It has taken on many identities and voices including youthful, real, gangsta, loving, joyous, and pain filled. As Hip-Hop matures there&#8217;s been a new rise of projects that celebrate adult themes and creating chill, feel good music. <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tre-dot.bandcamp.com\/album\/trilogy-of-dot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">The Trilogy of Dot<\/a><\/mark><\/strong> is a leading project in the Hip Hop culture that defines a new sound which emphasizes maturity through good music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-s41ti1103\">The Trilogy of Dot can be defined as &#8220;Boom Bap Soul&#8221; music. <a href=\"https:\/\/tredotmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>Tre-Dot<\/strong><\/mark><\/a> made sure when this project was in production that he gave the world his truth. The tracks deliver honest two-step vibes and storytelling lyrics that reveal a picture of his life weaved into music. On this project we get Tre-Dot&#8217;s heart, his struggles, faith, as well as the path he walks in the journey of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-4j94z2745\">The Trilogy of Dot is a mix of soulful vibes that gives music what it has been missing, and that is honesty. It opens with a tribute to the DJs. Then it details the artist&#8217;s growth in life, finding his purpose in music, and love. This project sets music lovers up for a glimpse into the soul of Tre-Dot and his passion for expressing himself with powerful lyrics. From the appreciation of life, to reflecting on family, and ending with acknowledging the blessings given to him while thanking God for the road being traveled. That sums up the realness of this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-u3k9z6274\">Many who grew up in the Hip Hop era are a reflection of the evolution of the culture. The music has led them from the street corner to the boardroom. The Trilogy of Dot is a project that will give the experienced ear the head nod of approval through the beats and truth being told. While the youthful ears may learn how to live and tell their story through music that comes from the soul, and not from the desire to only be heard. Real music inspires the growth of the listener, and this project will do that for everyone that hears it. Joy, pain, love, and repentance outline our lives, and now we have a project that can travel with us as we walk our own journey through rhythm and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-rdcng10553\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tre-dot.bandcamp.com\/album\/trilogy-of-dot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">The Trilogy of Dot<\/mark><\/a><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"> <\/mark><\/strong>is available on Bandcamp now.
