Since 2023, he’s been leveling up fast, opening for rap icons like Tony Yayo, D12, Lil Pump, Millyz, and Merkules. But he’s not just rocking mics—he’s running moves behind the scenes too.

He’s the CEO of Only Net Entertainment, an indie label and booking agency that’s been working with heavy hitters like Roney, Young Smoke, Road Runner, and even OGs like Choclair. Recently, he helped close out a wild tour with YBN, showing the industry he’s not just here to rap—he’s here to boss up.

This April, Big Swi$h is launching his new podcast, FROMYOURENDZ, where he’ll be dropping real talk about the music game from both sides—the booth and the boardroom. “Having knowledge behind and in the front lines in the music industry is your gateway to success,” he says—and trust, he’s living proof.

What’s next? Big Swi$h kicks off a U.S. tour starting May 1st in NYC at the Power 105.1 Showcase, with more stateside shows lined up.

From rap stages to CEO tables, podcasts to power moves—Big Swi$h isn’t just an artist, he’s a brand. And in 2025, he’s making it loud and clear: it’s all Only Net.

 From Freestyles to Fire Tracks: How Arshae Is Carving Her Path in Hip-Hop  https://deathrowrecords.ca/from-freestyles-to-fire-tracks-how-arshae-is-carving-her-path-in-hip-hop-lyric-mic-drop-performance/ https://deathrowrecords.ca/from-freestyles-to-fire-tracks-how-arshae-is-carving-her-path-in-hip-hop-lyric-mic-drop-performance/#respond Sun, 13 Apr 2025 23:58:10 +0000 https://deathrowrecords.ca/?p=650 Lyric Mic Drop Performance:

 

In the gritty trenches of the underground hip-hop scene, where only the most committed rise, Arshae is quietly building a movement—one heartfelt verse at a time. Her story isn’t about overnight fame or viral gimmicks; it’s about relentless hustle, raw emotion, and a deep love for the craft that bleeds through every bar. 

The Bedroom Studio That Built a Dream 

Arshae isn’t just playing around when she says she writes every day. With a small studio setup right in her bedroom, the grind is literally within arm’s reach. It’s where the seeds of her music are planted—rough drafts, freestyles, and honest moments all coming to life in a space that’s as personal as her lyrics. But she doesn’t stop there. Once a week, she steps into the real studio with industry engineer Jeff Windle, whose credits include Moneybagg Yo, Meek Mill, and Finesse2Tymes. He’s not just mixing her vocals—he’s pushing her, refining her, helping Arshae elevate her sound to professional, radio-ready levels. 

He’s helped me uncover my sound,” Arshae says. “It’s always from the heart—whether it’s tragedy, a breakup, family struggles, or my healing journey. It’s all real. All raw.” 

Real Life, Real Bars 

What makes Arshae’s music hit different is the fact that it means something. There’s no pretending, no copying the next wave. Each track is born from lived experience—grief, growth, love, and finding purpose. That emotional honesty is exactly why her buzz is growing. She’s not chasing trends—she’s creating space for authenticity. 

Industry Eyes Are Watching 

The industry is beginning to notice. Heavy hitters like QC DJs, 600 Breezy, and DDG have already shown love on social media, validating her grind and hinting at what’s to come. Add in connections with producers like XO, with a joint track dropping soon, and it’s clear that Arshae is positioning herself for something major. 

The Balancing Act 

But what makes her journey even more impressive? She’s doing it all while juggling college and being the oldest sibling in her family. The pressure is real—but so is her drive. 

“Committing to music while handling everything else isn’t the easiest,” she admits. “But it gets done.” 

And that right there is what separates artists from dreamers. Arshae isn’t waiting for the perfect moment—she’s creating it. Grinding daily, perfecting her sound, and building a catalog that’s as motivational as it is magnetic. 

What’s Next? 

With momentum picking up and her story unfolding in real time, Arshae is walking proof that authenticity still has a place in hip-hop. She’s not just carving her own lane—she’s paving the way for others who dare to be real, who refuse to conform, and who know that their voice matters. 

So if you haven’t tuned in yet, you might want to get familiar now. Because from freestyles to fire tracks, Arshae is turning passion into power—and the industry is listening.

