The Bang Biz/Alamo-Signed South Florida Stunner is Done Playing Games in Latest Video from Trapnificent

Critical Praise:

“He’s subtly melodic and catchy even outside of the hook. He does the beat justice by making what he grew up with into something new.” – Pitchfork

“”Big Business is the #18 Best Rap Song of 2021–If “Big Business” is any indication, Trapland Pat may well become South Florida’s next rap auteur. In less than two minutes, he deftly connects Broward County’s disparate styles, vibrating at his own zany frequency.” – Passion Of The Weiss

“10 New Miami Rappers To Watch…Trapland Pat is unlike any other act to come out of South Florida. Since 2019, Pat has consistently delivered grimy bars and smooth cadences over an array of trap beats. Over the past three years, the Deerfield Beach native has been feeding his growing fanbase with singles like “Emergency” and “Dealings,” along with four projects: Exit 41, Pak Man, Interstate Baby, and 2020 Vision. (The last two albums were released via Fredo Bang’s imprint Bang Biz Productions/Create Music Group.) In 2021, Trapland Pat dropped his latest project, Thru Da Door, via Bang Biz, featuring collaborations with Kuttem Reese and Members Only rapper Kid Trunks. He’s still pushing his latest single, ‘Boondocks,”‘which dropped last month. However, on Instagram, Pat celebrated the anniversary of his song ‘Big Business’ and teased a potential remix coming later this year.” – Miami New Times

“Over the course of the last few weeks perhaps no one else has hit the scene as hard as Pat…The Florida rapper raps with wide-eyed astonishment, seemingly at his own bars sometimes which become as animated as his facial expressions. To be honest, the sheer confidence Trapland Pat employs on the track here just makes you want to pay attention or risk missing out on something.” – ELEVATOR

“Trapland Pat makes pretty music.” – Stereogum

The Video:

With his radiant intensity and his dexterous flows, Trapland Pat is a force of fun in South Florida trap. Determined to elevate to a worldwide audience, Pat shares the new video for “Mad,” a highlight track from his recent project, Trapnificent. The Dizzy You Violated-produced track finds Pat skating over slick Latin-flavored guitar licks and pitter pattering hi-hats as he paves the way for a bright future while staying true to his humble roots: “Hundred bands cash, I can tell you never seen that/And I don’t talk money cause my people ain’t rich yet/My people stuck in Haiti, I can’t even much fix that.” Directed by WesHype2.0, the video for “Mad” finds Pat cool as a cucumber at a kickback, toting burner-shaped liquor bottles, reclining on a couch surrounded by baddies, and even using a D’usse bottle as a microphone, which he previewed in a clip on Instagram last week.

“Mad” is the first video from Trapnificent since the project’s release last month. The follow-up to last year’s Thru Da Door, Trapnificent is home to standout singles like the joyful “Trap Dance” and the sinister “D.O.A.” Pat taps frequent collaborator PepperJack Zoe, who produced his breakout hit “Big Business,” to handle the bulk of the production, his creeping piano-led beats providing grounding for Pat’s larger-than-life bars and hummable melodies. Trapnificent rolls out the red carpet for a tasteful selection of guests, including Sacramento street hero Mozzy, Fredo Bang, who signed Pat to his imprint Bang Biz and appears twice on the tape, NYC Winners Circle maestro Eli Fross, and Memphis’ own BIG30. Trapnificent earned praise from Pitchfork, who called the project a “zippy distillation of his regional roots” and said that Pat’s music is “extremely regionally and culturally specific, like so much exciting and promising new rap music.”

Ready to bring his searing street raps to a larger audience, Trapland Pat has the goods to be Broward County’s next big star. It’s about to be a Trapnificent summer.
