Blue Chip NYC is proud to introduce its newest artist, NeighborhoodPrimo, with the release of his debut project Trap Melodies. Hailing from Uptown Philadelphia, Germantown to be exact, NeighborhoodPrimo is ready to show the world his unique sound and carve out his space in the music scene.
NeighborhoodPrimo’s journey into music wasn’t a direct path. Growing up, sports were his main focus. As an athlete, he dedicated himself to football, which became his identity to many people around him. “People still want to see me playing football,” Primo explains, “and that’s been one of the hardest parts about my music journey—getting people to respect me as an artist, not just an athlete.”
But music had always been in the back of his mind. As a kid, NeighborhoodPrimo would watch music videos and dream about being like the rappers he saw on TV. The real turning point came when a friend of his, who had built a buzz around the city with his own studio in North Philadelphia, invited Primo to hang out. “At the time, music wasn’t on my mind at all. We were just getting money and needed a place to chill and smoke. But the more I heard him create, the more I started wondering what I would sound like or what type of music I’d make.”
That curiosity eventually led to action. One night, NeighborhoodPrimo decided to step into the booth and give it a try, and from that moment, his path as an artist was set.
Now, with the release of Trap Melodies, NeighborhoodPrimo is ready to prove that he’s more than just an athlete-turned-rapper. “This project has a variety of sounds and music for a diverse crowd. I believe my sound is original—no one can hear my music and say I sound like someone else. You won’t hear that because my sound is mine.”
Trap Melodies offers relatable themes across the board, blending authentic street experiences with a melodic vibe that appeals to a wide audience. With tracks that span moods and tempos, Primo showcases his versatility as an artist, while delivering a sound that’s distinctively his own.
As NeighborhoodPrimo steps into the spotlight under Blue Chip NYC, Trap Melodies marks the beginning of a promising career that’s sure to grab attention. Be sure to check out the project on all major platforms and keep an eye on this rising talent.
