Brandon TripN Smith is an up-and-coming rap artist from Mansfield, Ohio, whose brand new
single is about to hit the streets. The song, entitled “LLLB” showcases the singer’s take on the
current turbulent situation in the United States (and all over the world, for that matter). His
music bears some clear influences from Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Yelawolf, and other
such prominent rappers.
Brandon TripN Smith is an individual who has experienced a lot of grief. After his parents
separated, he found life was difficult with either parent, so he left home at the tender age of 15.
After this point, years of torment and difficulty ensued, with Smith struggling to keep his self
afloat by working small jobs and playing his music as well as getting involved in the “street life”, to make
ends meet. After a four-year stint in the U.S. Marine Corps, he found himself struggling financially. Still,
through this all, he stuck by his dream to become a musical artist and kept performing wherever he
could.
In spite of his determination, more grief was in store for Brandon TripN Smith, when he lost his
first daughter in a terrible car accident, then found himself separated from his children, and
imprisoned for two years in circumstances he attributes to being on the wrong path in life. Having done
his time, Brandon TripN Smith came out more determined than ever to succeed musically and somehow
bring his family together, and he dedicated each waking effort toward those goals. After a long and
difficult journey, he found himself back home in Ohio, where he teamed up with 5th SZN Music, with
whom he is collaborating on his first release, the track “LLLB”.
Rather than let his misfortune bring him down, Smith has grown out of that and become
stronger with each passing day, and now, he is using his music to send out a message of hope
and empowerment. His music also takes a strong stand against racism, having dealt with a
racist, arrogant, alcoholic, stepfather in the past. As the father of mixed-race children, Smith has seen
first-hand how cruel and divisive the world can be sometimes, and now he is using his art to try and
change that and carve out a better world for himself and his children.
His music brings together a wonderful mix of sensitivity, life experience, grit, and inner musings
that will no doubt appeal to a broad range of listeners, even those who aren’t specifically
interested in the rap genre. Keep an eye out on this young and impressive artist, because he will no
doubt reach new heights in the near future.
