Atlanta-based artist Nevafold has consistently brought an authentic and captivating energy to his music, and his latest project, T.R.P (This Run Personal), continues this tradition with even greater focus and passion. In this project, Nevafold reflects on his personal journey, aiming to show listeners where he came from, the life he has lived, and the emotions he’s experienced along the way. With the release of this project, Nevafold is determined to deliver his best work yet.
The Inspiration Behind “T.R.P”
The name T.R.P—which stands for This Run Personal—stems from a personal realization Nevafold had about his artistic journey. After recognizing a lack of consistency in his work, he knew it was time to refocus and get back on track. This project marks a return to form, with Nevafold putting his heart into the music, ensuring fans feel the emotions that shaped his experiences.
When asked what this project means to him, Nevafold expressed that it’s deeply significant, representing his best work to date. “I feel like this will be my best work so far. I think this is going to show major growth from my older music.” For Nevafold, T.R.P isn’t just another release—it’s a testament to his growth and evolution as an artist.
Tracks and Themes
T.R.P consists of 12 to 13 tracks, each offering a unique glimpse into Nevafold’s world. The overall theme of the project centers around life’s ups and downs, as Nevafold shares his story, giving listeners a raw and unfiltered look into his personal experiences.
While creating the album, Nevafold made sure to infuse his music with the emotions he’s lived through. He wants his audience to not only hear the music but to feel it on a deeper level. “I want people to feel where I came from and the life I lived,” he explains. This theme is especially evident in tracks like “My Side,” which offers fans a rare glimpse into his emotional side, something he’s rarely shared in previous projects.
The Creative Process
Originally, Nevafold planned for T.R.P to be an EP, but his desire to deliver more to his fans pushed him to expand it into a full-length album. “It took me about a month to create the project because it was just going to be an EP, but then I felt like I owed the fans more.” His dedication to his craft shines through in the project, as he took time to experiment with new sounds and flows, resulting in a more diverse and dynamic album.
As a college student balancing his studies with his rap career, time management proved to be one of the biggest challenges Nevafold faced while working on T.R.P. However, he stayed committed, finding ways to make time for his passion. “Being a college student and a rapper isn’t the easiest thing to do,” Nevafold admits, but his determination to succeed kept him grounded and focused.
Collaborations and Standout Tracks
Nevafold brought several talented artists on board to collaborate on T.R.P. The project features appearances from Babyunc, BMF Solo, Baby Mexico, and rapper/streamer JB. Working with these artists was an exciting and inspiring experience for Nevafold, as he got to see different work ethics and creative processes. “It was an interesting experience working with them and seeing different people’s work ethic and thought process.”
Of the many tracks on T.R.P, Nevafold points to “My Side” and “Problem Solver” as two standouts, each offering a completely different vibe and sound. These tracks are personal favorites for Nevafold, showcasing the experimentation and range he explored while creating the project.
Personal Inspiration and Themes
The inspiration behind T.R.P came from a mix of personal experiences and life events. Following a breakup, Nevafold realized that he wasn’t fully committed to his music and decided to lock back in, putting more effort into his craft. This period of reflection and focus became the driving force behind T.R.P, pushing Nevafold to produce his best work yet.
Fans will also get to see a different side of Nevafold with this project, especially on the track “My Side,” which delves deeper into his emotions and personal thoughts. As an artist often associated with his “street side,” Nevafold took this opportunity to show fans that there’s more to him than what they’ve heard before.
Visuals and Promotion
Alongside the release of T.R.P, Nevafold has plans for several music videos to accompany the project. “I plan on shooting three videos,” he says, teasing exciting visuals that will complement the music.
As for the artwork, Nevafold collaborated with artist Brian Murat to create the cover for T.R.P. The concept for the artwork was sparked by an unexpected text message Nevafold received after posting a snippet on Instagram, where someone criticized his music. This comment motivated him even more, inspiring the project’s striking cover art.
Looking Ahead
While there are no tour dates set in stone yet, Nevafold is working on putting together performances to support the release of T.R.P. In the meantime, he’s partnered with his collaborator, Justin, to execute a comprehensive promotion plan for the project.
Nevafold hopes that fans walk away from T.R.P feeling a deeper connection to his music. “I just hope they start to feel me a little bit more,” he says. With T.R.P, Nevafold is set to not only solidify his place in the music industry but also deepen the bond with his audience.
