For BBA Trigga, rap isn’t just music—it’s survival, redemption, and purpose. Raised on Atlanta’s East Side, he’s transforming his reality into rhythm with the release of Trigganometry (The Finisher)—a powerful new project that marks the fourth installment in his signature series and his most complete statement to date.
“The hood inspired my name,” Trigga,” born Mekhi Spencer, says. “I’m from Kirkwood in Atlanta. My folks gave me the name, so I had to run with that.”
The story of BBA Trigga is far more than a street moniker however. In late 2019, he was arrested on gun charges and sent to a Fulton County correctional facility for juveniles. He served 16 months. That time behind bars, which included the entire Pandemic era of 2020, became a turning point, pushing him to find focus, clarity, and a voice in music.
“I started rapping four years ago when I got out of jail,” Trigga explains. “Everybody was in my ear, being positive. They told me they liked my music and to stay consistent.”
That encouragement lit the fuse. From the moment he picked up the mic, Trigga began building and honing his skills. He developed a versatile sound—that can vacillate between melodic and gritty. It’s a balance that has come to define the Trigganometry series, which began with Vol. 1 (Red) and Vol. 2 (Green), both released in August 2023. Vol. 3 (Black), dropped late last year.
Trigga’s latest project, Trigganometry (The Finisher), dropped on April 25, it’s the fourth and most refined volume. This isn’t just another mixtape—it’s a bold declaration that BBA Trigga has found his stride.
“The Finisher means completing what I started,” he says. “This ain’t the beginning. I’m already locked in. Now I’m leveling up.”
The project delivers a mix of hard street anthems, songs for the ladies and clubs and introspective, cuts—showcasing his ability to appeal across multiple audiences.
“I do bars and melodic raps,” he says. “I like to be universal. I want everybody f**king with me, playing my st. I want the streets, the ladies, everybody. So if I gotta switch it up, I can.”
One of the standout tracks is “No Time,” which is produced by Clarke Make Hits and the legendary music impresario Russell “Block” Spencer, Trigga’s dad. The record is an emotionally charged banger that finds Trigga reflecting on the pressures of grinding while cutting ties with distractions. “You ain’t talkin money, I ain’t got no time” he affirms. It’s the voice of a man who’s seen both struggle and growth—and refuses to go backward.
Another major highlight is “Lord Forgive Me,” featuring Southern rap legend Jody Breeze and singer K-Major. The track blends raw confessions with soulful hooks, exploring themes of sin, survival, and spiritual guilt. Trigga poignantly gives us a peek into pain from his past Jody Breeze delivers a veteran’s perspective, and tells the toll of carrying the weight of decisions made in the streets. K-Major ties it together with a heartfelt chorus that feels like a prayer and confession. It’s a moment of reflection that shows just how deep Trigga can go when he’s not just rapping—but revealing.
Though his music career is heating up, Trigga still reflects on the journey that shaped him. One of his most personal insights comes when talking about his twin brother Malik—someone who walked a different path, but with the same tenacious spirit.
“It was cool growing up with a twin,”Trigga says of his brother who is a safety for the Michigan State Spartans. “We are locked in. It’s a blessing to see how hard he’s been grinding on football and that he’s been a success in it. Growing up, me and my brother never went to the same schools. I was getting kicked out of schools and going to alternative schools. He was doing good, on the right path.”
Trigga’s tight bond with his dad has turned into a business relationship as well. Block Spencer, the founder of Block Entertainment, the influential label that introduced the world to iconic acts like Young Jeezy and Yung Joc, as well heavy hitting star MCs Gorilla Zoe, and Jody Breeze, has stepped in as manager to help guide his son.
“When he came home and really started to dive into music and take it seriously, I felt great about it,” Block explains. “I have been doing this for over 20 years, so I did want one of my sons to pick up the torch and run with it.”
The father of seven (four boys and three girls )also had a serious talk with Trigga about the what trappings to expect coming into the game.
“The industry isn’t always what it seems,” Block began to detail. “There’s some fake people in it, some people that don’t want to see you excel, but as long as you keep your circle tight, work hard and keep focus, you can bypass any potential pitfalls.”
Block also says he genuinely sees the hunger, talent, and authenticity in Trigga that made so many of his previous artists household names.
“Working with my son is a blessing,” he beams. “It’s interesting, because, you raise your kids to think for themselves and be their own person, which my kids do and are. But, whether you work a regular job or just being in this Entertaiment industry, someone with less experience has to take advice and even some coaching from a more experienced person in that field. I’m elated that I can drop jewels on him and he’s receptive to them. He also brings a lot of his own great ideas to the table, so it’s a great partnership.”
“It’s really cool to be with my father,” Trigga confirms. “He’s shown me a lot of stuff, put me on to a lot of game.”
With Trigganometry (The Finisher) now available across all platforms, BBA Trigga is positioned to break through in a major way. The album is sharp, well-produced, and packed with the kind of authenticity fans crave in today’s crowded rap scene.
“This is just the beginning,” he says. “I got something to prove. I want my name to be respected. I want my music to live forever.”
