We’d like to believe Young Jeezy wasn’t speaking only of himself last summer when he proclaimed that “trappin’ ain’t dead.” We would like to think he was talking about the future generation of rappers who are going to build upon what he and other rappers like T.I. have built. We’d like to think that because one of our favorite new rappers comes from the trap: Tyrone “Pill” Rivers. You may know him as the guy who made the trap anthem of the year, “Trap Goin’ Ham” and the accompanying video which had the viewer riding through his neighborhood, and taking a peek at all that really went down (the clip was also named Complex’s #5 Internet Music Video of the Decade).
We know him as the dude who was co-signed by Andre 3000 and made one of the best mixtapes of the past year, 4180: The Prescription. But that was pretty much all we knew. To learn more, we invited Pill to the Complex offices while he was working on the follow up to 4180, 4075: The Refill (which dropped today, download link after the jump) to find out exactly who the man behind the music was. Read on to learn about how he came up, what he thinks of the rap game now and why he’d rap even if there was no money in it for him…
