Trap Boricua
Trap boricua is Latin trap from Puerto Rico, the place where Spanish-language trap first grew into a movement.
'Boricua' is a word Puerto Ricans use for themselves. The style pairs slow 808 bass, skittering hi-hats and Auto-Tuned vocals with blunt lyrics about street life, sex and money, and many of its artists also record reggaeton. It rose around the mid-2010s through online releases and remixes packed with guest rappers, then fed the worldwide spread of Latin trap.
Artists it is known for: Anuel AA, Bad Bunny, Bryant Myers.
