Editor's review
This L.A. MC's debut sure doesn't sound like one. Making the most of lush, nostalgic production served up by a dream team of SoCal indie boardmen (Evidence, Rhettmatic, and others), Trek's style emerges as both brazen and sweet, and is blissfully aware of its geography.
Biography
Timeless Music / KSD Music is proud to release Trek Life's debut album Price I've Paid. Well known for his aggressive delivery and straightforward lyrics, as well as his diverse subject matter and lyrical style, Trek Life displays his versatility on Price I've Paid. He engages the listener by using subjects ranging from moving from the hood to the suburbs, to the daily struggle of paying bills. His views are delivered with raw rhymes and natural emotion, commanding the listener's attention from beginning to end.
Trek's style is complemented by the proficient production of veteran beat conductors: Evidence (Dilated Peoples), Babu (Dilated Peoples/Beat Junkies), Rhettmatic (Visionaries/Beat Junkies), DJ Khalil (Self Scientific/Aftermath), and J Thrill, as well as strong up and comers: Kev Sakoda (Timeless/StepFam), DJ 360 (Timeless/StepFam), J. Bizness (K.O. Incorporated), Just Beats (Move.meant/StepFam), and Diverse (WarDoggz).
"Once you listen to him speak he definitely feels like that cool around the way cat who you knew had a fascination for music, and was going to do anything possible to make sure his style would be heard."
- John Book (musicforamerica.com)
"The man is hungry on the mic, and this sentiment has translated nicely onto Price I've Paid...The production matches the mood, with track minded archivists such as Evidence and Babu from Dilated Peoples and DJ Rhettmatic of the Beat Junkies. There is an abundance of samples, a blanket of horns and guitars, like the way Pete Rock sounded a decade ago." - Graham Funke (Scion Magazine)
