Translee – “Who is Translee?”

Translee Unveils “Who’s Translee” Mixtape, Cementing His Rising Status in Hip-Hop

Emerging from the vibrant Atlanta hip-hop scene, Translee is quickly making a name for himself with the release of his latest mixtape, “Who’s Translee.” Following the success of his debut, “Know Translee,” this project solidifies his position as a rising force in the industry. With a mix of lyrical depth, smooth flows, and engaging beats, Translee is proving why his music resonates with a growing audience.

The Evolution from “Know Translee” to “Who’s Translee”

After the widespread acclaim of his debut mixtape, “Know Translee,” fans and critics alike were eager to see what the Huntsville, AL native would bring next. According to Translee, “Who’s Translee” represents a natural evolution of his artistry. “The rapping got better, the bars got better, and the production got better,” he explains. The project, which dropped on October 10, 2011, is executive-produced by Chris Hunter and features production from the likes of Todd Marshall, Mr. Hanky, and Hunger from L.A.

In addition, the project is hosted by Cory B, from the Hoodrich DJs. By getting one of Atlanta’s biggest DJs and mixtape figures, Translee made a major statement. Currently, he’s a rising star who is working to establish himself. So far, he’s making the right moves, along with having the right people in his corner.

A Blend of Hip-Hop & R&B Influences

One of the defining characteristics of “Who’s Translee” is its ability to blend hip-hop lyricism with R&B elements. Featuring 23 tracks, the mixtape explores a range of styles while maintaining a cohesive sound. According to Translee, collaborations with singers like Eddy Fontane, Truth Turner, and Stuey Rock helped to craft an emotional and immersive listening experience.

“I have a lot of singing on this mixtape,” Translee shares. “It has an R&B feel, but I made sure it still had that hip-hop energy. I actually had to remove one song because it was becoming too R&B.”

This mixtape caps a huge year for Translee, who’s already worked with Mr. Collipark, a major figure on Atlanta’s hip-hop scene. As a result, his mixtape is getting a lot of attention.

Translee & Mr. Collipark

Currently, Translee is generating a lot of interest. After all, his work with Mr. Collipark is not just as simple as a collaboration. Instead, Translee is the latest artist Mr. Collipark is working with. Collipark’s work with Translee proves that he is a versatile producer.

In his career, Mr. Collipark has worked with all kinds of artists. However, the one thing they’ve all had in common is the city of Atlanta. Initially, Collipark rose to fame for his work with Ying Yang Twins, which resulted in successful, platinum, singles.

Following his success with Ying Yang Twins, Collipark worked with Hurricane Chris. Actually, he was instrumental in his success. Later that same year, Collipark signed Soulja Boy. When Soulja Boy had the success of “Crank Dat,” he was signed to Collipark’s label, Collipark Music.

Translee comes in as the latest offering from that musical family tree. However, he’s made it clear to anyone who’ll listen that he’s nothing like the other artists Collipark has worked with. In fact, he’s going out of his way to prove this with his “Who’s Translee” mixtape.

Standout Tracks & Collaborations

“Who’s Translee” is packed with a variety of tracks, each offering something unique to listeners. Among the most notable songs are:

• “Does Anybody Love” (feat. Eddy Fontane) – An introspective track that showcases Translee’s ability to weave storytelling with melody.
• “Hell Yeah” (feat. Mykko Montana & Solace) – A club-ready anthem that blends confidence and catchy hooks.
• “Overload” (feat. Eddy Fontane) – A smooth and polished record that highlights his versatility.
• “Morning Sun” – A track that delivers uplifting energy and positivity.

In addition to working with singers, Translee tapped into Atlanta’s underground scene with features from Gorilla Zoe and Stuey Rock on “My Phone,” a bonus track that is already generating buzz.

Building a Movement, Not Just a Fanbase

For Translee, music isn’t just about creating songs—it’s about building a connection with listeners. His grassroots approach, focusing on both online branding and street branding, has helped him establish an authentic and engaged following.

“There’s no label or industry exec that can help you if the people aren’t moving with you,” he explains. “I go after the people first, and I try to put my music where people aren’t looking.” This strategy has led to organic growth, with fans from New York to California discovering and supporting his music.

Influences & Aspirations

Translee’s musical influences are wide-ranging, drawing inspiration from both hip-hop legends and unexpected sources. “Don’t laugh, but Immature was my favorite group when I was younger,” he admits. “They were young guys talking about grown-up things, and that’s when I fell in love with music.”

When asked about where he sees himself in the industry, Translee doesn’t shy away from aiming high. “I put myself in the same box as the greats—Michael Jackson and The Beatles. If we’re talking about hip-hop, then Jay-Z is at the highest level, and that’s where I want to be.”

The Future of Translee

Looking ahead, Translee has no intention of slowing down. His focus remains on growing his brand, making timeless music, and putting his people in a position to win.

“I don’t see success happening any other way,” he says. “In five years, I hope to be rapping about being rich, not just the grind. But my music will always reflect my truths.”

As “Who’s Translee” continues to gain traction, it’s clear that this rising artist is not just another rapper—he’s a visionary. With raw talent, an independent mindset, and a growing fanbase, Translee is well on his way to leaving an impact on the hip-hop industry.

Final Thoughts

Translee’s latest project is a must-listen for fans of lyrical hip-hop with a modern, melodic twist. “Who’s Translee” answers the question posed by his latest mixtape—Translee is an artist destined for longevity.

With his debut mixtape, he had a statement, “Know Tranlsee.” Now, with his second mixtape, he’s asking those who remembered him from before, “Who’s Translee?”
