Trap Nation, originally AllTrapNation, is a YouTube music promoting channel with over 8.6 billion video views and 25 million subscribers. The channel, which is the largest Trap Music channel in the world, is known for uploading "Trap" Songs, whether remixes or basic work made by Trap Artists. It is currently YouTube's 32nd most subscribed and 82nd most viewed channel of all time.
Channel
The Trap Nation channel was made in September 2012 in the United States by Andre Benz, who was 15 at the time. He himself, who is a fan of Trap Music, uploads songs of Trap Music that he likes and gets written permission from the artist or the company affiliated with them for every upload so he does not get copyright infringed.
Trap Nation is similar to "NoCopyrightSounds", a music channel with over 15 million subscribers and 4 billion views. But "NCS" releases all types of Electrical Dance Music and Dubstep. However, Trap Nation only releases Trap Songs. Instead of uploading the music video of the artist or artists' songs, there is a circle in the middle and the waves to keep the beat just like NCS. He does this to avoid copyright infringement because often, the artist or company won't tolerate it if he or anyone did so. He gets his video background from Unsplash and Adobe Stock. All the background or either paid, licensed, or royalty free.
Many save his videos and use it for their own videos but there are not always downloadable links for them. As well, many of their videos get copyright infringed because they didn't ask the artist or company affiliated with the song.
Growth
His channel reached 100 thousand subscribers in 2014, 1 million in 2015, and 10 million 2016.
Due to this and getting tens of millions of video views a month, his channel is among the fastest growing of all time due to his increasing frequency of uploading mostly new and popular Trap Songs.
