New shit that sounds like early trap?

I really don’t like any of the new trap I hear. I know many people love it but I just hate the poppy, festival sound so much I can’t do it. Anytime people have told me something sounds like the old school trap it never actually does.

So, is there anything that actually sounds like songs like Pockets, Trap on Acid, Scylla, Bird Machine, Tell Me, Love Sosa where it’s haaaard and heavy as opposed to dreamy pop remixes? No diss to those who like the mainstream festival pop sound cuz I know many do, but I’d love recs for anything besides that lol both old and new. I got put off new trap for years cuz everytime I try I can’t find anything hard and heavy so I gave up but I don’t wanna be that guy

Why not play more originals?

I totally get why trap artists play a lot of other artists songs and remixes live, but I’ve seen some RL grime sets with almost no originals. Of the originals played, they were mostly newer stuff or basically soft (lack of better word lol) remixes of pop kinda songs.

I would love to see more originals thrown in, especially with older songs like the High Beams EP songs and old mixtape shit. I feel the same with some other artists as well, but I totally get why they play so much other shit. Does anyone have recs for recorded live sets from the modern era with rl grime playing the old shit?
