Working with local artists Cubbage and Werdplay, Trippy Ja released multiple hit singles, grabbing the attention of heavy hitters in the music industry. He soon began producing beats for worldwide idols Futuristic, Cam Meekins, 24hrs, and the YBN collective.

Early production success for Trippy Ja came in 2017. Originally playing drums and guitar for an alternative rock band across Pennsylvania and New York, Trippy had no Hip-hop or Rap background. However, after being accepted to York College, Trippy came in contact with Philly-based rapper Werdplay. Working together, Trippy Ja and Werdplay combined their home styles of rock and rap. By establishing this unique sound for themselves, they reached a new type of audience and broke into the industry.

One year after Trippy Ja released his first official collaboration, his tracks accumulated over a million streams across Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud. Grabbing the attention of Lil Yatchy’s brother Jban$2Turnt, the single collaboration “Gang” dropped, exposing Trippy’s production skills to many leaders within the industry. Following the release of “Gang,” Trippy came in contact with the members of YBN to collaborate on the hit single “Imma Ball,” with artist YBN Nahmir. Trending with over a million streams in the first month on SoundCloud, Trippy Ja began to assemble his first official album that proceeded to drop on all platforms.

The release of Trippy Ja’s album “The Come Up” initiated the trajectory of his music career. By taking artists out of their comfort zones and pushing the boundaries of different musical genres, Trippy facilitated a collaboration between multiple artists, developing new innovative sounds for the album. As his work began to grab traction in the Philadelphia area, Trippy Ja continued to network his way up in the rap industry. Popping up on the radars of multiple record labels, Trippy Ja signed his first official deal to New York and London label “45,” skyrocketing his fan base in England.

Trippy Ja’s fan base has continued to expand at an exponential rate as he accelerates opportunities collaborating with platinum artists and producers. Furthermore, Trippy Ja has surprised his fans by making an appearance on the mixtape “Who Got Heat,” recently released by American rapper and songwriter Fetty Wap.

On May 20th, Trippy Ja released the single “Listen to Me” with platinum artists 24hrs and Futuristic.
