TRAP - RAP, DRUGS, MONEY, SURVIVAL

Trap music is celebrated as much as it is stigmatized and criminalized. It evokes rap obsessive of artists like TI, Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Young Thug or Future, Atlanta hideouts and prison, in France the successes of 13Block and Kaaris, as well as the snare drum trills in Miley Cyrus hits or Ariana Grande. Trap has thus gone from being a trend specific to the rap scene to a repertoire of techniques and affective structures that attract Today, pop and electronic music artists from all over the world. Ambivalent in more than one way, in constant transformation, it defies the capture by principle. This book focuses on these stories of confinement and escape, thanks to authors who listen to it every day, and who live, write or campaign under its influence.
