Charlottesville, VA’s Trauma Tone became a standout talent among rising Southern street-rap producers at the turn of the 2020s. His work on YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s crossover hit “Cross Roads” made him an industry star, with an infectious beat leaning into the blues tradition implied by the song title. His range is evident across cuts from trap heavyweights like Migos and Yo Gotti and melodically minded up-and-comers like Money Man.
