Joey Trap (b. October 26, 1998) is a young artist out of San Diego, California, born and raised in New York. He’s the founder of the label Young Rich Squad and the now-disbanded Kloud Gang.

Joey consistently drops music as he takes you through his extremely diverse sounds, with each project having an apparent style and genre. Although well known for his 2018 Trapped in TV, he has since shown far greater talent in the rap realm, such as 2020’s Playlist for the End of the World, and 2021’s PROFESSIONAL.

On Jul 8, 2022, the rapper notably took down a large amount of projects from streaming services.

I’m not sure how many of my true fans here will read this, most of my discography has now been taken down, this is a huge deal, but this is ok.

This was explained in a now deleted Instagram post, reasoning this sparking from issues of sabotage from previous collaborators and/or producers:

…no matter how much you try to help people on your team, if their true colors are not pure they will reveal themselves to be snakes. As did every team member I’ve ever worked with in the past years, leaving my circle smaller than ever.

Despite this large loss in discovery, Joey has still shown his strength as an artist, particularly with his popularity on FROM THE BACK, and other drops between 2020 and 2022.
