Born in Philly, raised in Philly and the heart of Delaware, with some time in Memphis TN as well, DatNiccaTrendz is bringing raw emotion and authentic storytelling back to hip-hop. With a voice that cuts through beats like a blade and lyrics that balance pain, purpose, and power, Trendz represents the new era of reality rap, unfiltered, soulful, and unapologetically real.

His latest project, The Age of Vulnerability, showcases a new level of artistry, fusing melodic trap with introspective lyricism. Each track peels back another layer of his journey — from personal losses and street lessons to self-growth and redemption.

Influenced by East Coast grit but carved from his own lane, DatNiccaTrendz stands out for his versatility, switching effortlessly between motivational bars, melodic hooks, and gritty narratives that reflect real life. His energy commands attention, but his vulnerability keeps listeners locked in.

More than just a rapper, Trendz is a movement, a voice for those grinding through the struggle, evolving through pain, and daring to be authentic in a world that rewards the fake.

Follow DatNiccaTrendz on all platforms and witness the rise of a new legend in the making.

Monte Ray (born May, 26th, 1991 in Lexington, North Carolina) is a phenomenal American R&B singer/songwriter, record producer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, and graphic artist. Founder of the media company StarPower Entertainment (along with co-founder Shar Thomas) Monte Ray has produced singles for a number of unsigned and independent artists in genres such as R&B, Hip-hop, and Rap. From 2005–2008, he had his most singer success on the social network Myspace with his hit promo single “Like You”. The years 2008-2010 he continued only to make singles that were always hits every time he put one out such as “High and Drunk”. Monte Ray’s debut EP, The Freshman Volume 1 (2011), features the songs "Break U Off," "Earthquake," and "Deep Sea Diving". He then went on to drop another promo EP the same year that was entitled The Laptop Muzik Project (2011) which included the songs “The One”, “Majestic”, and “Light It Up”. Monte Ray has yet to drop an official album but has continued to prove himself as one of the most talented and incredible artists in the art of R&B. We all know that an album has been long overdue and I for one can’t wait until his first official album is out. It will be one to remember, even in the record books. "I thank God for giving me this gift and will continue to use it to the best of my ability. Staying humble and visualizing your success is key to achieving all goals in life". #MonteRay
