"Trap Queen" is the debut single by American rapper Fetty Wap from his self-titled debut album (2015). Following its online premiere in March 2014, it was released independently on April 22, 2014 before being re-released in conjunction with 300 Entertainment on December 15, 2014. The song was well received by critics who praised the vocals and production for being cheery and infectious. In 2015, "Trap Queen" became Fetty Wap's first entry on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and was a sleeper hit which ultimately went on to be a top ten hit, peaking at number 2; the song spent 25 consecutive weeks in the top-10. "Trap Queen" has peaked within the top ten of the charts in Denmark and the United Kingdom. An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Nitt Da Gritt, was released on his YouTube page that features Wap and his girlfriend partying at their apartment. He first performed the song on television at the 2015 MTV Movie Awards with Fall Out Boy and would make later appearances at ''The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon'', ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'', ''Nick Cannon Presents Wild 'n Out'' and the BET Awards 2015 to perform the song. ==Background and release== Fetty Wap, a native of Paterson, New Jersey, had been rapping and recording music locally as a member of the Remy Boyz 1738 rap troupe, which also included P-Dice and Montana "Monty" Buckz. Wap conceived "Trap Queen" in late 2013 and recorded the song the following March after hearing what would become its backing track, which had been produced by Tony Fadd of the Paterson-based RGF Productions. It was the first recording on which Wap had sung, as he had been anxious to try "something different".〔 The original studio recording consisted of three sung verses that Wap had freestyled in the melody he had written.〔〔 The recording was uploaded to SoundCloud shortly after in March 2014, where it soon began amassing plays.〔 An extended version of the initial recording, featuring an additional spoken outro, was included on Wap's ''Up Next'' mixtape, which was initially sold locally in Paterson and later released online.〔 This version of the song was also independently released on April 22, 2014 as a standalone digital single under Goodfella4life Entertainment. Although Wap had had a feeling that "Trap Queen" was a potential hit even before recording the song, particularly when he first heard the beat,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fetty Wap - 2015 SXSW Event Schedule )〕 his suspicions that it could reach an audience outside his own region were confirmed later as he noticed its growing popularity on social media websites like Twitter and Instagram; meanwhile, its play count on SoundCloud had increased to over a million within its first months online. To take advantage of the increased attention the song was receiving, a revised version was subsequently made for radio which shortened the total runtime and included an additional rapped verse following the first iteration of the chorus.〔 In November 2014, Wap and RGF Productions partnered with Lyor Cohen's Atlantic Records-distributed label 300 Entertainment to give "Trap Queen" a full-fledged commercial release.〔 The two labels jointly issued the most recent edit of the single to digital retailers on December 15, 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trap Queen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
