United States - April 13, 2023 —

American rapper and internet personality Robbie Tripp is making waves and generating chatter online once again, this time with the release of his latest single and its shocking music video: “BASIC BRO”.
Tripp has been releasing musical fusion and creative content since 2019 and leads his creative conglomerate Desert Money out of Las Vegas, Nevada as an independent artist and digital entrepreneur. He refers to his latest creative project “BASIC BRO” as a “demon time creation” and shared he had been working on it since October 2022. The viral rapper and content creator had been promoting the single and its corresponding visuals to his worldwide following on social media for months leading up to its release. The exclusive behind-the-scenes snippets scattered across Tripp’s large social media platforms showed Tripp in a sleeveless red Prada puffer vest and jewelry, wearing red leather pants and “Cherry” Jordan 11s moonwalking as he cryptically introduced himself as the “Vanilla Thriller.” On March 31, 2023, “BASIC BRO” went live on worldwide platforms, and the polarizing music video quickly reached half a million views on Tripp’s official YouTube channel. Clips from Tripp’s music video were quickly reposted by major rap/hip-hop publications such as WorldStarHipHop, RapTV, No Jumper, and Say Cheese TV and generated millions of views and reactions online.
Robbie Tripp has been known to create quite a stir in internet culture, ever since his equally famous and infamous “curvy wife” viral Instagram post catapulted Tripp’s platform of creative content and his unique brand of body positivity into international conversation. Recently, Tripp’s viral female-friendly single “Big Girl Banger” took TikTok by storm, with Tripp’s viral hashtag #BigGirlBanger generating hundreds of millions of views on the popular video-sharing app. With over 2 Million streams on Spotify last year alone, Robbie Tripp is a writer turned content creator turned music artist who has undeniably demonstrated an ability to create viral moments in internet culture.
“BASIC BRO” is Tripp’s latest creative project, consisting of a darkly-catchy new single and an energetic music video production to entertain his global fan base on social media. The artist revealed to his fans while promoting the visuals that it is “the latest and greatest installment in this dream-fueled art project that is my life.” The music video notably stars Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Ella Halikas as the video’s main starlet. Halikas is a social media celebrity in her own right with 700k followers on TikTok, where she spreads body positivity and female empowerment with her signature “CEO of confidence” messaging for her fans. While the explosive single and music video shows Robbie Tripp’s first major departure from his popular body positive pop rap anthems, the casting of international curve model Halikas continued the celebration of the curvy muse that has become a theme in Tripp’s productions.
Robbie Tripp shares “BASIC BRO” is the first of several projects he will be releasing in 2023. “I’m charged up on a dream,” Tripp says from his Desert Money Headquarters in Las Vegas. “Brick by brick I’m building my dreams into reality and I’m filled to the brim with a violently positive creative energy in pursuit of my destiny as a high level creator, curator, and connoisseur of musical fusion and visual vibes.”
