Trap
Atlanta-rooted, 808-driven. Triplet flows, hi-hat ride, repeated ad-libs as hook reinforcement. Code-switch fluency across registers.
Quick facts
Parent arc · SA#19
“A genre we cannot evaluate cannot be a genre we can serve.”
Rap is the proof-of-concept arc. 20 builds. Phonology layer, audit primitives, 4 subgenre profiles (Boom Bap, Trap, Drill, Conscious Rap), Haiku critic loop, per-bar validator, 30-hit corpus calibration, public Forbidden Archive of 10 rap-specific failure modes. Every subsequent genre arc inherits this pattern.
The load-bearing primitive is Phonology + Per-Bar Validator — applied to every rap lyric the forge produces, including Trap.
Forbidden Archive · 10 failure modes
Trap inherits the full Rap Forbidden Archive. The critic loop flags any of these by canonical name.
