When Don Trip dropped a Youtube video rapping his verses to “Letter To My Child” in September of 2009, the video of the relatively unknown rapper only began to pick up views at a moderate pace. It wasn’t until two years later, after steadily growing his buzz, that Don released the official video to the song. Adding Cee-Lo Green to the hook, Don had laid enough groundwork for “Letter To My Son” to finally pop and for him to finally start getting his just due.
For some, it seems Don Trip suddenly came out of nowhere. Though, if you ask him, the last three years have been quite the grind. Now—having signed to Interscope Records in 2011 and recently released his latest single “Allen Iverson” to critical acclaim—Don’s ready to drop his most anticipated project yet.
With Memphis on his back and his new mixtape Guerrilla set to drop on Febuary 27, it’s time you get familiar. We caught up with Don Trip, to talk everything from “Allen Iverson” to signing with Interscope to mapping out the next five years. Find out how he plans to continue his recent success and why he’s so cautious of being famous.
