Milwaukee artist Baby J Trappnazz is a name that is ringing bells within the indie music scene. His style is of a Drill music nature but he prides himself on also being able to utilize metaphors and create trends without losing his street credibility. Additionally, he’s got a knack for gracing stages and putting on a spirited live show. To introduce him to readers, his team sent over his latest single to the site. The song is called “Winnin” and it features fellow rapper Icewear Vezzo.
The production here is solid. The sunken base, slight secondary elements, mid-range tempo, and flashy vibe work admirably together. The hook is the star of the track. The delivery has character to it and the lyrics are super catchy. Baby J does a noteworthy job of detailing the celebratory nature of the title. The verses are adequate. Both artists draw upon distinctive flows, steady wordplay, and animated rhymes. They continue highlighting their victories but in a way that makes the listener happy for them instead of taking it as bragging. Which is a fine line to juggle. All in all, this is a valid selection. Definitely gives viral Reels or TikTok energy.
**My Two Cents: Slowly but surely I am coming to appreciate a few of the artists within the Drill music scene. Baby J Trappnazz definitely makes that list. He’s got a sound that is all his own and his pen is pretty respectable too. I would like to hear him take on some non-street style tracks to get a feel for his versatility. But “Winnin” makes a good first impression for sure. Drop me a line in the comments section if you’re messing with the single too. -MinM
