Many of his songs are recorded in a singsong voice that ranges from high-pitched inflections to raspy shrieks — similar to the melodic shrills that '90s grunge rockers perfected. And it's his vocals on his love song, "Romeo and Juliet," that prove he's not your typical rapper. "My voice—I can sing for real," he told Vice's Noisey, and he wasn't kidding either.

Although he hasn't trained with the best vocal coaches to perfect his voice, Trippie Redd is a self-taught vocalist, telling the website he learned how to belt out tunes "from just listening to people that knew how to sing." 

He would try to mimic the voices of other artists, such as Drake, The Weeknd, and Partynextdoor, and he got pretty good at it. "I was listening to whatever my mom played in the car, so I hit high notes. I made my grandma cry one day, I hit a note. I swear to God, on everything I love! On my dad and brother, she started crying! I hit a note in the car. That's just so funny," he boasted.

He later told Hip Hop DX that Drake's song, "Sooner Than Later," was what inspired him to perfect his vocal prowess. "Yes, [that song is] the reason why I sing," he told the website.
