Robocop stunna shades on to hide my sadness at Traxamillion's death. Now
there was a producer who knew how to crank out
Slap Tremendos, Slap Anthemos and Slap Classicos. Trax's solo shit was underrated too because he had songs like
808 In It which shoulda gone Slapinum With No Features™ (edit: or
maybe not lolz. Still love this song tho.)
Traxamillion - 808 In It
(From Ridin' High mixtape; 2007)
Traxamillion needs to go down in history as the only producer to make a legitimately great Rap song with Travis Barker on percussion. In fact,
808 Re-Drum might have invented Swag-Slap and should have been a Blog-Rap hit.

Fly like a Pterodactyl, Traxamillion's off to a higher plane. Rest easy in the Baytrix, bruv.
RIP to the cuddy. amazing banger Traxamillion produced earlier this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsMhenbNtjE
ReplyDeletelesser known tidbit of his history is that before he came into his own as Traxamillion in the hyphy era, he actually started out as a teenage rapper in a jazzy underground group called Lackadaisical associated with The Dereliks & Project Blowed. his name back then was Sultan Banks, heres a reissue of their '95 tape: https://www.discogs.com/release/15651963-Lackadaisical-Shameless-Self-Promotion
one time I was kicking it with P.E.A.C.E. and tried to convince him to work with Traxamillion to switch it up. would have been tight.

ReplyDeleteNoz, Fuck! I always thought that beat was very Swag-Slap 😁
ReplyDeletePyrex, that Big D track is wild. Where's the Chaise Lounge level hype for that, internet?
