Biography

Trillion has come on the scene ready to bring his “Double A Rap Game” with him. In his life he has followed the model of speak softly and carry a big stick of President Teddy Roosevelt, and the musical influence of the late J. Dilla. In the definition of Rap, the time has come to fill in the GAP. Then there was Trillion, he has evolved into the bridge between Conscience Rap and Gangsta Rap. The influences of Biggie, KRS-one, and several other rappers have set his style, which is definitely cunning, cold, and to the point. Before going solo, he tore up the streets with Sunny Diction his partner in the group “Fly Mouth”. His chameleon style has enable him to hit the underground circuit tearing up the joints, as he hits his stride with Fast Lane, Gun Play, City on Fire, and Snakes.

The motto of “Do as I say and not as I do” has led Trillion into developing his mascot “The Righteous Demon”. The mascot is a reminder of how he has gone through some tough times and has lived on the dark side. Even though he was able to overcome the temptation of the dark side, his music is a call to take notes that “it ain’t all pretty”. As he rises to the top, his goal is bring aboard other artists to develop the true spirit of RAP as a spoken word. Put your seat belt on and get ready for a ride because Trillion is going to fill in the gap with his CD “The Deficit”, coming soon.
