But, the melody lines and chord stabs included with the pack are dripping with inspiration too!

But if you listen to artists like Drake, Ty Dolla $ign or Big Sean—you’ll see that trap can be super soulful, especially when combined with R&B-inspired parts.
Laniakea Sounds’ Trap Soul & Melodic R&B 2 embodies this side of trap precisely with sensual synths, soulful keys, R&B vocal chops and low key trap drums.
