Truth, one of hip hop cultures key components and what allows this art to shine a light on an otherwise overlooked culture. A culture that turns its struggles into triumph but so many times the struggle gets embellished and the truth becomes compromised. Enter Triflon, the truest, an artist with a diversity all his own and a non-compromising self awareness that is second to none.
Coming out of the westside of Panorama City, CA. Michael Goode aka Triflon grew up in a reality that was bitter sweet to say the least. I had it all in my family, he states, From the legit to the crooked, from the church going to the banged out and thats the reality that has always surrounded me. Trife started banging at an early age but his focus on sports was what kept him grounded, once high school ended and that outlet was no longer available his focus switched to the streets. My focus was all wrong for a while but when I got back into doing this music, things became a lot clearer, Trife says.
In the beginning of his music career Trife was one of the founding members of the multi-talented group The Street Chiefs. They released an independent album which did well and received recognition locally and with in the industry, while performing at different venues including the then very popular television show FarmClub.com. When the group ended up not working out he turned his focus to his own career. I knew I brought quality to the game and had to keep my focus, stated Trife.
Triflon went on to release his own solo album In Position for Victory. He marketed and distributed the album independently which landed him a distribution deal with 101 Distribution. He has also released two mixtapes; West Coast Movement Vol1 and Destroy and Rebuild Vol2 along with being featured on a slew of different mixtapes such as Boss of All Bosses Vol1 hosted by DJ Artillary of the Cali Untouchables and The Goldrush Mixtape hosted by DJ Lagger and produced by Voski. I grind cause thats what the streets respect, what the game needs and its all I know, states Trife. That grind earned him features in True Magazine and two issues of Rime Magazine, two well known urban publications, as well as acclaims from well known artist such as Kanye West, Common, LT Hutton and Mac 10. He has also opened shows for the likes of Mr. Cheeks and the Lost Boys, Naughty by Nature, Devin tha Dude and DJ Quick.Contact
