T.I. Speaks On Trap Music Inventor Tag Proclaims Himself As The Inventor
T.I. Speaks On Trap Music Inventor Tag! Southern Hip Hop has maintained its foothold on the rap industry’s neck since the dawn of the new millennium. With the exception of artists like Curren$y, Scarface, Ludacris, and The Dungeon Family, many rap fans have pigeonholed the South for its booty, crunk, crunk, snap, and trap movements and the lack of depth in its rappers’ lyrical content.
But since the emergence of Atlanta’s T.I. on his superstar-solidifying opus Trap Muzik in 2003, he’s relentlessly shelled out countless solo and collaborative classics that consist of sophisticated, gangsta, and turn-up content with his sleek, nuanced cadences as one of the greatest MCs ever.
As the King of the South, T.I. has brought his imprint Grand Hustle to the forefront of Hip Hop with an attuned scope of brand marketing and acquiring the Dirty’s best talent for 14 consecutive years. His star-studded roster has included B.o.B., Young Dro, DJ Drama, Iggy Azalea, Houston legend and newly appointed Grand Hustle vice president Trae The Truth, and Travis $cott to name a few past and current success stories. Now with the label new crop of talented lyricists such as London Jae, Translee, Yung Booke, RaRa, Brandon Rossi, 5ive Mics, Tokyo Jetz, they are looking to be rap’s top rookie camp under T.
During an interview T.I was asked if he was the inventor of Trap Music and he said, ‘I want you to tell me when did you first hear the words “trap music” put together before Trap Muzik dropped?” the interviewer could not answer and ended up having to admit to T.I being the inventor.
