For the ones - Trevor Drako (Hip Hop) Trevor Drako joins the blog’s roster of artists this week with his latest track, “For the ones”, featuring TropDaVinci, which will feature on his upcoming EP “Trust No Body”. Based in Tampa Bay, Florida, Trevor is a genre-blending artists who pulls from inspiration ranging from Garth Brooks and Bob Seger to Eminem, Gucci Mane, Jeezy and 50 Cent. “For the ones” is an ode to those who’ve passed on, and the vulnerable vocal delivery indicates that this is still a raw subject for Trevor as he talks to someone close to him who has recently passed. The driving piano chords set the mood for the track, somber yet still somehow uplifting, as Trevor pours one out for the dearly departed. While you should support this song for its quality and emotional resonance alone, you can also support Trevor’s altruism, as he pledges 10% of his income towards autism awareness as a tribute to his brother.
