Powder Springs’ very own Geek Boy Troy doesn’t run from himself. The twenty- six-year-old proudly proclaims of his "suburban rapper" status, and leans into the stereotype just enough to surprise listeners with his adeptness behind the mic. Known for his rapid-fire flow over bouncy instrumentals, he cites Chance the Rapper and other eclectic hip-hop acts as inspirations in addition to his father who was a rapper before him. Not only is he aware of others in the scene, he is no stranger to the technical aspects of the music-making process, graduating from SAE Atlanta with a degree in Audio Engineering. Mastering a sound he defines as "geek music," he is bringing a nerdy but noble sound to a new generation that appears to have an obsession with the over-exaggerated. While you may not have expected it, Geek Boy Troy just might be one of the south’s newest hip-hop underground kings in due time.
