In this music you will hear a hard bass line, rhythmic snares, and 808 kick drums in post production.

Within these musical examples from Artists: Waka Flocka, Migos, Latto, LIl Yachty and Lil Boat, you get a sense of ‘trap’ as a lifestyle.

On the surface level, Trap refers to sex, drugs, and money and an idealistic lifestyle when it is actually drawing attention to the social and economic disparities not only in Atlanta but the Black Community as a whole.
a Major issue that female rappers like Latto are highlighting in their music is the hypervisibility of Black women within the music industry.
