Triple S, also known as Big Trip, is an emcee that has been working around the Milwaukee Hip-Hop scene primarily in a backing role as the right hand man of SPEAK Easy, up until recently when he released his own solo project known as "The Manifesto EP."
He immediately addresses the issue of some people seeing him as being just a hype-man on the first track, aptly named "Synopsis." The EP features SPEAK Easy on three different tracks, which continues to show their depth as artistic partners, in addition to being very close friends.
The project showcases every side of Trip, to give you a snapshot of what he brings when he's on his own. He gives you a little backpack style lyricism on some cuts, braggadocio on others, a little humor, and even gets Gerald Levert with his rhymes so that the ladies aren't left out.
The beats that back the project are courtesy of Steve of GooniTunes, Dave Derrilykt and SPEAK Easy.
