TRIBE MAFIA Is Keeping Up With the Trends

 

Tribe Mafia is a hip-hop duo hailing from Austin, Texas. Their style of music is well diverse: you can go from Hip-hop, Latin-trap, Dancehall, Rock to Funk. What makes them unique is their sense of hometown pride as they say: “A lot of artists tend to forget to uplift other locals as they are rising to the top. Our mindset has always been to feed the empire that helped planted the seed to your existing growth. Name a local artist that toured across the country with Akon, debuted a music video on MTV, and still helps their fellow peers.” 

Oh, and every song on their album releases sounds like a hot single. Here we go!

gigmit: Hi Tribe Mafia, what’s that sound?

Tribe Mafia: The type of sound Tribe Mafia creates is southern rap, dancehall, pop, and reggaeton. If you like Swae Lee, Post Malone, Drake, Bad Bunny, and Juice WRLD then you came to the right place.

We started rapping at the age of 15. We received inspiration from our two most favorite emcee’s such as Drake and Lil Wayne. Whenever we’d listen to their use of metaphors and wordplay it make us want to bring out the notepad and start composing new music.

What is success?

Everyone’s definition of success should be different as we all have our own caliber of expectations. For us, success is success if we’re able to get closer to our goal. As long as you create a list of short-term and long-term goals, your way of measuring success can be deliberated accordingly.
