South African rapper and songwriter TRP ("The Rap Prodigy") emerged as a teenage force few had encountered on the music scene in the late 2010s. His prodigious talent mesmerising audiences across the Cape Town hip hop landscape, despite being under the legal age for most venues he was shutting down. Co-signs from some of the city's hottest MCs would soon follow. As of 2024, TRP has a list of accomplishments that includes three No.1 records on national radio (5FM & Metro FM), as well as regular music video rotation on Channel O and MTV Base. His 2023 release, “Chapman’s Peak Drive”, reached #1 on the 5FM Hip Hop Chart in October 2023, and featured prominently on Goodhope FM. Drawing inspiration from a range of musical and cultural influences - some of the biggest being JAY-Z, Lil Wayne, AKA, football culture and the WWE - TRP Don Gy has crafted a "unique sonic blend of modern alternative and classic rap" (Vending Machine, 2023), delivered with lyrical precision that only a true craftsman of the genre can execute. Combining an effortless flow, vivid storytelling and melodic sensibility, TRP’s music captures the essence of the ‘Beauty & the Beast’ duality that represents the nature of his hometown.
