Vapor Trap

Vapor trap is Spotify's label for hazy, slow-moving trap with washed-out, reverb-heavy production and a detached, dreamlike mood.

The music it groups sits between trap and cloud rap: 808 bass and ticking hi-hats under blurry synth pads, pitched samples and murmured or Auto-Tuned vocals. The name seems to nod to vaporwave, the internet genre built on foggy, slowed-down sounds. The term is rarely used outside Spotify, where listeners would more likely call this cloud rap or underground trap.
