TraGiC picked up the mic back in 1995, working up his own buzz within his hometown, Modesto, creating a wide demographic fan base just through homemade mix tape recordings. In 2002, TraGiC dropped his first EP to the state, titled "Chasin' Dreams," letting California know that there's a new phenomenon to be felt. This 2004 release, "Gift I Cherish" - a 21-track tour de force, is TraGiC's realest and rawest album to date. Though its main theme is to remain deep, "Gift I Cherish" touches many different vibes, from tracks for the deep-lyric listener to the banging-club lovers. Radio-ready tracks like "X'cuse Me" and "Rock Dis" are sure to attract a broad range of listeners and provide a mainstream vibe. On the other hand, you can hear TraGiC's trials and tribulations as he pours his heart and life out on songs such as "The Best of Me" and "32 Scars."
