Early years

He was born as Michael Lamar White IV on June 18, 1999, in the town of Canton, in the state of Ohio, in the United States.  He said that growing up in the States was actually very fun and interesting and that he wanted to work in the industry of media since he was small because he was exposed to many superstars.

He grew up in an unstable home and at the time of his birth his father Michael Lamar White, whom he got his name, was serving a sentence in prison. This brought a lot of trouble into his life and he had a lot of things to make up for. It seemed like he will need emotional rehabilitiation later.

That means that his mother whose name was Tonya White had a very hard responsibility of raising him alone. He has great respect for her because he knows the amount of time and effort she put into him. She just wished for her children to be happy.

Being a single parent is always hard, especially in a family with a low income and in an insecure environment. This is why he has the need to help his family now that he is earning more cash. They are still pretty close.

Michael has spent a lot of his childhood on the streets, hanging out with his friends, playing basketball and similar. He said that many people have not had this experience and that is probably what changed them.

Michael junior has spent his entire childhood in his birth town of Canton but he had moved to Columbus a few times during that period.

After he finished high school and graduated from it he moved to Atlanta, a town known as the music center. He was very pleased to relocate to Atlanta because it was a town of big possibilities for musicians and people involved in hip hop music.

His mother was the biggest influence on him because she always played some music at home. He also has great respect for her because of this.

His mother had a hard life and music was her way to get away from her every day worries.

She was a huge fan of Beyonce, Nas and Tupac Amaru Shakur, Michael got interested in the world of music so he started listening to notable artists such as Gucci Mane, T-Pain, and Lil Wayne.

But Michael also liked listening to Marilyn Manson, Nirvana, and the Kiss. His first encounter with rapping was through Lil Tae, real name Kiss. He spent a lot of time researching all of these big influences and that’s why his music can be perceived as a mix of all genres.

Michael liked to listen to versatile musicians and genres and that is the reason why his music is different from the mainstream.

Michael decided to try himself in rapping career so he began recording and released two singles named ” New Ferrari” and “Sub-Zero” but he wasn’t satisfied with them later so he eventually deleted them.

Career development

His big career breakthrough came with his moving to Atlanta in the post-graduation period. He was introduced there to another rapper named Lil Wop.

Lil Wop became a very important person in Trippie’s life: he got him introduced to many known Atlanta’s rappers and music producers. They also became great friends and although the media always portrayed them as people who have beef together and spend a lot of time fighting, this is not true.

Lil Wop or Wopster is not from Atlanta just as him: he came from Chicago. His style which is often called as demonic is also highly influenced by Gucci Mane.

The result of this was that he managed to set him a deal with a record label. He also enabled him to start recording in a real professional studio and got producers to help him out.

This was a huge thing for him and he often mentions how he is grateful for Wopster’s support in the beginning. He said that working with other people in the industry helped him really get a close look at the industry itself.

The deal he gained from his first label was the result of his work with Kodie Shane. He said that he really enjoyed spending time with them, but saw the true colors of the art world.

They made three projects together: “Awakening My Inner Beast”, “Rock The World Trippie” and “Beast Mode”.
