Trel Itz A Hit 225 - Da Drip (internetz, 2017)
Trel/Biggz is a producer from Baton Rouge, best known for last year’s ‘Cross Me’, a bouncy piece of steel drum nihilism that deserved to blow up beyond its 884, 000 views on Youtube. (Guilty as charged - I didn’t hear it until Noz collated his best rap songs of 2016.) You would hope that he has been able to roll from placement to placement, but beyond a delightfully ignorant WNC reunion called ‘Retarded N Dumb’, the outlet for his creations has been instrumental videos on Youtube. ‘Da Drip’ is a highlight from these creations, an almost stately piece of parping horns and floating digital theremin. It’s pretty where ‘Cross Me’ was brash, and it deserves a rapper to treat it right.
