ABOUT TRAP DICKEY:
Practically forged in fire, you can hear the raw hunger in Trap Dickey’s voice. It’s the sound of a young man with nothing to lose and everything to gain as he puts a whole community on his back. It’s the sound of unbelievable tragedy and pain transformed into personal truth now being shared out loud. It’s the sound of hip-hop’s next heavyweight contender, and it’s unapologetic, unbreakable, and undeniable. Growing up in South Carolina, he found refuge from a rough upbringing in music. One hardship after another ensued. His older brother Yung Hardaway caught a case and found himself locked up, leaving Trap Dickey without his most formative inspiration. If it wasn’t bad enough to be separated from his brother, he nearly lost his life. A shootout erupted at a party where Trap Dickey was shot in the face. Thankfully, he survived, but a lazy eye would forever remind him of what happened. He also faced his own battles with the system, narrowly beating a false murder charge. All of these close calls left him with minimal options. He could keep rolling the dice on the streets and either end up dead or in jail—or he could double down on music. He chose the latter. He broke through with “Blue Devils,” piling up 7.4 million Spotify streams and landing DaBaby for the Official Remix. On its heels, he showed out with stunning performances for On The Radar and From The Block in addition to collaborating with Rylo Rodriguez, YTB Fatt, BigXthaPlug, and more.
