Trapboy Freddy

Trapboy Freddy, the Dallas, Texas native whose streetwise delivery alternates between ruthless and exposed, entered the scene in the mid-2010s through an array of independent mixtapes, guest appearances, and shows throughout his hometown region.

He tried his hand at freestyling while still a teenager yet waited until age 21 to treat rap as a serious pursuit, spurred by the goal of leaving street life behind. His upbringing amid poverty and his drive as a hustler supplied the material for a rapid stream of self-released mixtapes, and his nonstop stage presence soon made him a fixture at local clubs. The self-released body of work features a four-volume series launched by 2014’s 1st Quarter, the Trapboy Freddy Krueger series that began in 2016, and the 2018 projects No Feelings and Rockboy Freddy 2020 Flow. By the close of 2018 he had accumulated dozens of featured credits as well as joint tapes with fellow Dallas-Fort Worth artists Slezzy Bezzy and Go Yayo.