The Real J.T.W. Drops His Most Controversial Song Yet: “ONE SIDED SYSTEM” https://deathrowrecords.ca/the-real-j-t-w-drops-his-most-controversial-song-yet-one-sided-system/ https://deathrowrecords.ca/the-real-j-t-w-drops-his-most-controversial-song-yet-one-sided-system/#respond Fri, 28 Mar 2025 06:11:28 +0000 https://deathrowrecords.ca/?p=644 The Real J.T.W. (born March 2, 1993) is a musician, songwriter, and outspoken figure known for his raw honesty and willingness to address difficult topics. Raised in downtown Omaha, Nebraska, he faced many challenges growing up but found solace in music. At just 12 years old, he began writing music as a form of therapy. Over time, music became a lifeline—an outlet to share his experiences and bring awareness to real-life struggles. His lyrics often center around mental health, addiction, depression, and other societal issues.

With his latest release, “ONE SIDED SYSTEM,” produced by Soulburnin Records,  The Real J.T.W. delivers what may be his most provocative track to date. The song unapologetically explores the different ways men and women are perceived and treated by society. Some of the lyrics are admittedly blunt and explicit, but they reflect an honest attempt to spark deeper conversations.

In the first verse, he delivers the controversial line:
“You speak tall when your heads down.”
This lyric stirred strong reactions, with many interpreting it as offensive. However, J.T.W. argues that the line holds a deeper meaning—highlighting how the system is biased and unfairly tilted to one side.

Moving into the second verse, he confronts yet another sensitive perspective, one that has also received criticism. In his words:
“I ain’t hating on women, I’m just stating facts.”
Here, he challenges listeners to look past initial judgments and examine the song’s deeper message: that society often takes one side of a story without seeking full context or truth.

J.T.W. crafted this track with intention. It wasn’t created for shock value—it was carefully constructed to challenge listeners and make them think. His goal is to spark change and encourage people to view issues from multiple perspectives.

As he’s said in the past, and continues to stand by:
“I bleed. You bleed. We all bleed. We the same, Can’t you see.”The Real J.T.W.

This quote encapsulates the spirit of the song and his broader message. No matter our background, gender, or race, we all deserve to be seen and heard equally. “ONE SIDED SYSTEM” isn’t just a song—it’s a statement, a call to reevaluate the way we treat and judge each other.

To fully grasp the meaning and message of the track, it’s essential to listen to it in its entirety.

V-LO The Maestro: Chart-Topping Artist, Award-Winning Filmmaker, and LECBU Ambassador Redefines the Modern Renaissance Man https://deathrowrecords.ca/v-lo-the-maestro-modern-renaissance-man/ https://deathrowrecords.ca/v-lo-the-maestro-modern-renaissance-man/#respond Sun, 23 Mar 2025 23:13:05 +0000 https://deathrowrecords.ca/?p=638 In a world where creative versatility is often sought but rarely mastered, Vernon “V-LO The Maestro” Wiggins stands as a bold exception. An award-winning filmmaker, Top 100 Apple Music-charting hip-hop artist, respected actor, philanthropist, and now an academic with a doctorate from LECBU — V-LO The Maestro isn’t just taking the entertainment industry by storm; he’s creating a new blueprint for what a modern multi-hyphenate can be.

And he’s doing it with heart, intelligence, and unmatched work ethic.


A Cinematic Breakthrough: 18 Awards and Counting for Problematic Intentions

V-LO The Maestro

The buzz surrounding Problematic Intentions, V-LO’s genre-defying psychological thriller, has officially turned into a roar. With 18 film awards under its belt, this haunting tale set in Tigerville, Louisiana, has become a breakout success — both critically and commercially.

The premiere at the Delta Grand Theatre in Opelousas was a defining moment. The screening sold out, packed with an energized hometown crowd who erupted with cheers, claps, and standing ovations.

“It was an incredible feeling to see the community come out and support the film with such enthusiasm,” V-LO said. “The crowd was electrically charged. It’s validating as an artist to connect with your audience like that.”

In the film, V-LO The Maestro plays Devil Face, a deeply layered character pushed to darkness by the weight of betrayal and psychological trauma. It’s a standout role, performed alongside a stellar cast including Zunitria Butler, Leah Franklin, Jairus Milton, Devin Steward, Charline Rubin, Jay Ashton, and Craig Malveaux III. Under the direction of Georgi Hernandez, the project evolved from a vision into an award-winning cinematic experience that continues to make waves across the country.


