Mya shares her belief that trap rap has replaced R&B and other genres on mainstream radio.
After being questioned about the differences she’s noticed in today’s music and the music she grew up listening to, Washington D.C. songstress Mya revealed that radio has transitioned from playing R&B, soul, pop, and Hip Hop to playing primarily trap rap and Hip Hop.
During her interview with Vlad TV, Mya revealed that she does welcome the various fusions in today’s music.
“I can definitely say that music has changed on the radio,” Mya said. “The stations that I grew up listening to, that were more R&B, soul, pop, and Hip Hop, are now just dominated by rap, trap, and Hip Hop. But it is what it is…Music is pretty cool. Because there’s so many different types, genres. And everyone is working together…Everyone’s sort of in a free-for-all.”
Prior to speaking on the trap rap takeover, Mya shared the details of why she chose to go independent. According to the singer, the decision stemmed from the leak of her Liberation album.
“I sort of fell into independent territory upon the accidental release/leak of my fourth major project called Liberation,” she said. “The release date was changed for maybe a third or fourth time. And there’s a territory, Japan that’s ahead of us by almost a day. So, it came out there because they didn’t get the memo. And from there, it leaked everywhere on YouTube. So that the album was shelved. And my lawyer basically told me that I had two choices, to go independent or go to court, sue for my back-end advance. And I really didn’t feel like being in court…So, I said ‘Alright, I’ll go independent.'”

Cause all the r&b singers now are rapping and some singing over trap beats. Chris Brown, Bryson tiller, ty$, Trey Songs and the list goes on and on. Nobody makes love in the bedroom anymore so no need for that r7b bedroom sound. Get some top from a bitch in a car or bathroom or at work and then keep it moving.

Trap Rap is nothing but hot garbage, clown. It’s the wackest so called music ever created. Not long from now when that Trap Rap bullshit fades into oblivion, you and all the other goofy fans are gonna feel embarrassed for listening to that nonsensical fucking noise.
Lol she’s so clueless she doesn’t even know R&B is back and better than ever. Shut your mouth and be pretty baby gurl
Do explain!
It’s all trap rap cuz they want to put all you little black boys in prison. I really hope you see that… I swear…it’s an agenda. Take it from someone who is white and in the music industry. YOU ARE BEING PROGRAMMED to think shit like drinking lean is cool. Dirty Sprite? Future doesn’t even do drugs fam. Check that shit out… You’re playing yourselves and want to blame the white man for everything? Then wake up….
Mya still looks hot, damn! I agree with her statements, though.
Hands down Mya is the prettiest R&B chick ever. Beyonce would be a average looking chick standing next to Mya
Purple dreads. Auto-tune. Lean. Drugs. Guns. Skinny jeans. Belly shirts. Ambiguity. Incoherence. Violence! = Trap
belly shirts hahahah
belly shirts hahahah
Ohh r&b was getting over with a whole lotta garbage too for years! Radio was playing a slew of 1 hit wonders who were cookie cutter,pretty face women who really couldn’t hit a note with bad dance moves or cornball dudes with open shirts and greased chest singing about love but really running thru groupies on top of the same sounding production over and over…radio itself seems to lack creativity as they goal is to sell commercial time not to rock the party
good ish, remember ALL the girl groups from the 90s…dudes too, RnB got REAL disposable. Remember the group Allure, who had Nas on their 1st single, look it up… or Changing Faces, Brownstone, Jade, Moke n Steph………?
off topic, did yall know dj vlad got his ears stomped together by them 305 dread head boys?? rick ross had vlad beaten to a pulp…they beat him like a old Virginia slave…cleaned his clock real properlike..vlad didn’t fight back..instead he tried to sue for 4 mill but only got 300k which is what ross makes in 2 shows lol..i feel bad for vlad…they played a friendly game of kick ball with his face
