The trucking community might have found its anthem in “Trucker Anthem,” a heartfelt tribute by Mississippi artist 2Hott, celebrating their hard work and dedication. This song represents not only the daily struggles of truckers but also the immense pride they take in their work.
Devin Tribble, known professionally as 2Hott, hails from Quitman County and Batesville, Mississippi. Growing up in the small towns of Mississippi, his early exposure to music shaped the direction of his career. He began his musical journey while attending South Panola High School, where he connected with other aspiring musicians. At just 15, he was already writing his own songs, drawing inspiration from his friend JT, who encouraged his creative side. By 2011, he had managed to release his debut mixtape, recorded in his cousin’s closet. Despite the many obstacles that came his way, including the loss of his mother in 2018, 2Hott’s determination to make it in the music industry only grew stronger. The experience of loss became a turning point, giving him the resolve to pursue his musical dreams with even more focus and dedication.
Drawing inspiration from established artists like Kevin Gates and Gucci Mane, 2Hott’s musical style has a unique flavor. His recent EP, America’s Most Wanted, showcases a variety of tracks, but it’s the single “Trucker Anthem” that seems to strike a chord with audiences, particularly those in the trucking community. The song has found its way into the hearts of truckers across the country, celebrating their dedication to their craft and the sacrifices they make. As the song’s popularity continues to grow, 2Hott’s reputation as a storyteller and advocate for blue-collar workers is also rising. His upcoming project, The Confession Tape, is expected to delve into even deeper themes, telling engaging stories about family dynamics, crime, and love. These narratives are something that fans can relate to, as they mirror some of the struggles and experiences of real people.
To celebrate the success of “Trucker Anthem,” 2Hott is embarking on the “TRUCK STOP TOUR.” This tour is unique, as it will see the artist traveling across the country in a semi-truck to connect with fans and fellow truckers. The tour is designed not only to promote the song but also to provide a space for the community to come together. For truckers who are often on the road, the tour offers an opportunity to unite over shared experiences and have fun. The idea behind the tour is to foster a sense of connection and create an enjoyable environment where fans can interact with the artist while showing appreciation for the hardworking truckers.
2Hott’s music career continues to grow, and with his recent collaborations, his presence online is expanding. New partnerships with KB Theplaymaker Barrell and Mech “DigiMech” Harper, along with KLU Management’s Kevin “KU” Ulmer, have allowed 2Hott to engage with a wider audience. These collaborations have helped him boost his online presence, especially on platforms like Facebook and TikTok. Social media has provided him with a powerful tool to invite fans to join him on his journey as he continues to share his music and message with the world. 2Hott encourages fans to follow his journey as he moves forward, allowing them to feel like they are part of the process.
While 2Hott’s music is making waves in the industry, he remains deeply committed to honoring the stories and struggles of truckers. The song “Trucker Anthem” was created not just as a catchy tune but as a genuine tribute to the men and women who dedicate their lives to the road. As 2Hott’s career progresses, he shows no signs of slowing down. He’s already working on new material and looks forward to sharing more music with fans in the future. For those who are passionate about trucking or blue-collar work, 2Hott’s work has become something of a rallying cry. His journey is just beginning, and fans can look forward to seeing where it takes him next.
