Trapo • "Average Freestyle"
Words by Javier Nino
At only 18 years of age, Trapo is currently creating a buzz in the midwest. Coming straight outta Madison, Wisconsin, the young rapper has released two mixtapes in the last year with another on the way shortly. While we patiently await the release of Shade Trees sometime this month or next, Trapo continues to put out free verses to keep old fans and new content.
The "Average Freestyle" features a TDE type beat with soulful saxophones and hard-hitting 808 kicks that reminds me of "Untitled 02". The free verse showcases Trapo’s signature gruff voice, precise rhymes, and aggressive lyrics. Trapo might be a fresh face, but he is no rookie on the mic. If you are into Ra’Shaun, Pizzle, or IshDARR, you definitely need to check out Trapo. Make sure to look out for Shade Trees very soon and catch him in Chicago early next month. Details on where to see him coming soon.
Trapo and his spontaneous releases continue into the new year with "Officer Down" and "Match Freestyle".
Each week the These Days staff comes across great music from Chicago artists that we could not provide individual features for.
