Born in Pittsburgh and raised in Atlanta, Traé Scott began writing music at 14 through his love of poetry. Over two decades later, he has developed a sound built on honest storytelling, introspective lyricism and feel-good hip-hop.

As the founder of Ill Abstract Minds, Traé creates from authentic experience with one belief at the center of his work: “The process itself is the masterpiece.” His music explores perseverance, purpose, relationships, legacy and personal growth—giving listeners something they can feel, relate to and carry with them.
