Atlanta-raised and church-shaped, Tramaine Long is a minister, rapper, producer, mixing engineer—and a testament to sticking with the craft. 

He started with FL Studio and a $20 mic, spent years sounding like everyone else, and then did the hard work to sound like himself. 

We talk about the DJ Drama-era lesson (influence ≠ imitation), vocal coaching and production reps, and how he treats AI (Suno) as a workflow accelerator—not a replacement for skill. 

Tramaine opens up about the dream that sparked his album “Legendary” (“It’s time for you to be legendary”) and the indie discipline behind a release that cleared 300K+ streams in its first three days. If you’re building a catalog and a life at the same time—this one’s for you.
