Michael Lamar White IV[1] (born June 18, 1999), known professionally as Trippie Redd, is an American rapper, and singer-songwriter. His debut mixtape, A Love Letter to You (2017) was released by Elliot Grainge's 10K Projects and entered the Billboard 200, while its lead single, "Love Scars" received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[6] The following year, he released his debut studio album Life's a Trip (2018) and the mixtape's sequel; their singles, "Dark Knight Dummo" (featuring Travis Scott), "Taking a Walk", and "Topanga" each entered the Billboard Hot 100.[7] The album and its follow-up, ! (2019)[8] both reached the top five of the Billboard 200, while his fourth mixtape, A Love Letter to You 4 (2019) topped the chart.[9] His third and fourth albums Pegasus (2020) and Trip at Knight (2021), both peaked at number two on the Billboard 200.[10] The latter's lead single, "Miss the Rage" (with Playboi Carti), peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains his highest-charting song. White's fifth album, Mansion Musik (2023), peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, while his sixth mixtape, A Love Letter to You 5 (2024), peaked at number 13.

White has released the album Neon Shark vs Pegasus (2021) – a deluxe reissue of Pegasus – in collaboration with American punk rock drummer Travis Barker. He has also released the collaborative extended play (EP), Genre: Sadboy (2024), with fellow Ohio-based rapper MGK.
