    Artist History
    T.R.P. was formed in 1995 by Dilligence, Troopa, Deep, Ne Dubz and Sham, along with some other cats like Billy Bad Ass and Fase dropped out the race. Back in those days it was called MAD TRIP, and everyone recorded into a handheld mic with a sock over it, or if that one didnt work, an old 1940's CB mic filled in for it. Until 1999, all NME Mind, or TRP, had released was 60 minute demo tapes around the hood. The second wave of emcees was instigated by J-Nice (now known as Jado) who brought up MP and Kloud 9, and eventually his two uncles Rek and Dog. Dilligence was then introduced to Lu Chin Chen and Dunjen Kru (Dunjen, UWC, Kosha Dil) and others followed, some came and left, but TRP remained a strong unit, built a foundation project from the ground up, their only goals are their total freedom with their expressions,doing their own thing, while belonging to a large group. Not typical in this world, co-operation for mutual goals through comradery and friendship, but its working so far. Since then, T.R.P has released dozens of CDs, been included on outside projects such as bmx bike videos and movie soundtracks, while still finding time to commit tracks to other labels compilations. 2000 is the millenium of the NME, and it will be a long, strange TRP.

    Press Reviews
    "NME...solid concepts and performance upstart label s...east coast street sound...have their own(style)...NME could be onto something." BOSTON SOUNDCHECK MAGAZINE "From the beginning these cats had my head noddin' wit "We Ain't Alone". They posses a excellent back and forth flow in all the jointz. The tracks are reminiscent to Mobb Deep, with a Wu Tang type twist, while having a style of there own. The Dunjen is definitely spitting to uplift the youth. These kids are "Hungry" truly some next shit. This D.A.M CD is a must have... " DAM cd review on "THOSE DAM CD REVIEWS" mp3.com station" T.R.P is a good example of the new generation of hip hop artists using the internet to control their own destinies, bypassing traditional mediums for online independency" Suite101.com's S.
