A Love Letter to You 3
Trippie Redd
Trippie Redd has often been pegged as one of the leaders of so-called emo-rap—his vocals range from sung to caterwauled, his lyrics delve into the dark sides of love, drugs, and mental health, and he’s released songs featuring him singing over unaccompanied electric and acoustic guitars. The Ohio rapper’s new mixtape, A Love Letter to You 3, takes the burgeoning subgenre closer to one of its logical conclusions: pop. Like its two predecessors, both released in 2017, the project was written after a breakup, which it often addresses head-on. But the sound is lighter, more melodic, and much more hopeful—a far cry from the distorted, SoundCloud-centric music that first gained Trippie fame. The first single, “Topanga,” named after a bucolic Los Angeles enclave known for hills, hiking, and hippies, might be his most joyful song yet. Trippie tells Apple Music about his love life, depression, and oversharing.
