My Take
Fetty Wap's arrival felt like a genuine cultural moment to me. When "Trap Queen" climbed to number two on the Hot 100 in 2014, it seemed to come from nowhere and instantly belonged everywhere. What I love is his melodic, half-sung flow that blurred the line between rapping and singing and influenced a whole wave of artists who followed. There is an unpolished, street-level authenticity to him that traces straight back to Paterson, New Jersey. His later years have been turbulent, but that one record stamped his name onto the era, and a single song that defines a moment is more than most ever achieve.
