Liberia’s iconic TRAPCO rapper, Bucky Raw, is once again making headlines—but this time, it’s not for a new album or single. In an exciting and unexpected turn, the artist is preparing to release an autobiography that will chronicle his life journey, giving fans an in-depth and honest look at the man behind the music. Known for his gritty lyrics and fearless storytelling, Bucky is now putting pen to paper to share his story in a way he’s never done before.
This won’t be the first time Bucky Raw has peeled back the layers of his life. Through his music, he’s always offered glimpses into his past—growing up in Liberia and the United States, his struggles with the law, and his fight to rise above the odds. However, this autobiography promises to go even deeper, offering raw and unfiltered insight into his personal battles, triumphs, and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
While the official release date is still under wraps, Bucky’s announcement has sparked widespread anticipation across Liberia and the diaspora. Fans and critics alike are eager to hear his story straight from the source. It’s expected to cover everything from his childhood experiences, his early days in the underground rap scene, his breakthrough into Liberia’s mainstream with the TRAPCO movement, and how fame, hardship, and hustle have shaped him into the man he is today.
In addition to this literary venture, Bucky Raw has recently made waves outside of music by stepping into the business world. Most notably, he launched “Cole Grocery,” a retail venture aimed at providing quality goods to Liberian communities. This move highlighted his growing role not just as an entertainer, but as a businessman and community figure. His decision to write an autobiography now seems like a natural extension of that growth—using his platform to not only entertain, but to educate and inspire.
Though he has not officially stepped away from music, this recent pivot into business and writing signals a possible evolution in Bucky’s career. It shows a willingness to explore different forms of expression and impact, beyond the mic. It also reflects maturity and a desire to leave a meaningful legacy—not just in TRAPCO, but in Liberian culture as a whole.
At a time when many artists choose to keep their personal lives hidden or controlled by social media personas, Bucky Raw is choosing vulnerability and truth. This autobiography is expected to resonate with fans of all ages—especially those who have followed his journey from the gritty streets to the main stage.
For young Liberians chasing their dreams, Bucky’s book may serve as a powerful reminder: success is not a straight path, and it’s okay to stumble, as long as you keep moving forward. Whether you’re a longtime listener or new to his story, this autobiography is shaping up to be a compelling, necessary read.
