### No. 1 in [Trap](https://waxonia.com/genre/trap/)

The album that named it. T.I. was describing a place — the trap house — and the word ended up describing a drum pattern instead.

## Analysis

8 sections, no single moment the energy jumps to.

- **Dynamic range:** 4.5 dB — compressed hard — very little between the quiet and the loud
- **Length:** 4:00

- `0:00` A · **peak**, sung — sits at the top of this record's range — playing: drums, bass, vocals
- `0:29` A · **steady** (bar 13), sung — holding a level — the groove, neither rising nor falling — playing: drums, bass, vocals
- `1:17` A · **peak** (bar 34), sung — sits at the top of this record's range — playing: drums, bass, vocals
- `1:45` A · **breakdown** (bar 46), sung — energy falling away mid-record, percussion thinning — playing: drums, bass, vocals
- `2:33` A · **peak** (bar 66), sung — sits at the top of this record's range — playing: drums, bass, vocals
- `3:00` B · **breakdown** (bar 78), sung — energy falling away mid-record, percussion thinning — playing: vocals
- `3:10` B · **lift** (bar 82), sung — a short rise that does not resolve — a fill or a transition, not a build — playing: bass, vocals
- `3:50` C · **outro** (bar 99), instrumental — the closing fall — playing: bass

**What is playing.** Separated into parts by a source-separation model, so each lane is the instrument it names.

- **drums:** the drum kit, separated from the mix
- **bass:** the bass part, separated from the mix
- **vocals:** the voice, separated from the mix
- **other:** everything else — synths, guitars, keys, strings

Measured from the YouTube master on 2026-08-29. Section labels describe how the energy
moves, not musical form. Anything we were not confident enough to state is omitted
rather than hedged.
