Music Crowns is proud to exclusively premiere 4 Years Later, the long-awaited collaborative album from pioneering Irish alternative hip-hop artist Tracy Grimm (formerly LG4 Trey) and rising Cork City sensation bgboi. A fearless and genre-defying project, 4 Years Later is a striking testament to artistic growth, raw vulnerability, and the boundless possibilities of modern hip-hop.
This joint venture is more than just a collaboration—it’s a fusion of two visionary forces reshaping the alternative rap landscape. With Tracy’s emotionally searing lyricism and bgboi’s forward-thinking production, the album stands as a 50/50 creative effort, capturing the evolution of two artists who have carved their own paths through life and music.
From the first track to the last, 4 Years Later taps into a deep well of emotion while also delivering the kind of soundscapes perfect for getting lost in. Sonically rooted in emo rap, trap, plugg, and emo trap, the album draws influence from genre icons like Juice WRLD, Lil Peep, Brennan Savage, and SoFaygo—yet it never imitates. Instead, Tracy and bgboi have developed a voice uniquely their own, marked by gritty honesty and fearless experimentation.
Tracks like “FLOAT”, “STONE”, and “10K” illustrate the emotional spectrum of the project, moving from meditative introspection to euphoric, haze-filled highs. The storytelling throughout is potent and purposeful, especially for Tracy Grimm, who uses this release as a reflection on the trials, transformations, and triumphs he’s experienced since launching his career in 2016.
Now based in Berlin, Tracy’s musical journey—from his beginnings in Cork’s underground scene to becoming one of the most compelling voices in alternative hip-hop—is woven deeply into every verse. His signature scythe tattoo, a symbol of mortality and perseverance, mirrors the themes explored across the album: growth, resilience, and the struggle to stay afloat in a world that often pulls you under.
Joining him is bgboi, a fellow Cork native and key member of the LG4 collective, who brings an equally gripping energy to the project. With a SoundCloud debut that quickly racked up over 30,000 plays, bgboi’s melodic, rapid-fire delivery and genre-bending beats position him as one of Ireland’s most promising young talents. On 4 Years Later, his production doesn’t just support the narrative—it drives it forward, challenging conventions and pushing sonic boundaries.
The tracklist includes:
- 4 LIFE
- 10K
- PULLUPINSIDE
- SILENTO
- STONE
- MORE HIGH V2
- FLOAT
Each song offers something different—whether you’re looking for cathartic confessionals or tracks to kick back and vibe to, this album delivers.
With 4 Years Later, Tracy Grimm and bgboi have delivered a powerful statement of intent: this is alternative hip-hop reimagined, reframed, and re-energized. Music Crowns is honored to premiere this project and spotlight two artists not just breaking the mold—but building a new one entirely.
