The life of "lil Tracy".

Written by: Daniel Angelo Bryan Bowen Farwell

Lil Tracy was born on October, 3 1995. Born in Teaneck, he was born into a musical family with both of his parents being successful musicians. His father was Ishmael Butler also known as “ The Hip-Hop” , and his mother was the lead singer on SWV. Fun Fact Lil Tracy wasn't aware that his parents were famous despite he was taken on many tour buses and shows of his parents.  Unfortunately his parents split early on into his life; And whenever he got in trouble at his moms house he would get sent to Seattle, but when he got in trouble with his dad he would get sent to Virginia.

Even though he found himself between the two homes, he spent most of his life in Virginia. Tracy's interests included basketball, skating and even video games, specifically GTA San Andreas  which he had an unhealthy obsession with. When he was younger he would listen to soldier boy, waka flocka, and southern raps such as OJ the juiceman , and Gucci. When Tracy described Virginia he said it was boring and he would skate and do graffiti just to pass time. And Virginia being a hippie place he fit right into the hippie scene from his skating, he could do a hard flip on skate board.

Even though he was most popular from his Emo music His style was mainly a punk rock style, which is also more accurate because of his personality. He discovered punk music from video games Specifically tony hawks sound tracks he said it changed his life. When he made his first few songs he got addicted to drugs such as acid, and when he was high on acid he would listen to Bala Maccabi who makes experimental psychedelic electronic music. When he was 14 years old he tragically got addicted to drugs, and the cross tattoo on his face at 15.

This photo shows the cross tattoo he received when he was just 15 years old.

Later in his life he went to an alternative school , and landed in jail occasionally. He got caught selling marijuana in middle school, and doing graffiti in broad daylight with a friend but later in his life things escalated. His mother made a reality show about her son and the stress he was putting onto her. They talked about one of his vandalism violations. And just when you thought things were getting worse they got even worse he got expelled from his school in Virginia, because he got into selling narcotics and carried a knife to school with him. Later on he got caught with the knife because it fell out his back pack and made a loud noise. His mom sent him to Seattle with his dad and he later on dropped out into freshman year. Later on when he dropped out he discovered a sound cloud and this is when he took off he later collaborated with goth money. He felt that goth money was speaking his language in terms of music so then he later joined goth money.

Later on, Tracy ran away and stole a tent, sleeping in a nearby forest with a close friend. All of the devices he recorded on were stolen and charged in Mcdonald's. He was barely making it, so he would go to the wish fountain and take change from it to get money to feed him and his friend. When his music was taking spots on the charts is when he truly focused on music . He dropped out of goth money and joined GBC AKA goth boy click. And in his songs he is being introspective about his past feelings for a girl in some of his songs.

Later on in his goth rap career he collaborated with famous singer/ songwriter “Lil peep” who is known for his songs, nuts, and star-shopping. When he collaborated with lil peep is when his name was most recognizable. His name appeared in famous songs with lil peep such as: giving girls cocaine, white tee, and my personal favorite; castles. After he did these collaborations he immediately took off and hit high charts on Spotify, and sound cloud. 

He still makes music today with his new hit album named “VILLAIN.” he made it on November 24th, 2025. This concludes the life of Tracy, he is really mysterious and never really leaves the house.
