Trouble - "Real Is Rare" (Edgewood) Video | @Troubledte

 Atlanta-bred rapper Trouble has signed a joint venture with Interscope Records and Mike WiLL Made-It's Ear Drummer Records, home to platinum-selling, award-winning hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd. This spring, Trouble will release his new mixtape Edgewood via Ear Drummer Records/Interscope Records. “Real Is Rare,” a cut from the mixtape produced by Mike WiLL Made-It is out today along with an accompanying video. 

Edgewood will feature the recent single “Bring It Back,” a collaboration between Trouble, Drake, and Ear Drummer Records founder Mike WiLL Made-It. Released in December, “Bring It Back” merges its minimalist production with what HotNewHipHop hails as “a screeching, wobbly beat that still feels supremely trap.” 

Mike Will Made It – “No other producer x artist combo can pull off what Trouble and I are about to do. Edgewood is only the beginning. I really felt like it was time for a level up for Trouble – I’ve been watching his grind for years now, since we were young as fuck, coming up in Atlanta on the music scene, trying to make something out of nothing. Trouble is the only person from the city who’s going to give you that raw, pure, honest, real rap, mixed with originality, new flavor, new flows and new lingo. He has the grind, work ethic, and dedication to back it up and the city knows.”

Last June, Trouble released his six-track EP 16, which included an appearance by T.I. and delivered the hit single “Brick” (feat. Skippa Da Flippa). Earlier in 2017, Trouble drew praise from Pitchfork, who deemed him “an increasingly adept hook slinger—prone to staying in pocket melodically, but versatile and daring in every other sense.”

Born Mariel Semonte Orr, Trouble began rapping at age 14 and soon joined the roster of Atlanta-based label Duct Tape Entertainment. At 23, he released his debut mixtape December 17^th, which appeared on Complex’s “25 Best Mixtapes of 2011” list. December 17^th included Trouble’s breakthrough single “Bussin’,” whose remix featured Yo Gotti, Waka Flocka Flame, and Trae Tha Truth.

In 2013, Trouble landed on XXL’s “15 Atlanta Rappers You Should Know” list and released his acclaimed mixtape The Return of December 17^th (which Uproxx described as offering “honesty and straightforward tales from the streets over no holds barred beats”). Trouble’s previous projects also include 2016’s Skoobzilla and 2015’s Skoob Fresh, among others.
