As he continues racking up plays on Soundcloud and releasing eye-catching visuals, many listeners are asking, who is Trippie Redd?
To begin, he’s part of the “new wave” that exists in today’s generation of rap. (old heads might want to exit the article)
The Ohio native is fast rising and for good reason. Seamlessly blending rock melody and hip-hop elements, Trippie is unafraid to push hip-hop’s boundaries away from its traditional roots. He has since received co-signs from Ugly God, Playboi Carti, XXXTentacion and Lil Uzi Vert – all who have been featured on XXL’s freshman cover. Trippie’s fearlessness & transparency are on full display as he can be heard leaving his emotions on the line in tracks like “Love Scars”, but also displays his savagery on records like “POLES1469”.
I’m going to make a bold prediction and say that Trippie Redd will be making XXL’s 2018 Freshman Cover.
