Atlanta Trap Music: Here Are Some Trap Artists You Should Know

With the opening of the Trap Music Museum in Atlanta, much attention has been given to the city’s musical heritage. Atlanta trap music owes much of its development to the artistry of the city’s underprivileged communities.

Rapper T.I. is largely credited with creating trap music, especially since he christened an album “Trap Music” back in the early part of the century. But others have tried to share some of the credit, or blame, for the music, which has grown from its Southern roots to all parts of the country.

Still, Atlanta is its birthplace. With that being the case, here are some other trap rappers you should get to know.

Trouble – Selfish

Lotto Savage – Errythang

 

Gunna – Top Off

 

Brodinski – Split

Dae Dae – Bae With Me

 

Shad da God – Strawberry Syrup

 

 

Duke – Better Days

 

Young Nudy – One Dolla

 

Trap music is not just an Atlanta thing. Spreading like kudzu on Metropolitan Parkway, trap music has expanded throughout the Southeast, the United States and across the world. Here are some other artists you should know about.
