What Is TrapSoul?

TrapSoul is a fusion of soulful R&B melodies and trap-inspired drums, first pushed into the mainstream by Bryson Tiller’s T R A P S O U L album. The genre blends emotional storytelling, atmospheric textures, and punchy 808-driven production.

It’s moody. It’s melodic. It’s cinematic.
And it’s dominating modern R&B again in 2025.

Artists choose TrapSoul for its warm chords, relatable emotion, and open sonic space for vocals to shine.