“Critical” Acclaim: 4 Awards for a Music Video Masterpiece

As if 18 awards for his film weren’t enough, V-LO’s hit music video “Critical” featuring Pryme Tyme has also racked up four prestigious music video awards in 2025. This isn’t just a video—it’s a visual statement of artistic intention.

Directed with a cinematic lens and fused with raw lyricism, “Critical” stands as a milestone in visual storytelling within hip-hop. It has proven V-LO The Maestro’s mastery of merging musical and cinematic narratives—a signature strength that now defines his brand.

Top 100 Charting Artist with Collaborations That Count

V-LO The Maestro

Long before he was collecting trophies for films, V-LO was making noise in the music world. With four acclaimed studio albums—The Vision, The Vision 2: Remastered & Reloaded, The Vision 3, and The Vision 4—he’s etched his name into the hip-hop landscape.

His music, characterized by honest storytelling and melodic grit, has attracted the attention of major industry names. Collaborations with Kevin Gates, Young Buck, Project Pat, and Just Brittany have added star power to a discography already rich in depth.

One standout is “Tipsy” with Kevin Gates, a high-energy track that blends club vibes with relatable themes. And “Whoa Town Anthem Pt. 2” quickly went viral, amassing over 1 million views on YouTube and cementing V-LO as a voice of his Louisiana hometown.


Executive Producer, Actor, Visionary

What sets V-LO The Maestro apart is not just that he stars in his films—but that he produces them too. As the executive producer of Problematic Intentions, he shaped every aspect of production, from storyline development to casting and marketing.

“Being a producer means setting the tone from the very beginning,” he explains. “I believe in building winners, and I wanted everyone involved in this film to feel like one.”

The duality of acting and producing doesn’t intimidate V-LO—it fuels him. This dynamic control allows him to inject personal vision into every frame, transforming ideas into award-winning realities.


Ambassador for LECBU and Doctorate Achiever

In December, V-LO The Maestro added another prestigious title to his name: Doctor of Humanities from LECBU. Shortly after, he was named LECBU’s official Ambassador, further proving that his influence stretches far beyond entertainment.

“Education has always been vitally important to me,” he shared. “I’m proud to show young people that they can pursue academic excellence without sacrificing their creative passions.”

This isn’t lip service. V-LO actively uses his platform to promote education, intellectual growth, and self-betterment. His story exemplifies how art, academia, and community service can be seamlessly intertwined.


What’s Next: New Projects, New Music, and A Bigger Vision

When asked about the future, V-LO doesn’t hesitate.

“I’m always working on new ideas and projects across all the creative sectors—films, albums, business ventures, you name it. I plan on continuing to push my boundaries and showing the world everything I can do.”

His upcoming work includes a new film in development, along with a fresh batch of music. And if history has taught us anything, it’s that any V-LO project will be multi-dimensional, emotionally resonant, and impossible to ignore.

Bigg Dame Turns the Morning After Into a Hip-Hop Spectacle with Last Night https://deathrowrecords.ca/bigg-dame-last-night/ Tue, 18 Mar 2025 14:45:14 +0000 https://deathrowrecords.ca/?p=626 Bigg Dame’s latest release, Last Night, isn’t just another party anthem—it’s a wild, cinematic ride through the foggy haze of the morning after. The song captures that universally awkward yet hilarious experience of waking up after a night of heavy partying and trying to retrace the steps that led to this exact moment. With sharp storytelling, an infectious beat, and a dose of unfiltered humor, Last Night instantly pulls listeners into its disoriented yet all-too-relatable world.

Dame pulls no punches in painting this scenario. “Sometimes you have a hangover, you might still be a lil tipsy, your vision is still trying to make sense of what’s in front of you, and you might wake up next to somebody you left the club with and don’t even know how y’all got back,” he explains. The song thrives on this kind of raw, candid energy, making it feel less like a track and more like a collective memory—something we’ve all been through at least once.

Beyond the music, the Last Night visual component elevates the entire experience. The accompanying music video is a full-fledged spectacle, meticulously capturing the song’s themes of confusion, mystery, and unintended comedy. Dame worked closely with the director to bring his vision to life. “Me and the director worked hand in hand on this project. Any idea I had or that he had, we just ran with it—no disagreements at all,” he shares. This seamless collaboration resulted in a video that feels like a scene straight out of a dark comedy—equal parts stylish, chaotic, and downright unpredictable.

