The Trapsoman Tape is a Reggae, Dancehall, Afro and Hip-hop fused audio introduction of a place i have lived most of my life. Expressing my thoughts and mind set in this project has been full of hard work, making it the first piece of my puzzle to my listeners and fans, to anticipate what biger story comes next with regards to the street and youth. Trappsoman is a world i have created, more like a state of mind, to bring out my point of view on the lifestyle and reality of the hoods in Dansoman based on experiences i face on daily basis. Dansoman may sound like one of the most peaceful towns in Accra, but vices have made this zone it's rest place. It's a town full of ganagsters who live on the persistent thought of making easy money through any means necessary. Every Kind of character can be found in this area and with that, Trapsoman sounds more like an arrangement of different audio episodes in a seasonal.
The Blueprint Ep was a tape Iquan released in 2020. This Tape, with its apparent name, was the foundation of his career as an official artist. The team behind this Tape, were Cheezy Cromie, Yaw Black and Calviin. These were the engineers Iquan worked with while developing the Tape. Cheezy and Yaw Black were a duo when it came to engineering while Calviin had it all going by himself. Iquan featured Skulboi DC in This Life, the first song on the Tape. The only feature on the Tape to be clear. This song was a masterpiece in 2020 at the time when he was at Kumasi
