TrapSTAR's & DJ KG's THE MADD TRAPPER gets Rave Review

TrapSTAR & DJ Kurious George's THE MADD TRAPPER Mixtape, dropped last month on April 20th. To say the mixtape has been a success would be an understatement. With over 800 downloads and over 600 views of the "TRU 2 Dis" video, you can say its been a busy month. ShermMusic.com founder, Sherm aka @ShermLife, took the time to review the mixtape and here are his thoughts. “The Madd Trapper” // TrapStar / DJ Kurious George Reviewed by: Sherm @ShermLife Release Date April 20, 2012 The Madd Trapper mixtape opens up right after a quick intro from DJ Kurious George with a high energy track in which the SC emcee takes the time to bring new and old listeners up to speed on what's been going on with the ExtraGrind Nation General, and to reassure them all that no matter what, he's gonna “Always Be Around.” He touches on issues with management, industry relationships etc. A nice way to open up the mixtape because it sets the tone for a high energy, street banger and gives you insight into what to expect. The next track “Get Up, Get Out” is a more introspective track while a call to arms for all of those out there who struggle with the grind of day to day survival; a motivational track that rides hard. Production is noticeably perfect for the song. The hook definitely stuck in my head after the track ended. For the ladies, “Glass Of Milk 2” is one of those songs where the beat lets you know right off top that its a chick song, but one you can ride to and lean back. TrapStar floats atop the beat as he flips the comparison of a female to a computer. The dopest I've heard in recent memory. Next it rides right into “Im Cold” on which he lays down his pimp game and lets the chicks know what's up. “Poe Up” automatically makes you reach for the volume to turn it up. The beat is just like that. The flow on the beat makes you bop with it even before you start listening to what's being said. “Where I'm From” is a gritty street song, and you know it off top. Sounds like a B.G. type song. This track is undoubtedly the true hood anthem on this project. “Interstate Music” is by far the best song on the album. Not saying the other songs aren't as good, but this one is “Radio Ready” and could pop up on the radio and sound like its supposed to be there. Nothing needed from the label or the station, just play it. All three rappers ride the beat just like the interstate that they're spitting about. While the topic isn't anything prolific, this song is a beast at what its supposed to be; a song to ride to. ReUp Rio shines in his verse as he paints a visual that's pretty easy to see if you're listening. “Show Me The Money” & “Toyfriend”could definitely be getting spins this summer as well if they fall on the right ears. Another great showing from the features push them over the top. “Higher,” the song for the smokers is right on time as he spits about everyone's favorite topic...that medicinal. Re-Up provides another sweet 16 and makes it all stick like glue. The Madd Trapper rounds out with a grimey strap up and ride track called. “TRU 2 Dis” (Video available) and it really puts a tight finish on the mixtape. It's a bouncy track that will leave you waiting to see what the TrapStar and ExtraGrind Nation have to offer up next. If this is a sign of things to come it should be a good summer for the ExtraGrind Nation and their following. IF YOU HAVEN'T TAKEN TIME TO DOWNLOAD THE MADD TRAPPER, THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON?

TrapSTAR's THE MADD TRAPPER Mixtape is finally here!!!

Yesterday marked the return of TrapSTAR to the South Carolina music scene with his new mixtape, THE MADD TRAPPER, hosted by Upstate Heavyweight Get Money DJ Kurious George. This mixtape has been anticipated for over a year, and sure not to disappoint any original or new TrapSTAR fans.
Its sound was provided by primarily Djay Cas of The Academy, whom is TrapSTAR's go to guy for production. Traxx On Dekk, Midi Marc, Game Over Production, and Vybe contribute a track apiece also for the project.

DJ Kurious George keeps the listener locked in for the ride through the SC streets of the Upstate. Collaborations are primarily in-house this go round as TrapSTAR looks to establish his Extragrind Nation roster. Vino, Reup Rio, CP, and Rodd Durrah make appearances. Also features Young Mayes from Currency Gang and Big B.A.M.A. aka Yacht.

We appreciate all the love and support, and even the hate over here at Extragrind Nation!

DOWNLOAD THE MIXTAPE AND ENJOY!!!

WOW yall its really been a minute.

I know I know, first of all I know its been a minute. Let me say I apologize for my rudeness in not updating the blog. I know a lot of you keep up with me via Twitter so I know you've been getting the music there. But to those that don't you should @TrapSTAR1. First off its 2012, a new year and a new chance to do better than 2011. At least I did drop a project last year, Trapping 4 Beatz 3, which I appreciate you all downloading, streaming and enjoying it. This year I promise to crank it up another notch. We got THE MADD TRAPPER mixtape coming in February with DJ Kurious George. We got Vino's F*CK MY P.O. mixtape coming sometime this month or next. Duffel Bag Bruce working hard on his project MIND OF A HUSTLA. CP in the beginning stages of his mixtape. I can see a DEM EXTRAGRIND BOIZ Mixtape sometime in the Fall of this year.

What some who think I've just been slacking fail to realize, is that this whole time I've been in the studio. So I have compiled a lot of material and have taken my time in planning my comeback to the state of SC. I've really been on a 2 year hiatus, and all of you who continue to support have been my motivation to make better music. I CAN NEVER LET YOU DOWN! I WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND!

May you all be prosperous in the new year. Salutations! WE EXTRAGRIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
