GUN VIOLENCE

By A Thorny Succulent on March 2, 2014 6:17 am

Self-aware trap? I've been wanting to mess with something trap-like for a while. It's not exactly trap, but it's definitely trap influenced. It didn't come out as I planned cause it was kinda rushed, but it definitely helped spark something so I'm hoping to try some more trap-like stuff in the near future!

Doing this also gave me an excuse to write an article I've been wanting to get off my chest for a while. It's about how I believe trap music is a direct reflection of violence in inner city culture:

Ominous.

The article is a cogent and insightful analysis.
