Trippie Redd, born Michael Lamar White IV in 1999, is an American rapper and singer known for blending trap, hip hop, emo, and rock influences into a genre-defying sound. Emerging from Canton, Ohio, he built a devoted following through his SoundCloud-era breakout and has since become one of the defining voices of the melodic, emotionally raw style that helped redefine mainstream hip hop in the late 2010s.
Known by monikers like "1400" and "Tr666," Trippie Redd has released a string of successful albums and mixtapes that showcase his versatility, moving fluidly between hard-hitting trap anthems and moody, guitar-inflected tracks. His willingness to experiment across genres — touching on punk, alternative, and R&B textures alongside his rap roots — has made him a standout figure among his peers and a frequent collaborator with major names in hip hop.
With his distinctive vocal delivery, colorful visual aesthetic, and a catalog that spans emotional balladry to aggressive bangers, Trippie Redd has cultivated a passionate fanbase and a reputation as one of the more unpredictable and boundary-pushing artists of his generation.
