Welcome back to Cloud Machine, a weekly music business video podcast hosted by Mat Landry and industry insiders. In this third episode, Mat & TRP.P discuss production tips & tricks, their dream collaboration album, the communities that have surrounded them, and their origin. They also play a new game on the podcast called "Didn't Cha Know"!

TRP.P is an R&B/Hip-Hop duo hailing from Toronto, Canada. The duo consists of Truss (music producer on television show Sort Of) and Phoenix Pagliacci (featured artist on rapper Shad’s album TAO). In 2019, TRP.P released their first full-length album 2TRP.P, which garnered press from outlets including Fader, Earmilk, Exclaim! Magazine and NOW Toronto. Fresh off of last year’s Western Canada tour, where they opened for Juno-award winning rapper Shad & some international dates, TRP.P released their second full-length album entitled “Mirror Soul” in summer 2022: https://wearetrpp.bandcamp.com/album/mirror-soul
