Caleborate Says It’s Game Over For Obstacles In His Path…Does This Video Win It All?

The Cali’ collective formed their crew after they connected in high school and pursued their career under the name “StoryTelling Records,” inspired by Outkast’s late ’90s single. As the trio enhanced their craft, they held tight. They began to hone in on their first project and took on a new alias, Trey Coastal.

They’ve begun to work on their third EP which they plan on releasing before the end of the year.
