TROY

Making noise out of Richmond, VA, rapper Troy (formerly known as JrdaRappr) drops his latest single All We Got is This featuring Chicago’s own Mick Jenkins and produced by Mos Poetik and Namebrand. The theme of All We Got is This articulates how Black America is forced to cope with their oppression with minimal and further crippling resources. As Mick Jenkins emotionlessly states on the hook, “All we got is weed (little bit of weed) / Something on the drink / Can’t afford a shrink…” An additional theme weaved throughout All We Got is This is the lack of relatability, understanding and concern America has for the oppression and violence black Americans endures. Accordingly, Troy embodies this message in the lyric “Ain’t no houses getting built on top of affordable apartments/ Ain’t nobody shoot your partner/ Nigga you don’t feel this.”   Troy , a new artist to the national rap scene, immediately ascended to the top of Richmond’s music scene with the release of his highly acclaimed debut project Highway To Hell that includes the standout singles “This That,” “Way2” and “Sometimes.” Renowned Richmond producer Namebrand handles every track on the production side, delivering a carefully curated selection of instrumentals crafted from an impressive range of samples. Released on JUNETEENTH, Highway To Hell is infused with a variety of dense emotions: pain, awareness, exhaustion, retribution, and determination that derive from the black experience of living in POVERTY in America.
