Is trap still soul’s distant cousin or its new blood?

Yo, about to spice up my weekend playlist with some classic soul vibes but I hear trap beats popping up in R&B too lately. Does mixing those two kill the warmth of old school soul or does it actually bring a fresh twist that keeps the genre alive? Curious if anyone else feels like this is a smooth or sketchy crossover. How y’all see it?
