Trai “Hoosier” Jones, 28 years old grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana in the heart of the “Land” on
29 th and Rader. Living with his grandmother he was surrounded by family at all times. Although
his family was broken, that is all he knew and could rely on. Growing up, music was always
playing, especially by his uncle. It gave him a sense of home , love and peace. His uncle
encouraged him to rap, but he was too shy. Hoosier’s mother was always there for him, but his
father was absent because he was incarcerated in the state prison for 14 years. As a teenager,
he dealt with being the youngest of his mother’s children. It was hard to find his place. By the
time he reached high school, his dad was out of prison and his family was reunited. But
between school and home, his life became more complicated and caused him to leave
Indianapolis for Dayton, Ohio.
In Dayton, Hoosier found himself engulfed in the street life. While hustling on the street,
rapping merged into his life. Expressing his life story in his lyrics made his style of rap unique to
him. He began to find his own way and create his own lane. Music gave him a reason to do
something positive in his troubled surroundings. He began to perform in clubs while he was
underage just to make a name for himself. The response made him decide to become more
focused on his music and really making it a career. Immaturity was exiting out the backdoor as
he was growing into a young man. Returning back to Indianapolis, he jumped right into the
music scene, pushing his mix tapes and singles. Just recently releasing his latest single, “3
Reasons”, it shows how much he has a love for his city and his family.
Although he is a rapper, he does not want to be labeled a hip hop or gangster rapper because
his music is a blend of both. Hoosier’s life has been full of ups and downs but music has
remained a constant in his life. As the music industry is constantly changing, Hoosier’s desire is
to continue to grow, inspire and being positive.“3 Reasons,” illustrates where Hoosier is at in his
life right now. Living positive, focusing on his three daughters, and his music career. His
message to the world is to go for the most, never settle. Self-motivate and surround yourself
with those who will consistently support you. Lastly, create your own lane and stay true to
yourself no matter what.
