Read moreTree – Trap Genius [Album]
The highly-anticipated project has been ceaselessly teased over the last month and a half with a seemingly neverending list of singles and videos and today steps out to the world with Noisey. Alongside the project release is the premiere of his latest video for the lead single off the project, “Don’t Een Kare” and a write up from Ernest Wilkins who talked with Tree one-on-one about the creation of an album that pulls from the artist’s experiences growing up in Chicago’s vaunted Cabrini-Green Projects and the life that followed after they were demolished. Utilizing his raspy, pained vocals Tree takes listeners to his part of town, demonstrating the ways he was able to escape his circumstances when many didn’t, hence the name ‘TrapGenius’.

Read moreTree – Milk Chin [Video]
Off of Tree’s upcoming “Trap Genius” project. If you’ve met Tree or caught him in a video somewhere on the internet you’re probably familiar with the distinctive patch of pale skin just below his lower lip. As a kid growing up in Chicago the birthmark was a cause of anger and insecurity as he was picked on for the off-set spot on his face. At this point though, grown and matured, Tree sees the mark that used to bring him angst as a source of pride and flexes appropriately here in his latest video for the aptly-titled “Milk Chin”. As Tree puts it himself “I got my money up and I’m able to embrace what I once thought was a hindrance. Now, at 30, I can make a song and video focused on my birth mark.”
