Don Trip The Head That Wears the Crown [Digipak]

When  Don  Trip  surveyed  the  music  landscape  a  few  years   ago,  he  felt  something  substantial  was  missing.   Nobody s   giving  you  the  full  picture,  the  Memphis  rapper  says.   We re   all  human.  We  all  go  through  different  moods.  Today  we   might  be  happy.  Tomorrow  we  might  check  the  mail  and  it ll   be  all  bills  and  your  attitude s  totally  different.  My  whole   point  is  to  show  everything.     So So  when  Don  Trip  began  recording  material,  he  purposely   focused  on  life s  highs  and  lows,  on  people s  triumph  and   pain,  on  our  bliss  and  rage.  One  of  his  most  powerful  cuts   was  2009 s   Letter  To  My  Son,  witch  details  the  pain  he   feels  because  he  doesn t  get  to  see  his  son  as  much  as  he   would  like  to.  It s  an  emotional,  heartfelt  song  that  docu-­ ments  the  battle  Don  Trip  was  having  with  his  child s  mother.   As  a  child  growing  up  on  the  rugged  East  Side  of  Memphis,   Don  Trip  never  thought  he d  be  able  to  rap.  He  came  from  a   fatherless  household.  His  mother  worked  multiple  jobs  to   take  care  of  their  family,  which  also  included  Don  Trip s   brother  and  sister.  By  the  time  he  was  15,  Don  Trip  noticed   that  his  family  was  falling  apart.     So  Don  Trip  turned  to  rap.   As As  Don  Trip  started  gaining  clout  in  the  underground   Memphis  rap  scene,  Memphis  rappers  such  as  Three  6   Mafia,  Project  Pat  and  8Ball  &  MJG  enjoyed  a  string  of  gold   and  platinum  releases.  The  breakthrough  2005  film  Hustle  &   Flow  also  documented  the  Memphis  rap  scene,  further   added  to  the  city s  status  in  the  rap  world.     Fast Fast  forward  a  few  years,  he  is  refueled  after  a  bad  business   partnership.  Mr.  Trip  has  returned,  and  is  more  driven  than   ever.  With  numerous  projects  to  date,  he  plans  to  release  his   2nd  studio  album  titled   The  Head  That  Wears  the  Crown .
