July is shaping up to be a big month for\u00a0\u01b1Z<\/a>. Not even a week after releasing his final installment of\u00a0Trap Shit<\/em>,\u00a0\u01b1Z\u00a0has delivered his newest EP,\u00a0Frontier.<\/em>\u00a0The first two tracks on\u00a0Frontier\u00a0<\/em>don’t veer far from\u00a0\u01b1Z’s classic\u00a0style; characterized by minimalistic drops and understated futuristic pads,\u00a0“<\/em>Gladiator” and “Bubbles” wouldn’t be out of place in the Trap Shit\u00a0<\/i>series.<\/p>\n

The EP hits its stride in its titular song. “Frontier” is an amalgamation of eastern-flavored bhangra samples and rough, angular bass synths that recall of an 808-infused Beats Antique track. The aptly-titled “Chainsaw” closes out the EP with snarling reese bass, crashing snares, and a powerhouse rhythm that deviates from\u00a0\u01b1Z’s signature slow grooves.<\/p>\n

In addition to\u00a0Frontier,\u00a0<\/em>the producer\u00a0has a couple more treats in store for July. \u01b1Z plans to release a BitTorrent bundle on July 21st, containing 45 tracks and other goodies such as a Trap Translator, so fans can type in his signature cryptic font. Also within\u00a0the bundle, fans can find the key to unlock the elusive “Trap Shit V10” and a contest for aspiring rappers to collaborate with him. He also will speak to fans for the very first time in a Reddit AMA. Though we’ve\u00a0officially said goodbye to Trap Shit<\/em>, \u01b1Z fans still have plenty\u00a0to anticipate.<\/p>\n
