Meet Trapkingkai

 

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Trapkingkai. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Trapkingkai below.

Hi Trapkingkai, so excited to talk about all sorts of important topics with you today. The first one we want to jump into is about being the only one in the room – for some that’s being the only person of color or the only non-native English speaker or the only non-MBA, etc Can you talk to us about how you have managed to be successful even when you were the only one in the room that looked like you?

it’s essential to stay confident in your unique skills and perspectives. Focus on your own growth instead of comparing yourself to others. Listen more and observe before speaking, as this helps you make well-informed contributions and decisions.
It’s also important to embrace and showcase your individuality, letting your distinct strengths shine. By maintaining confidence and being true to yourself, you can make a significant impact, regardless of any differences.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

As a hip-hop artist, I’ve quickly made a name for myself with my fresh and distinctive sound. I’ve been following my journey closely, and it’s clear that my approach to hip-hop is both innovative and captivating. I skillfully blend traditional hip-hop elements with modern trap influences. This fusion creates a unique sonic experience that sets me apart from many of my peers

In my tracks, I delve into themes that are both personal and relatable. My lyrics often reflect on personal struggles, the relentless pursuit of success, and the highs and lows of the hustle. This honest and introspective approach makes my music resonate deeply with a wide audience, offering a blend of vulnerability and strength.

What’s particularly striking about my work is my ability to combine compelling storytelling with infectious beats. My energetic performances further amplify my presence, making each track not just a song but an experience. As I continue to rise in the industry, it’s clear that my unique style and creative vision are setting me up to be a major player in the contemporary hip-hop scene. If you’re not already familiar with my work, it’s definitely worth checking out

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

1. *Authenticity*: I remain true to my unique style and vision, creating music that genuinely reflects who I am. This authenticity forges a strong connection with my audience and distinguishes me in the industry.

2. *Creativity*: By blending diverse styles and genres, I bring a fresh perspective to my music. This innovative approach allows me to craft distinctive sounds and continually evolve as an artist.

3. *Resilience*: Facing criticism and challenges head-on, I use these experiences as motivation to improve and persevere. My resilience helps me navigate the evolving music landscape and achieve my ambitions.

My honest advice is to never give up and always go with your gut. Also always be consistent no matter what you do.

Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?

*The 48 Laws of Power* by Robert Greene.

This booked helped me developed as an artist by enhancing strategic thinking with laws like “Never Outshine the Master” and “Conceal Your Intentions.
By improving power dynamics through laws such as “Make Those Above You Feel More Important” and “Crush Your Enemy Totally,” and supporting self-preservation with “Play a Sucker to Catch a Sucker” and “Enter Action with Boldness.”
My Adaptability was learned by “Be Royal in Your Own Fashion” and “Play on People’s Need to Believe,” while mental toughness is reinforced by “Do Not Commit to Anyone” and “Know Who You’re Dealing With.”