Every shot in the video plays into the morning-after mayhem. Mysterious items scattered across the room, cryptic text messages, and unexpected surprises make the viewer feel like they’re piecing together the night’s events alongside Dame himself. The cinematography mimics that post-party haze with blurred transitions, slow-motion sequences, and warped perspectives, mirroring the struggle to connect fragmented memories. From humorous jump cuts to intense close-ups, the video is an extension of the song’s chaotic energy.

What sets Last Night apart from the usual party records is its authenticity. Dame isn’t just making music—he’s telling real-life stories that resonate. “It’s one of the MANY stories that I have had throughout my life, with many more experiences to come,” he says. It’s this kind of transparency that allows fans to connect with his music on a deeper level.

The song’s production further amplifies its immersive quality. The beat carries an eerie, almost cinematic vibe that Dame describes as “mysterious, like in movies when it’s quiet and intense music starts to build up.” This tension-building approach keeps listeners engaged, reflecting the way the morning after often feels like a slow unraveling of last night’s events. The deep bass, echoing synths, and pulsating rhythm perfectly complement Dame’s effortless delivery, making the track as sonically compelling as it is narratively gripping.

How Big Dame Delivers A Party Anthem with Substance

While Last Night is undeniably a high-energy track, it also carries an underlying message. Dame taps into the universal experience of post-party reflection, where humor and caution collide. “We’ve all been there once or twice or even multiple times,” he acknowledges. “Just chalk it up as a memory and be mindful when you are out and about drinking, partying, and having fun.”

This self-awareness adds an extra layer to the song. Rather than glorifying reckless nights out, Last Night embraces the reality of fun mixed with occasional regret, urging listeners to laugh at the absurdity of their own experiences while also staying aware of their choices. It’s an anthem for partygoers, but it’s also a reminder that every wild night comes with a morning after.

What’s Next for Bigg Dame?

With Last Night, Bigg Dame proves he’s not just another rapper dropping club bangers—he’s a storyteller, a visionary, and an artist with an undeniable ability to turn everyday moments into unforgettable tracks. His knack for blending humor, raw emotion, and cinematic execution ensures that his music stands out in a crowded industry.

Looking ahead, Dame hints at a possible sequel or prequel to Last Night, depending on fan demand. His ability to expand a single concept into an entire saga speaks to his creative depth and willingness to push storytelling in hip-hop further. Fans can expect more of the same vivid narratives, infectious beats, and engaging visuals as he continues to build his legacy.

With this latest release, Bigg Dame makes one thing clear—he’s here to entertain, to keep it real, and to ensure that we all have a soundtrack for those mornings when we wake up, look around, and say, “What the hell happened last night?”

Punk Rock Rebels Pancreatic Cancer Set to Release New Album “Yelling ‘Freebird!’ at Funerals” https://deathrowrecords.ca/punk-rock-rebels-pancreatic-cancer-set-to-release-new-album-yelling-freebird-at-funerals/ Sun, 16 Mar 2025 05:28:46 +0000 https://deathrowrecords.ca/?p=621 A Deep Dive Into the Band, Their Wild Past, and Their Unfiltered Music

Who is Pancreatic Cancer and Why Are They Dropping an Album?

Pancreatic Cancer isn’t just a name that makes you do a double take—it’s the brainchild of punk veterans who have spent years pushing boundaries. The band, a reunion of sorts, features Sarah Herrera (formerly of Exploited Cocks) alongside Jimmy from Exploited Cocks and Sarah’s brother, Matt, on drums. With a history of playing in controversial and humorously named bands like Taking It In The Rear From John Holmes and RAPE!, Sarah’s musical career has been anything but ordinary.

Now, Pancreatic Cancer is gearing up to release Yelling “Freebird!” at Funerals, a chaotic, irreverent punk album expected sometime this month. Featuring 11 raw, unfiltered tracks, this album promises to be a wild ride through Herrera’s twisted humor, deep-cut pop culture references, and social commentary.


Inside the Madness: A Track-by-Track Breakdown

The album is a mix of satire, personal confessions, and punk absurdity. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the standout tracks:

  • Aloha Spicoli – A love letter to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with lyrics stitched together from Herrera’s favorite quotes from the movie.

