The best way to understand how trap started is to follow the trajectory of its sound. Still, the TR-808 gave birth to trap thanks to three effects it manufactures: 808s, hi-hats and snares.

Rather than trying to mimic actual instruments the TR-808 gave them a new electric sound and, after just three years, production ceased. The machine, which allows you to manipulate synths and replicate drums and snares and kicks, was ahead of its time. The sound that we recognize as trap all started with the Roland TR-808 - a drum machine manufactured by the Roland Corp. News to you? Well, that’s why we're here. And even if music lovers link trap’s origins to Atlanta in the 1990s, few know that “trap” is more than a musical genre - it’s a real place that refers to where drugs are hidden in a car, where deals get made, and how hard it is to escape that lifestyle and poor inner-city neighborhoods. Even if you find someone familiar with the 808, they probably can’t tell you about the fast pitter-patter hi-hats that originated in New York or the drums that were mastered in New Orleans. But few seem to know its origins, how it caught fire and the principal elements of its sound. There’s trap yoga, trap theater, trap paint - you name it. You could say that trap has transcended its original framework to become an aesthetic. The sound, and genre, has since seen innovations, reincarnations and additions, spinning off even more subgenres. The distinctive sound can be traced back to the Roland TR-808 machine, the first to produce its signature 808 thump. Trap is a subgenre of rap and hip-hop that emerged from the American South in the ’90s. It was boldly present in Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings,” throughout Bad Bunny’s “MIA'' and can even be heard in the country hit “Meant to Be” by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line. We are in an era when trap music is king.
