Artist History Derived from poetry and creative writing, Trife began rapping at the early age of 15. This was heavily aided by street legends around his area which he had first hand experince with. Growing up in Rockland, a surburban country minutes from New York City, Trife watched the game with an outside view, yet was still able to stay true to himself and his lyrics as a developing artist. Teaming up with a disciplined and highly motivated internet squad (The Audioholics) and a more close to home "gang" called Sons Of Need (S.O.N.), Trife embarked on his still active mission on pursuing a profession in the music industry as an artist.