  • Drunk In The Studio (There May Have Been Others) – A song written while, well, drunk in the studio. With only one lyric repeated throughout, this might be a skip—or a perfect punk anthem, depending on your level of intoxication.

  • Eat Your Sacred Cows – Four actual, controversial quotes from historical figures like JFK, Obama, Lincoln, and Churchill set to punk instrumentals. Expect to question everything.

  • Full Disclosure (I Am A Stalker) – A disturbingly honest take on past behaviors, made all the more unsettling by the fact that some of it is autobiographical.

  • I Cried When Tatum Hugged His Son – An emotional tribute to the 2024 NBA champion Boston Celtics and the moment Jayson Tatum embraced his son after their victory. Even punk rockers have soft spots.

  • Love Me Anywhere (Except In An Elevator) – A takedown of Aerosmith’s career trajectory, from hard rock legends to what Herrera calls a “Celine Dion cover band.”

  • Milwaukee ‘73 (Or Maybe It Was ‘74) – A track pulled straight from Chapter 12 of Herrera’s long-overdue novel.

  • It’s Time To Get Serious About Drunk Driving & Let The Bad Times Roll (I Miss Her) – Songs so personal and raw, Herrera refuses to provide any commentary on them.


Growing Up Punk in a “Traditional” Hispanic Family

Despite what people might assume based on her last name, Herrera doesn’t come from a traditionally Hispanic household. Her Colombian father never spoke Spanish at home, and her grasp of the language is, by her own admission, at a preschool level. However, she has embraced her heritage in her own way—by attempting to sing in Spanish with The Tommy Lasorda Experience. Some of those efforts, including the hilariously titled Soy Mitad Latina Pero No Puedo Hablar Español Ni Salva Mi Vida (I’m Half Latin But I Can’t Speak Spanish To Save My Life), have become fan favorites, especially among the Spanish-speaking regulars at her local pool hall.


Embarrassing Moments? Take Your Pick

If you think punk rockers are immune to humiliation, think again. Herrera recalls a particularly disastrous weekend where a day of Jägermeister-fueled antics resulted in some questionable text messages. Things got worse when her (mostly ex) boyfriend Eddie hijacked her Facebook and posted her phone number and home address for the world to see. It stayed up for five days. Now, her bandmates want to use the most disgusting voicemail she received as an intro to a new track. She’s less amused.


Things You Might Not Know About Sarah Herrera

  1. She’s dyslexic – Which explains why Pancreatic Cancer has recorded some songs entirely backward, only for their producer to reverse them later.
  2. She’s obsessed with virtual reality porn – Enough said.
  3. She thinks Gmail users are suckers – “If you’re getting something for free, you’re the product,” she warns.
  4. The one insult that actually offends her? – Being called “ordinary.” Call her anything else, and she’ll laugh. Call her that, and she’ll “show you The Bronx.”

SyrianG: A Rising Star in R&B and Soul Music https://deathrowrecords.ca/syriang-a-rising-star-in-rb-and-soul-music/ Sat, 08 Mar 2025 05:36:52 +0000 https://deathrowrecords.ca/?p=606

The music industry is ever-evolving, with new talents emerging from every corner of the world. One artist making significant waves is SyrianG, a passionate and gifted singer-songwriter from Carbondale, Illinois. With a style deeply rooted in R&B, soul, and pop, she is carving her own lane in the music world. SyrianG’s music is an authentic reflection of her experiences, emotions, and aspirations, making her a relatable and engaging artist.

From humble beginnings to gaining recognition across various platforms, SyrianG’s journey has been marked by resilience, determination, and a deep love for music. Her unique sound, influenced by industry icons like Rihanna and K. Michelle, is winning over audiences worldwide. This article takes an in-depth look at her career, musical influences, challenges, and aspirations for the future.


The Journey of SyrianG: From Discovery to Stardom

Discovering Her Talent

SyrianG’s journey into music wasn’t conventional. She discovered her singing ability almost by accident, realizing she had a natural gift that could connect with people. This self-discovery led her to explore her musical talents further, and she soon found that music was her true calling.

Interestingly, music runs in her blood. She shares a family connection with Snooky Pryor, a legendary blues singer, which further cemented her belief that she was destined to make music. This familial legacy, combined with her own passion, set her on a path toward pursuing a professional career in the industry.

