We've got a hot tip for you: Check out T.R.I.G.G.A., a local rapper with thought-provoking lyrics and inspirational themes. The Fort Worth MC expresses high-powered messages of hope, a contrast to the grimey and negative storylines we hear so much. "I use real-life experiences that are mostly relatable to the everyday person's life," T.R.I.G.G.A. told us. "We all don't have the money, bling and swagga, so I want to uplift, motivate and encourage through my gift." That said, T.R.I.G.G.A.'s beats and rhyme style can still compete with any radio hit. Listen to "Generation Flava" and "Move" at myspace.com/triggalife. - By DELANO WASHINGTON Quick Entertainment Paper (HipHopScene)

Bio
Truly - Rising - In - Greatness - Geared - Abroad, is what T.R.I.G.G.A stands for.
My name comes from the direct correlation of what a trigger does and that is to release or spark something to happen. Not to point at violence in any way, form or fashion, given that anyone, thing, or experience can cause something to happen. That is what my music does is pierce through the heart by making you think. I take my show on the road to all walks of life focusing on the mainstream and diverse audience. He has graced the stages of The House of Blues, State Fair of Texas, Six Flags Theme Parks worldwide, New York(Times Square), Royal Carribean, Norwegian, and Carnival cruises, The Glass Cactus @ the Gaylord Texan Resort, Cruises and many more worldwide tours and festivals. I feel that I have unique musical experiences from being the son of a former disc jokey of WTUG in Tuscaloosa, AL. I have grown up around and listened to all sorts of music from Phil Collins to the BG's from the Isley Brothers to Marvin Gay, to name a few. So what I want to share in is a positive message that anybody can listen to and relate to with same mainstream appeal as a Jay-Z, Kanye West, or Drake. As a country boy turned inner city youth,moved from Ralph, Alabama to Dallas/Ft.Worth, Texas at a young age. As time passed for most of his adolescent years things began to change on the inside and quickly changed in deed. The exploration of bad company, bad choices, and a bad attitude sent him spiraling down. Broken on the inside from such a lifestyle led T.R.I.G.G.A to a special encounter with God which would miraculously change his life and lead him back to music for the better. As T.R.I.G.G.A began to grow in his calling, much of what was corrected on the inside was also a correction in what he listened to. He began to write through the same inspiration and power that changed his life and gave him the name..............................T.R.I.G.G.A
Armed and Dangerous, a much anticipated album from Trigga, has inspiration of God all over it. This artist is definitely on the rise with such an energetic anointed flow. Not only is the cd "The UnExpected EP" getting great publicity and praise for his unique style. T.R.I.G.G.A has made big waves since the inspirational birthed 2003-04 Armed and Dangerous release as his first album, earning him much respect as a national artist on the rise and that has established himself. He has toured nationally on the Xtreme Tour, been on Stellar Award nominated compilations, Featured on National magazines, newspapers, numerous radio and internet play worldwide, and more taking a peak at his presskit. The \"UnExpected\" ep on the way to his second full album brings about his maturity as an artist to be reckoned with in 2008 and years to come. Nationally catching the attention of many mainstream listeners, many come to fing out that T.R.I.G.G.A can hang with the best and his style challenges an audience. His high powered messages of hope in a saturated world of grime, negativity, and survival is just what he stands for in the middle of a craving society. He is a driven a leader, an artist that takes the art of rhyme to another level. T.R.I.G.G.A has already put a global stamp on radio hiphop heads with his commercial hit \"Generation Flava\". His \"MOVE!\" single definitely opened the flood gates for the generation of the dance, krump, battle, and more. There is also the spiritual inspirational \"Believe\" groove that talks on struggle, eternity, life changes, decisions, and more. With new bangers like \"Reach Out,\" \"Braggin,\" and newly written \"THIRSTY\" just released on mp3 spinnig on worldwide stations and internet, he accepts the challenge put in front of him to give people more than what they expect but the \"UnExpected.\" Be sure you keep T.R.I.G.G.A on your radar and in your rotation.
