Best Trap Metal / Scream Rap Artists
Trap Metal, also known as Scream Rap is a genre of music that combines Trap Rap with some elements of Heavy Metal. Most of the time it's depressing Trap Rap with influences either from nu-metal, industrial metal or sometimes even death metal. Characteristics include heavy bass, screaming, rapping, depressing yet aggressive beats and sometimes electric guitars.
Scar is definitely the best ever. He was one of the first out there, and honestly, his music just bangs. "6 Feet" is definitely my favorite.
He can rap and scream at the same time, and his clothing and tattoos are dope.
Scarlxrd is amazing. His rapping is amazing, but even more amazing are his screams. His beats are also amazing and great for headbanging. He was in a band that combined hardcore punk with heavy metal (with a tiny bit of rap in the mix) before becoming a rapper.
Ghostemane was in a hardcore punk band before he became a rapper, and I know hardcore is a punk genre. He really likes a lot of heavy metal, especially some of the more extreme genres. He has sampled songs by Metallica, Pantera, Venom, and System of a Down. (Although for System of a Down, some of their songs are more hard rock or alternative.) His beats are usually depressing or spooky, but some are aggressive, akin to typical trap metal/screamo rap beats.
His music is just so diverse, and Ghostemane is also a unique and inspiring person.
Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy (January 23, 1998 - June 18, 2018), known professionally as XXXTentacion, and often referred to as X, was an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and criminal. He puts great emotion into his songs that help make them relatable. He also is definitely one of the best scream rappers out there and puts pure rage into some of his songs.
Most of his songs are emo hip-hop or cloud hip-hop (with some influences from grunge and indie rock), but many of his older songs are scream rap/trap metal.
Stomps all other artists on this list with the possible exclusion of Ghostemane. Lyrically and vocally, Zilla is incredibly on point, and when combined with SosMula making City Morgue, every song is for sure going to be a banger.
Together with SosMula, they are a power team and complement each other very well. I love his personality too.
He is the perfect mix of nu-metal and rap.
AFOURTEEN is in a ton of scream rap songs, whether it be a feature or his own song. Here are some songs that he is included in: "YOUR GONNA DIE IN THIS CAR," "Hypothermia," "Love Song," etc. The list goes on and on, and overall he's just a great artist.
Bones basically kickstarted this whole "Sad Rap" genre by taking influences from emo, alternative, and metal and incorporating them into a mostly spooky trap rap style of music. While most of the songs that Bones has made are more emo hip-hop or cloud rap, some of his songs are trap metal or scream rap.
Ok, now we're starting to go to the underground of this genre. (Well, this genre is underground even though XXXTentacion managed to get into the mainstream.) Some of his songs are more depressing, and some of his songs are more angry.
His songs don't make mosh pits, they make suicide pits.
The Newcomers
Scream rap female artist who produces all her tracks and makes sick horror visuals. Her life story is also one to check out too, she lives with dissociative identity disorder.
Kinda like Tom MacDonald the Canadian singer, but more hardcore. He is an Eagle Scout who decided to make a street gang meant to be more of a brotherhood, and his so-called controversial art helped me so much.
He makes really special music.
Incredible artist. I have so much respect for him. Not only does he dive into the deeper things that most are afraid to talk about, but he also puts his whole heart into his music.

I just love everything about him and his music. But the genre of the voting doesn't really fit. I just couldn't not vote for him.
A great soul who passed by overdose with inspirational music from the heart.
Rico Nasty's music is great and it's so raw. Her song "Rage" is my favorite, so y'all should go listen to it. Better yet, just listen to the whole Nasty album, babies.
Swerzie is a good trap metal rapper, but more pushed to the side and not known that much at all.
