Two well-known Italian 'trappers', a
type of rapper, were arrested Sunday for a suspected racially
motivated attack on a Nigerian factory worker near Monza.
The pair, whose stage names are Jordan and Traffik, allegedly
stole the 41-year-old's bike and backpack at the rail station at
Carnate.
They were allegedly armed with knives and allegedly shouted at
the victim "we want to kill you because you are black", police
said.
Brianza-born Jordan, 25, is known to police for his statements
and threats against the police and several TV personalities,
police said.
Traffik, a 26-year-old Roman, has a criminal record for robbery
and other petty crimes.
They were arrested for robbery aggravated by the use of weapons
and racial discrimination.
Trap is a subgenre of hip hop music that originated in the
Southern United States during the early 2000s.
The genre gets its name from the Atlanta slang word "trap", a
house used exclusively to sell drugs.
