As Memphis rapper Don Trip readies a couple of new projects, he’ll talk about his journey through the tumultuous music business this week as part of the Memphis Music Foundation’s “Backstage Pass” series.
Trip, who released his best of many mixtapes, Guerrilla, earlier this year, will return on October 31st with Help is On the Way, a new full-length solo mixtape. The collection is named after the song “Help is On the Way,” which was featured on Guerrilla and was once slated to be the title of Trip’s debut album for Interscope Records.
Trip is still working closely with Miami-based Epidemic Records producers Cool & Dre and is still affiliated with Interscope — which re-released Trip’s breakthrough single “Letter to My Son” last year — through them, but isn’t sure when he’ll release something else through the label.
