Trap boricua is a genre of Latin trap music that originated in Puerto Rico, characterized by its dark, introspective sound and raw, emotive energy. Emerging in the mid-2010s, trap boricua combines the heavy, syncopated rhythms of trap with the melodic sensibilities of reggaeton and Latin American folk music. The genre often features atmospheric, minimalist production, with prominent use of 808 drums, haunting synths, and introspective lyrics that reflect the harsh realities of life in Puerto Rico. With its unique blend of melodic hooks, introspective lyrics, and rugged beats, trap boricua has become a major force in contemporary Latinx music, providing a platform for artists to express the complexities and challenges of life in the Caribbean.
