NoTrace

Minneapolis

Creating something out of absolutely nothing "NoTrace doesn’t front with a lot of brash talk, lusty imagery and shocking statements about wealth, violence or misogyny. He straight up counsels a generation of troubled, disgruntled youth, leaving trite superficialities like race, gender and creed out of the picture and replacing them with simple truths like love, kinship, finding your inner-strength and employing wit and wisdom over weapons and warfare as a means of discovering your place in this world". Emerging with a fresh, forward thinking spin on hip-hop that draws creative energy from elements of pop, classic R&B, and dance music – and everyone from his iconic childhood influence Tupac, to his family relatives The Emotions - the multi-talented Chicago born, Minnesota based artist NoTrace came up with his sly moniker one day in a freestyle. He’s a quiet and reserved “Empath” by nature, But when NoTrace gets on the mic, he’s a master storyteller, rapping, rhyming and putting together tracks that brace to the heart and galvanize the spirit. After months of vibing in the studio with some of pop and Hip Hop's Talented producers, NoTrace drops his powerhouse debut EP in 2020.
