Devonte Perkins (born 21 October 1995), better known by his stage name K-Trap, is a British rapper and songwriter from South London.[1][2][3][4] He is known for his prominence in the UK drill scene, releasing notable mixtapes such as The Last Whip (2017), The Re-Up (2018) and No Magic (2019). Previously, K-Trap was widely known for wearing a balaclava to conceal his identity until June 2019 when he revealed his face for the first time in the music video for his single ‘Big Mood’, promoting his mixtape No Magic.[5]

His debut studio album, Street Side Effects, was released on 13 November 2020. His mixtape collaboration with Headie One, Strength to Strength, was released on September 22, 2023, reaching number 4 on the UK albums chart and 1 on the UK Hip-Hop and R&B albums chart.[6]
