The Video:
Melding streetwise lyrics with addictive flows and melodies, Queens’ Trav is one of New York’s most underrated emcees. Bringing out his neighborhood for a boisterous and threatening new video, Trav shares “Fuck N*gga,” his latest video. Packing his crew into a Queens bodega, Trav excoriates a fake friend in his new video, lamenting how he used to look up to him before he turned snitch. An infectious, auto-tuned laced banger, “Fuck N*gga” is a highlight from QRAK, Trav’s most recent album, released in December. Premiered by VIBE, the album boasts excellent tracks such as the rowdy, Lil Durk-featuring banger “Boost Mobile,” the urgent, yet laid-back “Blow My High,” featuring Meek Mill, the druggy, HYPEBEAST-premiered“Rolled Up,” which features Tory Lanez and Belly, and the Jahlil Beats-produced “QRAK,” which received an intense, prison-set video. Featuring additional appearances from Jim Jones, Blac Youngsta, Don Q, and Vory, QRAK is a welcome window into the life of an NYC rapper on the rise.
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.”

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
