Tracy Grimm, bgboi ‘4 Years Later’ – out now!
Tracy Grimm and bgboi have officially raised the bar for Irish alternative hip-hop with the release of their bold and emotionally charged collaborative album, 4 Years Later. Blending elements of emo rap, trap, plugg, and alternative hip-hop, the project showcases both artists at their most vulnerable and creatively ambitious. For Tracy, formerly known as LG4 Trey, it’s a milestone that reflects on his artistic journey since launching his career in 2016. Now based in Berlin, his evolution is clear—and 4 Years Later serves as both a time capsule and a statement of intent.
The 10-track album captures a compelling balance between raw emotion and slick, forward-thinking production. Tracy’s introspective lyricism—often exploring themes of grief, growth, and resilience—pairs perfectly with bgboi’s experimental beats, which range from lo-fi melancholia to hazy trap atmospheres.
bgboi, a rising name in Cork’s underground scene and a member of the LG4 collective, proves he’s far more than just a producer. His melodic sensibilities and rapid-fire flows add a youthful edge to the album, creating moments of tension, beauty, and catharsis. Starting his recording journey at just 15, bgboi’s growth is evident across the project—making this release not just a highlight for him but a breakthrough for the broader Irish alt-rap community.
With 4 Years Later, Tracy Grimm and bgboi have delivered a genre-blurring collaboration that pushes beyond regional boundaries. More than just a collection of tracks, it’s a reflective, emotionally charged record that paints a vivid picture of two artists navigating personal transformation through music. As Ireland’s underground hip-hop scene continues to gain momentum, this project stands as a defining moment for the culture.
