
SHE premiered via HotNewHipHop (where listeners have rated it VERY HOTTTTT,) you can cop at iTunes. What first drew me in about Trapo is the quality of his voice – a unique & emotive instrument, deep and rich with some gravel, and seasoned beyond his years. His bold wordplay, incisive and open, is throughly engaging throughout SHE. He relates his varied experiences with women, moods range from dismissive to desirous and befit his age. SHE has a few features; Chicago based theMind and Max Wonders, and Meraki from Milwaukee. Trapo made a wise choice having agile beatmaker Derrick Thomas Jr. produce the whole thing, he’s versatile yet provides congruity adding to the smoothness of the piece. Some of my early favs are “She Moved On,” “Prototype” featuring Wonders, “Special” featuring theMind and of course “Chicago.” It was a pleasure to post Trapo’s first interview back in September, and man has he leveled up since. Listen to SHE to get inside the mind of Trapo, he’s on a roll right now. :lipstick:
“This ain’t a drill baby get to the dancing.”
