We already love Ed Sheeran for his personality and amazing music, and what he did on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show last June 4, well, let’s just say Ed singing “And I get high with my baby/ I just left the mall, I’m gettin’ fly with my baby, yeaaahhh” is one of the pleasing things you’ll witness coming from the lad. Yes, if you haven’t caught on yet, he covered Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen” assisted by The Roots. And it’s amazing.
“Trap Queen” is a major anthem not just for summer, but also for all those hip hop slash rap lover out there. It surged the charts after its re-released last December 2014 and ruled it over since then. It’s probably no surprise. When the public heard this song, it’s hard not to get hook. You will love the infectious melody from Wap’s gritty vocals to trap music elements weaved into traditional rapping style. It’s new while still keeping grounded to the conventional – and we love those things.
What people also love is hearing their favorite song being covered by another favorite artist. We all know about Ed Sheeran’s fascination to rap music. He adores them and the feeling is certainly mutual. The red-haired British favorite sang “Trap Queen” and it’s nothing short of amazing. (I’ll keep on repeating that adjective to prove the point.) The song still possesses the old charm – catchy beat, infectious melody, grand hooks and the likes. But Ed Sheeran added his signature style. Toning down the chirpy tone for a more docile track, it increases the depth of the song.
This single was first released in the early months last year but did not get much recognition then. Fetty Wap’s appearances and collaborations with the music industry’s more recognized name’s such as Kanye and Fall Out Boy helped the popularity of the song.
Now the hip hop star is doing well by himself and gaining more and more popularity. And with an extra boost from Ed Sheeran, Wap is introduced more into the public. It’s a win-win from both sides. We got to love Ed more and got to know Wap better. What could possibly top this is * cross fingers * a collaboration between the two. Now that would be amazing! (Note my adjective.)
