Tramaine Harvey: The Open Mic Philosopher of Queens

From the heartbeat of Flatbush, Brooklyn to the soul of South Jamaica, Queens, Tramaine Harvey has been molded by the rhythm of real life and the melodies of resilience. His sound isn’t just music—it’s a philosophy, a journal, and a weekly sermon wrapped in verses and beats.

Tramaine’s latest project, “Open Mic (Bootleg)”, is more than just an album—it’s a concept piece, a journey into an artist refining his craft in front of a growing audience. Each track represents a “week” at the mic, complete with intros, crowd reactions, and lyrical confessions. By the final song, the listener doesn’t just hear growth—they feel it. As the crowd in the mix grows louder and more receptive, so does Tramaine’s voice—confident, wise, and unapologetically real.

Inspired by the sonic minds of Pharrell & The Neptunes, and the lyrical heavyweights like Jay-Z, J. Cole, Kanye, DMX, and Lupe Fiasco, Tramaine’s style is a hybrid of conscious rapCaribbean rhythms, and early-2000s grit. But don’t box him in. His artistry is fluid—like he says, it’s based on the message he’s trying to get across in that moment.

Unlike many artists chasing trends, Tramaine stands on the foundation of truth, love, self-awareness, and the belief that there are many paths to greatness. You won’t hear him glorifying violence or materialism—instead, he’s walking beside listeners, sharing stories from his community, his marriage, and his journey through self-discovery.

His wife—his biggest supporter—plays a vocal role in the project, introducing tracks and adding a layer of authenticity rarely seen in modern hip-hop. And with his next album, “Artistic Sanity,” already in motion and packed with elite collaborations, Tramaine is setting the stage for even bigger moves.

Still independent by choice, he treats his music career like a business—with structure, discipline, and respect for his art and family. Whether he’s working a full-time job or dropping gems in the booth, Tramaine Harvey is doing it on his terms.