Breaking Into the Music Scene

Like many independent artists, SyrianG had to overcome several obstacles before gaining recognition. She faced challenges in marketing her music, securing the right team, and finding the right audience for her sound. However, she remained steadfast in her efforts, releasing music and consistently working on refining her craft.

Trapheauxly: Breakthrough Artist Behind GHETTO POETR¥ and the Atlanta Renaissance https://deathrowrecords.ca/trapheau-ghetto-poetr%c2%a5/ https://deathrowrecords.ca/trapheau-ghetto-poetr%c2%a5/#comments Sat, 01 Mar 2025 20:22:47 +0000 https://deathrowrecords.ca/?p=599 In the ever-evolving landscape of hip-hop, few artists bring a fusion of intellect, activism, and artistry as seamlessly as Trapheauxly. Born Katie Lois Johnson in Atlanta, this multi-dimensional creator transcends the boundaries of music, poetry, and social change. His latest project, GHETTO POETR¥, is not just an album—it’s a movement, a “Trap Symphony” blending intricate lyricism with the pulsating energy of trap beats. With a lineage tied to Otis Redding, a mind verified at 252 IQ, and a heart devoted to activism, Trapheauxly stands as a force of nature in the modern music scene.


GHETTO POETR¥: A Trap Symphony for the Soul

Trapheauxly’s latest work, GHETTO POETR¥, is a reflection of his artistic ethos. Defying traditional genre constraints, he merges trap music with poetic storytelling, creating what he calls a “Trap Symphony.” His sound is deeply rooted in raw emotion, lived experience, and social consciousness, making each track a layered narrative of resilience, love, and defiance.

The Inspirations Behind the Project

Inspired by his own experiences, the streets of Atlanta, and his intellectual pursuits, Trapheauxly approaches music as both an art form and a method of storytelling. His work echoes the poetic brilliance of Lauryn Hill, the experimental genius of Mac Miller, and the sharp lyricism of Lil Wayne, all while carrying the soulful depth passed down from his legendary grandfather, Otis Redding.

The Creative Process: Lyrics First, Beat Later

Trapheauxly’s songwriting process is rooted in lyricism above all else. Unlike many artists who build their music around beats, he starts with words, carefully crafting his verses in the notes section of his phone. The beat selection comes later, ensuring that each song is lyrically profound before it finds its sonic home. This method results in intricate flows and deeply personal storytelling, setting his music apart in a genre often dominated by production-heavy tracks.


Musical Influences: A Legacy of Sound

While Otis Redding’s soulful storytelling and emotional depth are embedded in Trapheauxly’s DNA, his influences span a diverse spectrum. Artists like Rapsody, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, Mac Miller, Chance the Rapper, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West have all played a role in shaping his artistry. Each of these legends contributes to different facets of his sound—from conscious lyricism to experimental production and unfiltered self-expression.


Overcoming Challenges: Belief in the Face of Doubt

Like many independent artists, self-doubt and external invalidation have been recurring challenges for Trapheauxly. The industry can be unforgiving, and proving oneself in spaces that often undermine intellectual and poetic hip-hop has been an ongoing battle. However, he counters these struggles through consistent growth, relentless self-improvement, and an unwavering belief in his vision.


A Defining Moment: A Grandmother’s Prophecy

Every artist has a defining moment, and for Trapheauxly, it came when he played one of his songs for his grandparents. As the music played, his grandmother turned to his grandfather and confidently declared that he was going to be a rapper. That moment of validation, coming from family rooted in musical greatness, served as an affirmation of his path.


Staying Inspired: Living as an Art Form

Creativity, for Trapheauxly, isn’t just about writing—it’s about living fully. He finds inspiration in life itself, embracing every experience as fuel for his art. When writer’s block hits, he steps away from the studio and immerses himself in the world, knowing that real-life experiences will always bring new stories to tell.


The Message: Love, Resilience, and Defiance

At the heart of Trapheauxly’s music is a message of empowerment. He speaks on love, resilience, and the courage to challenge oppression, offering a voice for those who feel unheard. His lyrics are both deeply personal and universally relatable, serving as anthems for those navigating their own struggles.


What’s Next? Experimental Sounds and New Horizons

Trapheauxly is currently working on a new project that pushes his artistic boundaries even further. This upcoming work blends his signature sound with experimental elements, exploring the dream-like state between sleep and wakefulness. Fans can expect a fusion of classic trap influences, poetic lyricism, and mind-expanding concepts.
