Wilmington, North Carolina — Wilmington’s own Trxp9k is joining forces with Maine artist 2FromTheVale and national rap star Kodak Black for the upcoming “Trust Issue” Remix, creating a cross-regional collaboration connecting Maine, the 910, and the wider hip-hop landscape.
The record brings together three distinct artists from very different backgrounds, with Trxp9k representing Wilmington’s growing 910 scene and 2FromTheVale bringing his Maine roots to a collaboration featuring Kodak Black.
For 2FromTheVale, the remix represents another major step in expanding beyond Maine. His connection with Trxp9k and HC9K has helped create a bridge between Maine’s independent music scene and Wilmington’s increasingly active artist community.
Meanwhile, Wilmington’s own Trxp9k continues building his presence as both an artist and the CEO behind HC9K, developing music, artists, entertainment opportunities, media, and live events throughout the region.
FROM MAINE TO WILMINGTON
The story behind “Trust Issue” is bigger than a traditional feature.
Maine meets Wilmington. Wilmington meets Kodak Black.
2FromTheVale brings the perspective of an artist developing his career outside one of the traditional hip-hop industry hubs, while Trxp9k represents Wilmington and the 910 as he continues pushing the city into bigger conversations.
With Kodak Black attached to the remix, the collaboration creates a national-facing moment for both independent artists.
A MOMENT FOR THE 910
For Wilmington, collaborations like this can help demonstrate the talent and ambition developing within the city’s independent music ecosystem.
Trxp9k’s involvement puts the 910 directly into that conversation while giving 2FromTheVale an opportunity to bring his Maine audience along for the ride.
