Who Is Behind Trap Nation? What Happened To The Nation? Trap Nation, a popular YouTube channel, was removed off the platform after it was accused of hacking, DDoSing, and spreading malware.
For fans looking for good beats and tunes, Trap Nation, a YouTube channel, was the go-to option. The channel, however, is no longer available if you search for it today.
The YouTube channel was terminated after some troubles.
According to sources, the Channel’s inventor, Andre Willem, was involved in some evil acts.
Under the banner of The Nations, it has also led to spin-off channels including House Nation, Bass Nation, Chill Nation and Rap Nation, all with a similar curatorial focus for their genres.
Benz is a keynote speaker at Music Ally’s Sandbox Summit NYC conference in New York this April, and talked to us ahead of the event about how The Nations is evolving.
He says that the most exciting thing in the last year has been “watching the growth of a YouTube network transform into a recognisable brand throughout several different areas of music” – citing live, a record label and artist development in particular.
The label is independent imprint Lowly Palace, although signing artists hasn’t distracted The Nations from deepening its partnerships with established labels too.
“Labels have adapted to learn that YouTube is now a widely accepted platform to push music to and can organically break artists without outside key-holders that control playlists and the SEO,” says Benz.
“Artists and labels have really tried to use our platforms in the last two years to execute marketing campaigns that involve video content. Usually, we say no to that though,” he added.
YouTube may have been the launchpad that helped Benz to build the various Nation brands, but it’s far from the only platform that his company is operating on.
Trap Nation’s Spotify account has more than 184,000 followers, for example, while its flagship playlist has more than 1.8 million people following it. There are also more than 344,000 followers on Facebook and 462,000 on Instagram.
