Plugg

Plugg is a mellow, spaced-out style of trap from Atlanta with dreamy synth melodies, sparse drums and deep 808 bass.

It emerged around 2013 from producers MexikoDro and StoopidXool of the BeatPluggz collective, whose spoken tag on their beats gave the style its name. Beats are sparse and laid back, with bell-like keyboards and plenty of empty space, and rappers deliver them in a relaxed, often melodic way. Early Playboi Carti songs brought the sound a wide audience.

Artists it is known for: MexikoDro, Playboi Carti.
