Why you need to know him: Trev Rich is undoubtedly at the top of the Colorado rap game. He was good enough for Joe Budden to give him his own track on his A Loose Quarter mixtape. He was good enough for KS107.5 to ask him to perform at Summer Jam 2014. The great thing about Trev is that he reps the Mile High City with so much passion, that when his fans think of him, they’ll have no choice but to think about Denver.
