Trip At Knight is the fourth studio album by American rapper Trippie Redd, released on August 20, 2021, through 1400 Entertainment and 10k Projects.[3] The album features guest appearances from SoFaygo, Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Ski Mask the Slump God, Polo G, Lil Durk, Babyface Ray, Sada Baby, Icewear Vezzo and late rappers Juice Wrld and XXXTentacion.[4] The album was released on August 20, 2021, less than a week before his upcoming tour.[5][6][7] It is a spin-off to Life's a Trip, his debut album.
Background[]
Months before the release of his third studio album Pegasus, Trippie teased a new project that he was working on, called Life's a Trip at Knight, the sequel to his debut studio album Life's a Trip. He then shared three-song snippets reported to be on the next project on his Instagram page, and shared a few details about the upcoming project, explaining how it will relate to Life's a Trip, by the album's cover art alone.
In November 2020, Trippie shared on his Instagram story that this album would contain no features other than his artist and long-time friend, Chris King, who had previously made an appearance on Redd's earlier projects. He wished for this album to be "raw and uncut" and to prove that he can give it his all.
In February 2021, in an interview, Redd had provided an update on what the upcoming project would be like. He shared, "my new Trip At Knight, I'm dropping all rage shit. Most of it [is] rage shit. I love rage music. We gon' rage and do some 'Dark Knight Dummo' shit.", when further mentioning some of the featured artists on the album to include the Kid Laroi, Polo G, and Lil Tjay.[8] The album's tracklist was announced on August 11, 2021, featuring 18 tracks.[9]
On August 20, 2021, Trip at Knight was released with 17 tracks. "Betrayal", featuring Drake, was excluded from the initial release, but was included on Trip at Knight (Complete Edition) which was released on August 21, 2021, one day later.
Singles[]
Trippie Redd released the lead single for the album, "Miss the Rage", a collaboration with American rapper Playboi Carti, on May 7, 2021. This was followed by the second single "Holy Smokes", featuring American rapper Lil Uzi Vert on July 16, 2021. "Captain Crunch" featuring Sada Baby, Babyface Ray, and Icewear Vezzo, "MP5" featuring SoFaygo", and "Matt Harty 999" featuring Juice Wrld were all sorted as singles with the Trip at Knight cover on streaming services, with two receiving music videos[10][11]

Kyann-Sian Williams of NME gave Trip at Knight 3 out of 5, saying that while Trip at Knight has "embrace[d] the colourful production of hyper-pop", the album experiences "a lack of quality control".[2] Williams believes that Trippie should "slow down and focus on longevity".[2] When comparing Trip at Knight and Life's a Trip, Williams believes that Trip at Knight doesn't "tend to reward repeat listens" while Life's a Trip does.[2]
