It’s 2012. SoundCloud is the biggest music thing since the iPod. UZ, Baauer, Flosstradamus and HU ₵₵ I dropped the craziest songs you’ve ever heard. You show off to your friends and become an aux legend. Life is beautiful.
Before SoundCloud’s broken business model alienated artists like the smell of breath, it was the center of electronic music discovery. And the advent of trap music on the platform led to an explosion in the genre — with UZ’s fable “Trap Shit” series serving as ground zero.
Considered a pioneering trap artist, UZ is a symbol of SoundCloud’s golden age, when room producers could scrap 808s and a simple chord twist and explode all night. Just ask RL Grime, who left his mainstream dance music alias, Clockwork, after the volcanic success of his 2012 track ”Acid Trap. “
UZ is now turning the clock back to simpler days by producing a remastered digital version of the very first installment of its seminal series, “Trap Shit V1.” Why, you ask? NFTs of course — because, well, 2022.
UZ’s Quality Goods Records recently partnered with Pianity, a music NFT marketplace, to drop digital collectibles on her and the label’s most iconic song. After making the remastered “Trap Shit V1” on the platform, it sold as a non-fungible token for $ 506 before UZ made several editions available.
According to UZ, longtime fans can expect “Trap Shit” Volumes 1-5 to drop “in the next few weeks.” You can find out more HERE.
