Hailing from West Covina, CA, a suburb of Los Angeles, Trek Life is well known for his aggressive delivery, thought provoking lyrics, energetic shows, and ill DJ sets. His skills have given him the opportunity to work with various talented producers and emcees such as Babu, Evidence, Oddisee, Kev Brown and Khalil as well as host & DJ with QuestLove, Jazzy Jeff, Rhettmatic, and Cerritos All-stars. As Myspace’s official LA host, Trek Life has also opened, hosted, and DJ’ed for Nas, TI, & many more.
Trek Life’s debut album “Price I’ve Paid” received high reviews from several websites, magazines, and blogs and has allowed him the opportunity to tour the world from Seattle to Germany. Songs from the album were featured on popular MTV shows such as The Hills and G’s to Gents. “Price I’ve Paid” was recently remixed by DC’s own Oddisee and released in Japan and the US under the names “All Times” and “New Money” respectively. His second LP “Everything Changed Nothing” was released in Jan 2010, and was produced entirely by Oddisee. On the plate for 2012 is the new album “Hometown Foreigner”.
We saw the Hometown Foreigners cassette and thought that it would only be right to reach out to Trek and chop it up about his newest project.
