Metro Grams Vol. 3 is a new sample pack by Smokey Loops, shaped after the sound of modern Hip Hop and Trap – Future, Metro Boomin, and DJ Spinz, to name a few trending producers.
The sound of Metro Grams Vol. 3 is dark and mellow, accompanied by bold and somehow aggressive beats. There is melody, usually subtle and intelligent, with smart progressions and variations.
There is a road with two lanes. In the first lane (in-your-face), we got the rhythm, with sharp kick & melodic sub bass combo, “bap”-esque snares, plus twisted and syncopated hi-hats acting tumultuous along the beat. Second, it comes the melody & background, placed further back in a semicircle, like a bloomed cocoon surrounding the listener. The melody is dark, organic and sometimes scary. The pads are lush and persistent, putting pressure on the beat, and make you expect something to happen. Tension.
Metro Grams Vol. 3 is for the most majestic productions, happily embracing Trap and Hip Hop with Ambient and Trip Hop. The sounds are precious, pretentious and premeditated. A dose of malice inside. Secrets.

In particular, FL Studio users are treated with royalty free projects, ready to be used and abused. Further, the MIDI files give more flexibility, allowing you to express yourself. And the WAV loops are there when needed, ready to enrich your sound, or inspire you.
Per total, a must-have for all producers (amateurs or advanced) in the zone of Trap and Hip Hop.
