About Trippie Redd
Michael Lamar White II (born June 18, 1999), known professionally as Trippie Redd, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. Born and raised in Canton, Ohio, he has contributed to the progression of emo rap and rage, a subgenre of trap music. His debut mixtape, A Love Letter to You (2017) was released by Elliot Grainge's 10K Projects and entered the Billboard 200, while its lead single, "Love Scars" received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). A Love Letter to You 2 followed shortly after. In 2018, he released his debut studio album Life's a Trip and A Love Letter to You 3; their singles, "Dark Knight Dummo" (featuring Travis Scott), "Taking a Walk", and "Topanga" each entered the Billboard Hot 100. The album and its follow-up,! (2019) both reached the top five of the Billboard 200, while his fourth mixtape, A Love Letter to You 4 (2019) topped the chart. Redd's third and fourth albums Pegasus (2020) and Trip at Knight (2021), both peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. The latter's lead single, "Miss the Rage" (with Playboi Carti), peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains his highest-charting song. Redd's fifth album, Mansion Musik (2023), peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, while his sixth mixtape, A Love Letter to You 5 (2023), peaked at number 13. His sixth album, NDA, is scheduled to release in 2026. Redd has released the album Neon Shark vs Pegasus (2021) – a deluxe reissue of Pegasus – in collaboration with American punk rock drummer Travis Barker. He has also released the collaborative extended play (EP), Genre: Sadboy (2024), with fellow Ohio-based rapper MGK. In 2023, the song was certified Diamond by the RIAA for moving over 10 million units, becoming Redd's first song to achieve this. Redd began taking his music career seriously and began recording music, releasing "Sub-Zero" and "New Ferrari" in 2014 but soon deleting those songs. Lil Wop helped Redd get started with a professional recording studio. They began working with Kodie Shane and recorded three projects: Awakening My Inner Beast, Beast Mode and Rock the World Trippie.
