RESPECT. Recap: Beatmakers Round Table with Metro Boomin, Zaytoven & Sonny Digital

Trap Trio Red Bull Music Academy Festival came to New York for the fourth year in a row delivering original events, live shows, lectures and festivals to the fore front by featuring people who build a legacy in this industry. This year the festival ran from April 29 – May 22, three weeks for attendees to get up close and personal with some of musics heavy hitter across all platforms representing diverse genres of music.

This year at the beat-makers round table the lecture highlighted the journey of Metro Boomin, Sonny Digital and Zaytoven. This is where the Atlanta trio was able to examine their production career, the rise of trap music along with the importance of the producer drop that everyone loves.

With the inflation and flood of trap music it is only right to get into the heads of the men who govern this genre to see where their inspiration come from. Deriving from different backgrounds and places the one thing these three men have in common is their passion for their individuality and creativity.

As we know Zaytoven was Gucci Man’s right hand when it came to beats producing his very first single, “So Icey.” Unbeknownst to us he also had a big impact on Sonny & Metro through out their careers, which is why everyone considers him the God father of trap music.

Zaytoven, Sonny & Metro all have different sounds which is why each of them have the opportunity to explain what trap music means to them. Like anything in life we all interpret things differently however with this situation the context was the same.

Calling it hustling music or a hood symphony these melodies are for the people who understand the grind resulting in the dirty and edgy sound trap music has.

If you or someone who is an upcoming producer or just appreciate the aesthetics of this genre of music then this is must watch video!
