Ohio native
Trippie Redd rocketed to fame in 2017, with his "Love Scars" single racking up millions of streams, and guest appearances on tracks by
XXXTENTACION and
D.R.A.M. Heavily influenced by Southern rap icons
Lil Wayne and
Gucci Mane as well as shock rocker
Marilyn Manson, his music is brash, energetic, and emotional, often causing him to be tagged as emo-rap alongside artists like
Lil Uzi Vert. Released only a few months after his Strainge Entertainment debut,
A Love Letter to You, the sequel features 14 wildly exuberant, hook-heavy tracks, including the singles "Bust Down" and "In Too Deep."
A Love Letter to You 2 charted in the Top 40 of the Billboard 200 following its October 2017 release.
