Trap Nation (US)

Trap Nation is an American music promoter that is primarily known for releasing electronic music on its YouTube channel.

Trap Nation was founded in September 2012 by Andre Willem Benz when he was 15 years old. Alongside Trap Nation, Benz expanded into creating other channels, the first of which, Chill Nation, was founded in February 2014. The channels have since gone on to be managed by other curators, employed by The Nations, a company which encompasses all the channels and Lowly Palace. As of April 2020, Benz still runs the Trap Nation channel himself alongside another curator named Jean. By the end of 2016, Trap Nation was included in the ten fastest-growing YouTube channels by Tubefilter, receiving an average of 70 million new plays a week. As of 2020, Trap Nation has more than 28 million subscribers and averages 560,000 new subscribers a month as of 2018.
