You would be hard-pressed to find an emerging artist who is having a better year than Deerfield, FL rapper Trapland Pat right now. Freshly signed to Fredo Bang’s Bang Biz Entertainment, his first single of the year, Big Business is a hit with 2M+ video views to date. His follow-up, New Jam Freestyle, is hot on its heels and it’s already drawing recognition from Lyrical Lemonade, Passionweiss, DJ Booth, Popdust and HipHopDX and No Jumper. With success though comes drama so, today’s new visual offering, Fck a Ngga, from his recently released Thru Da Door mixtape, goes out to all the Judases and street rats out there.
Trapland Pat’s music career almost wasn’t. In fact, his path was leading the first-generation Haitian-American towards the gridiron via a football scholarship in Indianapolis. Though that plan was sidelined, this young man is clearly doing exactly what he was destined to do. His lyrical dexterity and ability to effortlessly ride an astonishing array of beats has singled him out as already on par with those he lists as his influences.
“Being versatile is so important to me,” he explains. “You never know how I’m going to approach a beat or rap on a song. I never want to be predictable. I hope you’re on the edge like, ‘Damn, this guy could just switch it up at any moment and give me a different feeling I’ve never gotten before’. That’s it.”
Whatever his formula, it’s working. Trapland Pat is next. Expect to find him on everyone’s Ones to Watch lists this year and be sure to stay tuned on the socials. You don’t want to miss what’s next!
