Hailing from New York but now residing in San Diego, Joey Trap is here to bridge both the West Coast and East Coast. Going by @kloudgod on IG with over 100K followers, his rapper alias comes from his middle name Joseph, with TRAP standing for “take risks and prosper.” With his most recent visual, “Nemo,” which he directed himself, Joey is ready to upgrade from the underground scene to the mainstream light.

Speaking on the moment he knew this music thing was for real, he states, “When I got ‘TRAP’ tatted across my stomach. I made it mandatory that I was Joey Trap, and not just a regular person that has to make music. I had to be successful at it.”

Stay for the end as he eats not one, but TWO live goldfish on camera!
