Each song thriving on Trappin In Tha Summer holds a special place in Rappa’s heart because they each represent one of the many unique experiences he and his collaborators share while locking in the studio.

For instance, the track “Focus” was a result of a podcast session with Santeezy and BennyAve, where they discussed their Slapeton sound—a blend of reggaeton and Hip Hop.

Production-wise, Rappa shared that he always studies the music he releases, observing how listeners react and what they enjoy. While there’s no fixed formula for making good music, he believes in creating organic sounds that resonate with his audience. The success of his music is a testament to his dedication to understanding what people truly connect with.

Collaborations have been a pivotal aspect of Rappa’s musical journey. He has developed strong chemistry with artists like Santeezy and Nhale. Together, they have created unique sounds, such as the Slapeton genre, a blend of reggaeton and West Coast slaps.
