Genre LensWhat is Trap?
The dominant modern rap sound. Booming sliding 808 bass, rattling triplet hi-hat rolls, dark minor-key melodies and a half-time feel.

- triplet hi-hat rolls
- halftime snare/clap on 3
- sparse dark melody loop
Anchors rather than an exhaustive canon — if your track sits near these, this is probably the right label.
Usual tempo 130–160 BPM. Sitting outside that range does not disqualify a track; it just makes the tells matter more.
The nearest neighbours in Hip-Hop / Rap, by tempo. If Trap does not quite fit, one of these usually does.
- R&B / Melodic Rap120–150 BPM
The blurred line between singing and rapping. Sung, Auto-Tuned melodic hooks over trap-derived drums, with an emotional rather than combative tone.
- Cloud Rap120–145 BPM
Hazy, reverb-soaked and dreamlike. Washed-out ambient beats, heavily processed or mumbled vocals and an unhurried, floating quality.
- Drill138–150 BPM
Menacing and sparse. Sliding 808s that glide between notes, skittering hi-hats, ominous minor melodies and a distinctive stuttering, off-kilter drum pattern.
- Boom Bap85–100 BPM
Classic 1990s East Coast rap. A hard kick ("boom") and cracking snare ("bap") on a swung sampled loop, usually chopped from jazz or soul records.
