TRIP STAR was born as Nate Lucas Jr. TRIP STAR is from the DMV area Montgomery County, Rockville Md to be exact, right outside of DC. He grew up in a home with a father that is a musician. At the age of 9 TRIP STAR started his musical journey by going to his father’s band rehearsals and he would write lyrics and rap on the mic. Eventually he became a rapper in his father’s Band 1LUV and would rap at outdoor events in Washington DC and surrounding areas. TRIP STAR quickly developed a fan base with other children and grownups doing the years of performing with his father’s Band. TRIP STAR started rapping because in his childhood music era there were a lot of adolescent rappers such as Bow Wow, Romeo etc. So he figured why not. TRIP STAR has a versatile style. He was inspired by a diverse variety of genres and artists of all sorts. He considers his sound to be the pulse of a movement. TRIP STAR has a way of telling stories in his song writing that captures everyone's attention. He writes about what others can relate to and his life experiences. He realized that he had a niche in 9th grade after freestyling. I often found myself as the life of the cypher. Musically I am inspired by my dad Go-Go Bouncey because he was the one who kept music in my face at all times. As for rappers I'd say 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Bad Boy Records from the 90's, Juvenile and Kanye West. Recently TRIP STAR has been getting radio air play on TMOTTGOGO, WINDCRADIO, and GoGoRadioLive. He is also endorsing a Clothing Line called DCLOM “DC Loyalty Over Money”. TRIP STAR will be releasing his new single "Last Call" spring 2016. Last Call will be featuring Lil Capp who is on Waka Flocka’s hit song O Let’s Do It and the well-known DMV artist 1200 MONEY. TRIP STAR is also working on his Debut Album “The Switch Up”.
