It might come to your surprise, but Colorado is full of talented rappers. And yes, we know, “everyone’s a rapper”, but below are 15 really great Colorado rappers we think you should know AND SUPPORT. So, if you like their music, let’em know!

Latest Project: Rain In The Summer
Twitter: @TrevRichHD
Fan Page: www.Facebook.com/TrevRichHD
Notable Song: “Good Vibes”
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.
2020 Update
Trev is still dope and making music. I’ll actually ask him for a follow-up interview soon. Check out our Interview with Trev Rich
