It’s been a while since we had a Trap song on Monstercat, and while some may have enjoyed the absence, I have eagerly awaited another song. Nights in Bangalore Pt. 2 is my favorite Trap song to date, and one of my favorite songs released on Monstercat. So, does What’s Going On live up to it’s predecessor? Short answer, yes. Long answer, the son features great vocals from Isabel Higuero, a vocalist I’ve never heard of myself but I want to hear more of. The vocals are a little bit short, however, and I would have liked a bit more of it. Intro and buildup are great, and do a good job in hyping the listener up. The drop, much like NIB pt. 2, is pretty far from the generic Trap, and is a welcome difference. I find myself a fan of aforementioned generic Trap, but such songs are not able to achieve the amount of depth that What’s Going On does. Personally, I don’t find it quite as good as NIB pt. 2, but it’s very damn close, and a song I will not be forgetting anytime soon.

TL;DR A worthy addition to Monstercat’s limited Trap library, which does a great job in captivating the listener and creating a very memorable experience.
