Week...I don't even know anymore

This week, I started working on a trap influenced beat. Trap is a subset or genre of hip hop which arose most prominently out of Atlanta, taking also influences from Houston and the South in general. Trap at the moment is the most popular movement in hip hop by far, spawning superstars such as Migos, Future, and Young Thug. The entire sound of mainstream hip hop has also been influenced by trap music, most notably the deep and dark 808 drums and the synths associated with it. If the song fits the mood of a dark, crowded, live club at 2 A.M. on a Friday, it's trap. On youtube, there are plenty of examples of trap beats and the processes in which they're made, and on Fruity Loops there are tons of plug ins that are trap inspired; trap drums, trap keys, trap synths, etc. Relatively speaking, trap beats can be very barebones and simple. The most important part of a trap beat is creating an often dark, spacey, yet energetic environment. It's going relatively well.
