Alternative Hip Hop from Tre$o

Experimental hip hop sensation Tre$o is an innovative artist hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, representing his city with fierce loyalty. His musical talents shine through effortlessly with R&B melodic cadences and fast pace flows that leave listeners in awe. He draws influence from a diverse range of artists, from XXXTENTACION and Juice WRLD to Joey Bada$$, Mac Miller, Thundercat and Rex Orange County when making his highly original sound.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2019 with his debut single “Melodies,” Tre$o has been making waves with a series of well-received releases that have collectively clocked over a million streams on Spotify alone. Now, he presents his latest project, the full-length album titled V, featuring an impressive 23 tracks. This ambitious release showcases the artist’s unique take on the hip hop genre in all its glory.

V presents a musical journey packed with razor-sharp flows, driving beats and whirling electronic instrumentation, serving as Tre$o’s magnum opus. The album opens with “run it up,” a bright and instantly catchy alternative hip hop cut infused with R&B elements, demonstrating Tre$o’s remarkable command of melodic writing and slick vocal delivery.

Throughout the album, Tre$o treats listeners to memorable moments, such as the pounding bass synth shots and blistering vocal pace of “heavy” and the gritty electronic aesthetic of “hellboy.” “hollywood” offers a darker and driving energy, with laid-back vocal flow and spacey sonic atmosphere.

One highlight, “wrong side,” delves deep into Tre$o’s creativity, presenting a brooding hip hop outing driven by deep rumbling bass, snapping percussion and compelling vocal work. The album concludes with “vetements flow,” a fiercely rhythmic and energetic track adorned with kaleidoscopic synth-led instrumentation and catchy vocals, providing a fitting conclusion to the record.

Tre$o describes V as a performance album, comparable to the likes of notable records Trip at Knight, XTENDED, or NOSTYLIST. He named the project V to mark his fifth release, and his fanbase ‘555’ represents the number of change. The album reflects the pressure he felt in the world, stemming from challenges in relationships, career and life in general, pushing him towards emotions of anger, akin to a villain. The production predominantly features ambient and rage beats, peppered with dashes of classic trap beats, creating a project that caters to those seeking new age experimental rap.

In V, Tre$o showcases his extraordinary talent and passion for crafting boundary-pushing hip hop, confirming his position as an artist to watch in the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary music. The album’s variety of sounds and emotions, combined with Tre$o’s exceptional skills, make it a must-listen for fans of innovative and genre-blending hip hop. With each new release, Tre$o continues to prove his worth as an artist with a vision, and V is a remarkable addition to his impressive discography.
