Trapland Pat is all smiles even when he's Mad

There’s no slowing down Trapland Pat these days. The hip-hop star has stepped up to come through with the visual treatment to his ‘Mad’ anthem and it’s all turn up feelings and vibes from start through finish.

The Florida native drops another cinematic video from his Trapnificent project and proves he’s having fun doing what he does best.

With his radiant intensity and his dexterous flows, Trapland Pat is a force of fun in South Florida trap. Determined to elevate to a worldwide audience, Pat shares the new video for “Mad,” a highlight track from his recent project, Trapnificent. The Dizzy You Violated-produced track finds Pat skating over slick Latin-flavored guitar licks and pitter pattering hi-hats as he paves the way for a bright future while staying true to his humble roots: “Hundred bands cash, I can tell you never seen that/And I don’t talk money cause my people ain’t rich yet/My people stuck in Haiti, I can’t even much fix that.” Directed by WesHype2.0, the video for “Mad” finds Pat cool as a cucumber at a kickback, toting burner-shaped liquor bottles, reclining on a couch surrounded by baddies, and even using a D’usse bottle as a microphone, which he previewed in a clip on Instagram last week.

“Mad” is the first video from Trapnificent since the project’s release last month. The follow-up to last year's Thru Da Door, Trapnificent is home to standout singles like the joyful “Trap Dance” and the sinister “D.O.A.” Pat taps frequent collaborator PepperJack Zoe, who produced his breakout hit "Big Business," to handle the bulk of the production, his creeping piano-led beats providing grounding for Pat's larger-than-life bars and hummable melodies. Trapnificent rolls out the red carpet for a tasteful selection of guests, including Sacramento street hero Mozzy, Fredo Bang, who signed Pat to his imprint Bang Biz and appears twice on the tape, NYC Winners Circle maestro Eli Fross, and Memphis' own BIG30. Trapnificent earned praise from Pitchfork, who called the project a "zippy distillation of his regional roots" and said that Pat's music is "extremely regionally and culturally specific, like so much exciting and promising new rap music."
