Russian trap is a gritty, bass-heavy sub-genre of hip-hop emanating from the expansive landscapes of Russia that melds aggressive lyrical content with dark, atmospheric beats. Characterized by its use of Russian language, the genre often explores themes of street life, personal struggle, and braggadocio, much like its Western counterpart, but with a unique post-Soviet perspective that colors its narratives. The music frequently incorporates traditional Russian sounds and cultural references, juxtaposed with the signature hi-hat rolls and 808 kick drums characteristic of trap music. Artists within this sphere convey a raw, unvarnished authenticity through their music, reflecting the rebellious spirit and complex identity of a modern Russian youth culture that navigates a world of both hedonism and hardship.
