What defines pop trap?
Pop trap takes the production of trap and the songwriting of pop and meets in the middle. The beat is modern: half-time drums, an 808, hi-hat rolls. The melodies and harmony are pure pop, catchy and easy to sing, with none of the harder edges of street rap.
The aim is reach. Pop trap wants to land with as many ears as possible, so it keeps the chords familiar and the hook front and center while the trap elements keep it current.
