Trap Party started back in 2013 as a YouTube channel and has since went on to evolve into an impressive record label. Back in October we had the pleasure of diving into the mind of Trap Party founder Cristian Tugui to see what has and hasn’t been successful for the brand. Tugui has recently shifted more focus to the label side of things with consistent releases such as the RVKIT remix of Dabow’s ‘Play,’ ‘Slide’ by PhatCap!, and ‘Old Skool’ from HOT MESS to name a few. With the intentions of providing a platform for tracks that no one had heard and other channels weren’t posting,Trap Party quickly declared itself as a pillar of the trap scene. “Trap music was something new back in the day and there were not many YouTube channels that uploaded good content. So I decided to open my own channel and start uploading the content that I enjoyed that other channels didn’t upload. That’s how Trap Party was born and started gaining traction,” says Tugui in his recent FUXWITHIT interview.
We are excited to now come back around and witness the next project come to fruition in this Trap Party Album. Hosting an array of artists on the rise and in a caliber of their own, this is by far one of the best portrayals of raw underground trap and what it has to offer. With a total of 11 tracks, each one brings it’s own representation and energy to the project. With producers such as LAF, bd hbt, episcool and more, each of these artists have been followed closely by us and are considered FUXWITHIT favorites; containing names such as these should be enough to peak any avid SoundCloud listeners interest. A few standout tracks, as hard as it was to pick, would have to be ‘Scrub’ by Sliipow, ‘Banging Bangers’ by Dabow and yojas. ‘sweat’.
The duo Sliipow takes on an ominous intro approach before juggling vocal samples across a gritty bass line that encompasses what trap is. ‘Scrub’ is quick to raise the momentum of the track as it builds on itself and tosses percussion arrangements between octaves, which in return keeps listeners interested. These guys have steadily been on our radar and have mentioned an album in the works. Sliipow has seen success through the likes of Quality Goods Records, Below The Surface and now Trap Party to make their claim among the up and coming artists that you should be paying close attention to.
If you know FUXWITHIT, you know our undeniable love for the Argentinian trap master mind that is Dabow. To see his name included in this compilation only felt natural. With the previous release of Shoot The Arrow vol. 1, he has began releasing some of the ID’s heard within. ‘Banging Bangers’ is a high energy and hard-hitting trap anthem. This is one of those tracks that smash a dance floor after a brief cool down. The bridge slows things back down allowing you to catch your breath before coming back in just as strong as the first drop. The stamina and drive presented by Dabow is undeniable and we look forward to following Dabow’s journey further into the year.
Continuing with the FUX favorites, yojas. is a keen innovator of the trap scene. The way he is able to merge sound design and distinctive structure allows his tracks to come to life. ‘sweat’ is no exception to this as the design is absolutely demented. It is the culmination of the amount of work he has been putting in as he continues to see steady support from key platforms of the scene as well as a steady stream of solo releases. The discipline and determination doesn’t go unnoticed and it is always and instant listen when there is a new yojas. track.
With more focus on the label aspect of Trap Party we can only hope to see a continuation of projects and more. As I have been eagerly waiting for this album to drop, it was well worth the wait and delivered much more than I expected. As a true staple to the underground and trap scene I hope this reaches ears who have yet to discover these artists. Kick back and enjoy the full release below.
