I know Fetty Wap is a rapper, but I also heard that there is some influence of trap in his music (there is a song called Trap Queen). What kind of genre is his music? Is there an official genre for this mix of rap and trap?

Hi. Yes, they are both helpful. Why do you ask? Especially after such a long time? I'm curious now...– user2866Commented Jul 5, 2017 at 9:48

1I thought I could write an answer, but when I saw there were already two unaccepted answers I wanted to know it would worth it... but since these answers are good to you, that's OK :-)– BebsCommented Aug 23, 2017 at 10:40

From this article http://masetv.com/fetty-wap-names-gucci-mane-as-influence-behind-his-ignorant-rb-music/ he refers to his music as "ignorant R&B"
The Awards and nominations chart below on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetty_Wap#cite_note-42 shows that he received nominations for mainly HipHop and Rap, but this doesn't mean his music can't also include other sub-genre influences(i.e. trap). Personally, being a regular listener of his music, I consider him mainly trap.

The link to the article on masetv.com seems to be dead.– user3955Commented Jan 22, 2020 at 16:43
There is always a way to create a new genre, or stretch the sub genres in general. Look at metal for example, there are too many subgenres for everything.
Fetty Wap is what I would categorize as Hiphop/Rap with trap influences, nothing more or less to keep it simple.

could you say more on how the different elements in his music come from each bucket ? for those not familiar with the artist or genre, but curious.– AngstCommented Sep 7, 2016 at 19:38
I think he's a trap rapper/singer because his latest album was named Trap & B.
