12.7.2017
The Song:
A master of melody and an orchestrator of street bombast, Queens-native Trav is a major player in the resurgent NYC scene. Penning a dramatic ode to burner phones, Trav explains how he does business on “Boost Mobile,” his latest video single. Teaming up with fellow street melody maestro Lil Durk, Trav adopts an aggressive bellow, enthusiastically boasting about his ends and his means. In the video, the two emcees stunt in the kitchen, cooking up a storm and keeping an eye on the feds. Premiered by WorldStarHipHop, “Boost Mobile” is the latest video from QRAK (Queens Raised A King), Trav’s guest-star-studded upcoming album. Featuring appearances from Meek Mill, Tory Lanez, Belly, Jim Jones, Blac Youngsta, Don Q, and Vory, QRAK hits stores on December 8th.
Last month, Trav shared the Complex-premiered “Blow My High,” an intimidating, no-nonsense track featuring Meek Mill. Earlier, Trav shared one for the smokers with the HYPEBEAST-premiered “Rolled Up,” which features Tory Lanez and Belly. Born and raised in Jamaica, Queens, Trav started rapping at the age of 16, catching the attention of NYC tastemakers, including DJ Whookid and DJ Green Lantern. Trav credits his first big break to DJ Green Lantern’s radio show on Sirius XM. In 2009, Trav linked up with 50 Cent, who brought the young rapper into his network of G-Unit affialiates. Trav released his first solo tape The Way I See It, and then released Follow Me, hosted by DJ Whookid, which featured the single “Ride The Wave,” which made a splash on urban radio. Since “Ride The Wave,” Trav has collaborated with Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana, and he recently opened for Sean Kingston and Jim Jones on the “Red Bull Presents: Vamp Life Tour.” With QRAK, Trav looks to share a complete artistic statement and reach a new level of commercial relevance.

The Background
Hailing from Queens, Trav got his start with artist 50 Cent in 2009. His first solo mixtape, ‘The Way I See It’ was well-received, triggering numerous downloads and recognition within the Hip Hop community. His follow-up mixtape ‘Follow Me,’ presented by DJ Whookid, featured the Hit Single ‘Ride the Wave’ and received hundreds of radio spins at major radio stations. The single also received a feature on Music Choice. According to Whookid, ‘Follow Me’ highlights Trav’s peerless ability to make music–music that will make you “feel all types of emotions.”
The success Trav has received since ‘Ride the Wave’ is marked by a remix of the song featuring hit-maker Juelz Santana and G-Unit’s own Lloyd Banks. He proved his worth, live on stage with 50 Cent on his nationwide ‘Invitation BISD Tour.’ Now, you can find Trav performing on tour with Sean Kingston and Jim Jones in the “Red Bull Presents: Vamp Life Tour,” where he’s showcasing his talent with new, and classic, songs in front of thousands of fans. Look out for QRAK, Trav’s next project, hitting stores on December 8th
