Trippie Redd Surprise Releases The ‘Hate Is Dead’ Mixtape

Trippie Redd has had a lot on his mind as of late. For starters, while in Baltimore for his Tripp At Knight Tour, his tour bus was reportedly shot at, wounding a driver. He was then featured on the Fighting Demons posthumous album from his friend Juice WRLD, hopping on the track “Feline” with Polo G. Then this past weekend following the death of Drakeo The Ruler, Trippie tweeted “Rip Drakeo u really supported me when u came home I can’t do nun but thank u bro and wish u a beautiful journey to the other side.”

Emotions seem to have boiled over for the Columbus rapper and last night, he announced a new mixtape mere hours before it dropped. Posting about releasing the eight songs on Instagram, Trippie wrote: “these are all songs by me only 1 feature.” He then dropped the tape, and soon went on Instagram Live to play all of the songs for his followers.

The Hate Is Dead mixtape sees Trippie navigating through his pensive flow, often infusing Nintendo 8-bit and other video game-style effects over auto-tuned vocals on tracks like “So Thankful” and “Red Line.” The tape actually includes a ninth bonus cut too.

Check out the album artwork and the deciphered tracklist below.

Juice WRLD’s Posthumous Album ‘Fighting Demons’ Includes A Surprising Collaboration

The tracklist and cover for Juice WRLD’s second posthumous album Fighting Demons have arrived, revealing a surprising feature for the prolific Chicago rapper. In addition to expected features from Juice’s peers, Polo G and Trippie Redd, a member of the K-Pop world makes an appearance: BTS member Suga, who will appear on the track “Girl Of My Dreams.” Rounding out the guestlist are Justin Bieber, on the previously released “Wandered To LA,” and Eminem, with whom Juice previously collaborated on “Godzilla” from Eminem’s 2020 album Music To Be Murdered By.

The news of Suga’s appearance is already drawing significant buzz among K-pop fan circles as the genre edges closer to the American mainstream — mainly by high-profile collaborations with other US rappers like Megan Thee Stallion and Juice, and other pop acts which are already popular here, such as Coldplay. “Butter,” BTS’ collaboration with Megan, hit no. 1 on the Hot 100 and has become a staple of this year’s live televised performances. Likewise, “My Universe” with Coldplay has also become a huge hit, contributing to the overall visibility of the international group.

Meanwhile, the collab could help Juice to another posthumous No. 1 debut after his prior 2020 release, Legends Never Die, became one of the most commercially successful posthumous releases ever, hanging onto the top spot for two weeks.

Trippie Redd’s Tour Bus Was Reportedly Shot Near A Baltimore Airport

While COVID safety was the concern that kept artists off the road in 2020, Trippie Redd’s Trip At Knight tour faced an entirely different security scare last night. The Baltimore Sun newspaper reports that Trippie’s tour bus was shot by a passing car on the way to the Baltimore-Washington International Airport after his show at MECU Pavilion.

According to the Sun the bus was shot multiple times on the passenger side at around 2:45 am, wounding the driver, who was still able to pull the bus over at BWI. He was taken to a hospital for treatment. While officials wouldn’t say whether Trippie himself or any of the other performers were aboard, the report does confirm that crew members from venue were. None of the other passengers were injured and while police cordoned off the area and investigated, no arrests or charges have been announced as yet.

Trippie is currently touring to support his new album, Trip At Knight, which released August 20 via 10K Projects and contains features from Trippie’s fellow SoundCloud Rap contemporaries like Juice WRLD, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, and Ski Mask The Slump God. It received additional attention, though, for the song “Betrayal” featuring Drake, on which the guest rapper apparently restarted his feud with Kanye West, to Trippie’s own surprise. The younger rapper admitted he had no idea Drake dissed Kanye on the song, but considering all the extra streams the moment probably brought him, he’s probably not all that perturbed by it.

Trippie Redd Said He Didn’t Realize Drake Was Dissing Kanye On ‘Betrayal’

Unwittingly, Trippie Redd became involved with one of the longest cold wars in hip-hop — the one that continually flares up between Drake and Kanye. With Kanye gearing up to released his ever-evolving Donda project (which he now claims was put out without his approval), and Drake’s long-awaited Certified Lover Boy finally on the horizon, these two have reason to be going at each other again as they vie for the top spot in the genre. Meanwhile, Trippie was just stoked to release his latest album, Trip At Knight with a Drake feature on it.

When the song in question, “Betrayal,” dropped with Drizzy rapping: “All these fools I’m beefin’ that I barely know / Forty-five, forty-four (Burned out), let it go,” he raps, which probably references Kanye’s age of 44, though his other GOOD Music rival, Pusha T, is also 44 years old. “Ye ain’t changin’ shi*t for me, it’s set in stone / Rollin’ stones, heavy stones (PinkGrillz) / Precious stone, let me make my presence known.”

Trippie, however, was completely in the dark as to the significance of the bars. “I thought he was talking about a strap or something, forty-five, forty-four,” he told 92.3 Real in an interview. “I didn’t know what he was talking about. It is what it is.”

Trippie Redd Burns Rubber Under The Night Sky In His Video For ‘Supernatural’

After a bit of a wait, Trippie Redd dropped his fourth album, Trip At Knight, last weekend, which featured the likes of Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Juice WRLD, Lil Durk, Polo G, SoFaygo, Ski Mask The Slump God, XXXTentacion, BabyFace Ray, Sada Baby, and Icewear Vezzo. Now he’s released the video for one of its tracks, “Supernatural.”

It finds Trippie and by his crew at a late-night gathering. The rapper and his friends take over a parking lot, with cars doing donuts and high-precision drifts.

The release of Trip At Knight didn’t come without some drama. On “Betrayal,” guest Drake used his guest verse to seemingly diss Kanye West, with whom he’s been feuding for quite some time. “All these fools I’m beefin’ that I barely know / Forty-five, forty-four (Burned out), let it go,” Drake raps. “Ye ain’t changin’ shi*t for me, it’s set in stone / Rollin’ stones, heavy stones (PinkGrillz) / Precious stone, let me make my presence known.” The apparent re-emergence of their beef delighted Rick Ross, who said, “I love it.”
