"Valet's on Me, Like Some Molly on Tamales"


Might as well hit the gas and go 0 to 100 on this glorious Monday. It should be no surprise that Krewella is at the center of the new heater with Yellow Claw below, but I am a bit taken aback by the Hip Hop vibe of the track. Given Yellow Claw's influence, New World is probably closer to Trap than Hip Hop, but the oriental percussion is what I'll remember most about the track. Sure, the spitfire bars from Yasmine and Taylor Bennett are also noteworthy, but you can't beat the rowdy bass and clangy samples. Follow me on over to Spotify to add this one to the latest party starter mix...#NewWorld

Trap and R&B CAN Be Mixed Tastefully


A few years ago, Lil Eddie was on a short list of R&B artists that I followed with every release. As a vocalist, he's got a soft harmony that sticks with you and his song writing credits are even more impressive than his vocal talents. In my eyes, the architects of songs who write and demo tracks don't get near the credit they deserve for a lot of the top 40 music that ends of getting played. Feel free to lump Eddie Serrano into the group of ghostwriters who are the brains behind the operation.

Needless to say when I saw one of my favorite R&B artists collaborating with an up the dutch trap trio Yellow Claw, it caused a triple take. Although R&B mixed with traptastic drops can be a little jarring at times, I feel like they pulled it off tastefully. It's always a plus to hear some decent vocals that lead up to a massive symphony of bass and high pitched synths. Never Die plus the Waka Flocka featured Techno are both on Yellow Claw's most recent Amsterdam Trap Music Vol 2 if you're in the mood for a larger dose. The key takeaway is that when you see the Mad Decent tag, you know it's about to be a party...#MadDecent

"Got the Club Jumpin' Like a Thousand Jumpin' Jacks"


Suffice to say, when done right, trap music can be like a shot of espresso straight to the bloodstream. Hype is a good starter adjective for the madness Yellow Claw, Diplo, LNY TNZ and Waka Flocka concocted on Techno. I'd liken it to the suicide drink the kids used to make when they mixed all the sodas together in one sugary elixir.

There's a bit of techno, a bit of trap, some Hip Hop flavor, a lot of yelling and plenty of bounce. If you're into moderation or even purity, this track is definitely not for you. If you're up for hearing a crazy mix of fun noises, then you're in for a treat...#TrapGoinTechno
