Big Will’S #TrapLivesMatter album Drops

Big Will’s TraplivesMatter album drops after all of the controversy surrounding Lil Wayne’s Black Lives Matter comments. There’s no better time to check out St. Louis native Big Will’s new #TrapLivesMatter album. The former BET “106 & Park” Freestyle Friday champion talks to SOHH about piecing together the must-hear release.

The motivation to put together #TrapLivesMatter came from around the time Walter Scott was killed. It was a lot of people who have been killed by police and when I saw the Walter Scott one that really touched home. I’m a 6’3, 300-plus pound black man and I can’t help the conditions that I was raised in. I can’t help where I come from. The only thing that I can really control is what I do. Just felt like it was needed because nobody – especially musically – talks to that demographic that I’m shooting for, which is the people of the hood. Big Will said.

‘’I came up with the thought process that I wanted to put out a trap album. So I studied the trap from Gucci Mane and T.I. to everywhere in-between. I studied as far left as you could go and as far right as you could go’’ He said. Big Will says that he took elements that he loved from every last one of the trap rappers that he listen to and added his own signature to it. He cites Gucci and T.I as his source of inspiration for the album.
