Tracei at Vaquero Taquero

Mar 13, 2025

8:20pm – 8:35pm CT

Vaquero Taquero

Meet the vibrant Tracei, a musical force hailing from the sunshine-filled Boca Raton, FL. Born on May 17, 1997, Tracey's journey is a symphony of influences, from playing instruments in diverse churches to drawing inspiration from J.Cole, Andre 3000, Biggie Smalls, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Kendrick Lamar. The emerging Florida Rap star strikes the perfect balance between menace and empowerment with her bass-heavy, anthemic songs of self-assurance and devotion to personal boundaries. The juxtaposition is reminiscent of Cash Money‘s peak Pen & Pixel era and a pre-2000s Three 6 Mafia.

Beyond the notes, Tracei is more than a musician; she's a Johnson C. Smith University graduate, a former collegiate athlete who conquered both fields. Now armed with a social work degree, Tracey orchestrates a unique blend of melodies to create music that not only resonates but leaves a lasting, positive impact on the hearts of her listeners. Tracei uses her voice to advocate for the voiceless through music.
