In the early 2020s, Portland producer Rio Leyva helped define the sound of melodically driven, zoomer-friendly trap. He contributed jittery and playful energy to definitive cuts by The Kid LAROI, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Lil Tecca and viral anomaly Yeat. With tracks like Kevin Gates’ infectious “Plug Daughter 2” and Gucci Mane’s Lil Baby collaboration “Both Sides”, Leyva demonstrated that his Tinkertoy synth motifs and ricocheting hi-hats can complement the sensibility of more seasoned street-rap voices.
