DESCRIPTION:
“THE ART OF GETTING UP” by tonyxtrotter, featuring J J L, moves through multiple sounds while capturing a personal turning point. The track follows an artist who once believed growth meant isolation, only to realize real progress comes from getting up, letting people in, and building alongside others. The message is simple: people need people. The first half rides an Isaiah Rashad style bounce before flipping into a darker, breakneck beat in the second half.
tonyxtrotter is a hip-hop artist with over a decade behind the mic. After finding faith in 2019, he walked away from his old catalog. But it wasn’t until the loss of his father in 2024 that he reignited his career, leading to his debut album Music Made in the Middle—a raw look at grief and healing. He was named a Rapzilla Freshman in 2025.
