He soon began producing beats for worldwide idols 24hrs, Futuristic, Jban$2Turnt, Cam Meekins, and members of YBN collective.

Early production success for Trippy Ja came in 2017. Originally playing drums and guitar for an alternative rock band across Pennsylvania and New York, Trippy had no Hip-hop or Rap background. However, after being accepted to York College, Trippy came in contact with Philly-based rapper Werdplay.

Trending with over a million streams in the first month on SoundCloud, Trippy Ja began to assemble his first official album that proceeded to drop on all platforms.

The release of Trippy Ja’s album “The Come Up” initiated the trajectory of his music career. By taking artists out of their comfort zones and pushing the boundaries of different musical genres, Trippy facilitated a collaboration between multiple artists, developing new innovative sounds for the album.

As his work began to grab traction in the Philadelphia area, Trippy Ja continued to network his way up in the rap industry. Popping up on the radars of multiple record labels, Trippy Ja signed his first official deal to New York and London label “45,” skyrocketing his fan base in England.
