For the last decade, trap music has taken over the landscape of hip hop. No matter what region a producer or artist is from, you will hear a trap influence in nearly every popular rap song released today. There is no mistaking however, that trap originated from Atlanta. With "Trap Jewels", we wanted to take you straight to the source, with loops designed specifically in the style of ATL-bred music. As always, we use primarily analog synthesizers (even our 808's), which give "Trap Jewels" a more present and up-front sound (compared to much of hip hop today that uses digital VST's). Our 808 sounds are crafted through modular synthesis (Korg MS-20) and will punch through your mix with ease. Trap Jewels is an exclusive Soul Surplus release, available only at the Soul Surplus store!

When the Screwed and Chopped sound hit mainstream hip hop last decade, it created instant and memorable classics from Houston artists like DJ Screw, UGK, Paul Wall and Mike Jones. This had a lasting influence that can even be heard in more modern artists like Travis Scott. In our newest sample pack, Screwed Soul, we created soulful loops and pitched them down to a unique warble. The resulting textures are unlike anything else we have ever released. We would describe it as smeary, yet also detailed. Grainy, and three-dimensional. Screwed Soul is a melodic loop pack with over 100 sounds including stems for each 4 bar loop, and one shots for each instrument (guitar, synth, bass, piano, and organ).
