Trippie Redd's Sophomore Album Is A Feast Of Melodies Featuring Playboi Carti, Lil Baby, And More

Trippie Redd's sophomore album, !, is out today, and it's indeed quite the exclamation point thanks to its surprising array of features from artists like Playboi Carti and Lil Baby. Fourteen tracks long, it serves as a welcome follow-up to 2018's Life's A Trip. At its concise span, it's enough to give the world a taste of where he's at now without overstaying his welcome. And, true to form, it's thick, emotional rap-singing that fans will eagerly drink up.





The album explores several sides of Trippie Redd's mind and artistry. "Snake Skin" is a heavy track that touches on topics like self-harm, which he elaborated on in a recent interview with Billboard, saying, "It's sort of suicidal in a stay away from it kind of shit. That's the full concept of it, stay away from suicide." Then there really are his fierce raps on tracks like "Be Yourself" and "Mac 10" that remind you he is rapper first along with a melody-maker second. Diplo is credited as a producer for the title track and, moreover to the previously unveiled artists, The Game and Lil Duke also make appearances.


Trippie Redd's been on a roll since becoming a member of XXL 2018 Freshman Class last year. He released Life's A Trip that August and followed up with a mixtape, A Love Letter To 3, in November. Earlier this year, he shared a number of unreleased tracks called Old Self.
