January 30, 2018
No Comments

Nearly a month into January, and /r/trap has finally released the results their . And if there’s one takeaway from this year’s results, it’s that Boombox Cartel had a great year.


The duo was awarded the titles Best Original Track, Best Collaboration (with Graves), Best EP (Cartel), and Best Artist. They were also runner up for Best Mix, with Dia de los Muertos 2.

The rest the awards went to the usual suspects like Skrillex, Flume, KRANE, RL Grime, and OWSLA. No doubt with a new tour and album coming in 2018, What So Not will reclaim at least one these categories.

Other runners up included Porter Robinson & Madeon for Best Live Performance (though they’re not really “trap,” per se), Troyboi for Best Album, and Quality Goods for Best Label.

Check out the results below, as well as the full breakdown!
