Born and raised in Shreveport, LA, Troof gained a love for the art of rap and lyricism at the age of 16. His older brother was a local rap artist and was well known around his community so there were big shoes to fill.

At the age of 19, Troof joined a local up and coming hip hop group named Good Fella Crew. They released their debut mixtape in 2010 which allowed them to promote the group all around the Texas and Louisiana area. This generated a buzz for themselves via YouTube videos and as well the local hip hop market in their hometown.

By 2011, the group decided break away to allow each member to pursue their own solo projects. Being a part of the brotherhood of the Good Fella Crew, the group also featured on each other’s mixtapes which kept a piece of the “Good Fella Magic” alive. Troof dropped his first solo mixtape, which is available on bandcamp.com, Glad 2 B Slept On, in December 2011 and it immediately flooded the streets. People were intrigued by his hip hop style and east coast flow that came out of this southern lyricist. Being from the south, this was next to unheard of.

In April 2012 Troof teamed up with local rapper “JC” and released “Memoirs of a Black and White Nation” also available on bandcamp.com. This mixtape brought a new swagger to the young MC. It was political but playful, lyrical, witty, and only enhanced the “gentleman-like” style and flow we are used to hearing from the lyricist.

His highly anticipated EP, “The Donation” was released on July 7, 2015 and is available from streaming and purchase on ALL digital media outlets.
