TNGHT‘s return is officially in full effect. With the release of their new II EP earlier this week, we thought there would be no better throwback for today than a classic TNGHT banger from their first EP. ‘Higher Ground’ is the definition of a classic trap banger and a perfect exemplifier of what makes TNGHT so iconic.
Opening with a simple yet addictive vocal loop, the duo layer snappy drums and hitting bass. A riser gives way to the introduction of the trap horns. Providing a powerful and regal energy, the horns take the track from banging to outright epic. These horns helped define trap horns, and all trap horns that would follow. Expertly stripping elements away to let the track breathe and bringing them back provides additional dynamic depth. 7 years after its release, producers are still trying to create trap records with the punch and addictiveness of ‘Higher Ground’. Stream this classic below.
