Glo music (short for glory) is a subgenre of trap music, that stems from the production style of Lex Luger, later polished and expanded by beatmakers from various music production collectives, mainly by Dotmidorii (formerly known as IntelOnTheBeat), Mudd Gang, Fred On Em, Nard & B, DJ Nate, and the late LeekeLeek in the early-2010s.[1][not in citation given] Later, the genre has been revitalized with artists like Lil Uzi Vert drawing inspiration from earlier rappers such as Chief Keef, Future, and Speaker Knockerz (whose also produced his own music with similar components to glo) using futuristic melodies and sounds with a modern trap bounce. New wave glo refers to the newer scene/emerging styles of glo music which began developing in the early 2020s.
Other artists in the community are the ones responsible for popularizing the term ‘glo’ to be used as a retrospective term for genres with shared blaring horn/brass patterns, and spooky alien leads. these traits are all indebted to the style of Trap music pioneered by producers like Lex Luger which developed a decade prior, in the late 2000s. what separates newer glo styles from preceding waves is that drum production now is far less dense or busy, with producers going for clearer 808s and steadier hi hat programming. due to the drum programming shared by styles in the "new wave" being overall less rhythmically dense, its definitely possible to tell the difference between music with Glo Mels made in the original era, and the newer era. despite this, new wave glo isn't necessarily thought of as one style, with producers developing on Glo Mels style in starkly different ways.
Producers like Akachi have worked with a very bright, uplifting, and overall triumphant sound of glo music within the new wave. you can see a lot of those kind of beats in newer Chief Keef and Lucki releases. Producer, called Victim is credited for making glo beats featuring new wave drum programming and brass patterns, in combination in squelchy, robotic synths in line with the work of alien talk producers like Toker.
Vocally, Glo ranges from instrumental beats without vocals, to songs with either rapping with heavy autotune or mellow singing. Rapping flows, used in glo, range from aggressive to relaxed and mellow.
