Bio
Tri-State emerged into the hip hop world in 2004. The movement was
initially to restore the high quality of material that was once occupied by
the genre. The group Tri-State consists of 3 members, "J. J Humpfry" from
Newark, N. J, "Young Sube" from Newark, N. J, and "J.F.K" from Bronx, N. Y.
While pursuing higher education, these young men arrived at Benedict
College. The oldest of the Group J.F.K, postponing his 2004 graduation, met
roommates Young Sube, and J. J Humpfry the following semester. The young
men met through extra-curricular activities, and through casual
conversation they acknowledged that they had a deep affinity for hip hop,
they had similar views of the accolades of its past, and concerns about its
present and future conditions. Fearful that the creativity of the culture
would continue to be compromised, they formed the group Tri-State to anchor
a solution. With witty metaphors, up-tempo signature sound, and a
realistic/at times humorous narration of there underprivileged
neighborhoods, Tri-State stands to be a force in the near future.
