The Video:
Slicing through the Dirty South with his neck-snapping rhymes, Trigga500k is Florida’s realest rising rapper. Ready to fulfill his destiny and become the Sunshine State’s next breakout star, Trigga shares “Chosen 1,” his new single and music video. Produced by Ygedos, the song gives new context to Trigga’s drawly delivery, providing a bed of keyboards and skittering snares that evoke the classic sounds of the West Coast. For his part, Trigga delivers an impassioned argument for his special status, decrying fake trappers and promising to never fall off. Filmed in Northern California, near the San Francisco home of Trigga’s record label, EMPIRE, the music video reflects the song’s sonic palette, as the young rapper makes himself at home in the Bay Area. “Chosen 1” arrives in the wake of “Ain’t Goin,” a collaboration with fellow Floridian BossMan Dlow, which racked up over 1.5 million YouTube views.
“Chosen 1” is the latest step in Trigga500k’s steady rise to the top of the street rap game. Born and raised in Monticello, a small town approximately 30 minutes east of Tallahassee, Trigga first caught attention with his 2022 hit “Ether,” which has over 2.2 million views on YouTube and earned Trigga a deal with EMPIRE. He followed in 2023 with his debut album, Trimmer Den Ever, which racked up over 16.7 million organic streams in its first four months, powered in part by his viral hit “Havin Motion,” which has over 6 million streams across platforms. “Havin Motion” became an anthem across the south, earning Trigga cosigns from the likes of Lil Baby, 42 Dugg, Moneybagg Yo, Skilla Baby, Lil Scrappy and Meek Mill, among others, and leading to a 22-date headlining tour in 2024.
With an EP due this fall via EMPIRE, Trigga is primed to parlay his regional fame into national recognition. Stay tuned for more.
