The video captures the trials and tribulations that come with the life 13 chose and portrays true events from his past.
At a young age, 13 has already lived a life time’s worth of challenges and hardships. Spending much of his teen years incarcerated over a robbery-gone-wrong that turned violent, Trey used the situation as a lesson and decided to reform his life. While incarcerated he graduated high school and accomplished several academic achievements. He received scholarships to multiple colleges in the greater Toronto area and took a liking towards music. Upon his release from jail 13 made a vow to devote his life to music and commit to doing whatever it takes to turn his life around
With a musical style that is reminiscent of the gangsta rap and street rappers from the early 2000’s, 13 has been compared to artists like 50 Cent and Nate Dogg while having recognizable influences in his sound from Jadakiss and Styles P to 2Pac and Big.
