KTrazz

"It's time for a little bit of Trazz to Spazz you out." - to girls at a YGN Christmas Party in 2022.
King Trazz (December 4, 2005 - August 14, 2024) was an American rapper from Graham, North Carolina best known by stage-name KTrazz. He is also known by alias Padlockz. 
The violent, irreplaceable older brother of KSlayez and one of the most treasured loyalists KGlockz, it is the energy KTrazz holds that none can cokpare to when it comes to the bosses. By no means, is he just another prop to give YGN numbers; he is a figure of his own energy and contributions to the growth of the Young Grown Nation, and a treasured member of the Triple K-Boyz.
KTrazz made his music debut on September 22, 2023 with his verse on the song 'Just a Little Bit of Trazz' featuring YGN Squadz and YGN Dripmasterz.
== Role in YGN ==
KTrazz is one of the most high-ranking (though rank remains generally pointless, outside of administration) faces in YGN, and his role is even greater when put alongside KGlockz, who KTrazz fiercely shows unquestionable loyalty, and although KTrazz is known for being the quieter of the three, if not including the fourth, DeKødez. Despite this, he will raise his voice if he is pushed to a point he needs to put his foot down, and has no tolerance for his peers not showing his brother or leader the same mindset he and KSlayez hold, both being considered KGlockz' lead enforcers and roadies when it comes to his music career.
This being said, whilst he typically reports to KGlockz, he is also capable of responding to orders given by Squadz, Dripz and Sinnerz, due to their superiority in the YGN, although it is under most normal circumstances never enforced, as KGlockz typically holds responsibility over him in YGN, as with all of his apprentices.
== History ==
=== Childhood (2006 - 2014) ===
Eric Padron Tracey was born on December 4, 2005 to Christopher Miller Tracey, and Shannon L. Hammer-Tracey, who are also the parents to his older brother, Angelo Tracey, aka KSlayez. Little is known about their early childhood, but it should be noted that at some point growing up, their parents divorced, and for a while, the two brothers did not live together full time, before their mother was awarded custody in 2020. 
=== Association with KGlockz (2011 - Present) ===
Eric met Kristian Garcia, aka KGlockz, in 2011 at Graham High School, as a classmate. While Kris had associations with his other peers in those times, he did share a personal connection with Angelo in home-room and occasionally outside of class. It was through Angelo that Eric met Kris, as Eric didn't have class with Kris, but after meeting, would hang out together outside of Kris' inner circle. As such, they never formally met Kris' other friends, but were around them at sporadic moments, though they did meet Kris' cousin Enrique, aka Sinnerz at key moments.
Sometime around this point, they'd meet Dekoda Brown, aka DeKødez, who would often consist of their fourth member, albeit not as frequent in the early years, and later on 2FPluto and LiiT PARK3R, who would be considered close followers of the three/four.
=== YGN Affiliation and Debut (June 2018 - Present) ===
KTrazz was another lifelong friend to the YGN's future roster, and made more appearances in 2018 than he did between 2011 - up until that point. 
After a long friendship with Kristian, especially after entering Graham High School around 2020 as Kris and Angelo, among other friends would hang out strictly with Kris and Enrique during school hours, the two brothers would soon be introduced to Kris's day-ones in label Young Grown Nation, which acted also as a squad and clique of close friends treated as a family. Kris was now KGlockz, and held interest in starting his own faction within YGN, and approached his day-one Angelo with the opportunity, which was seized immediately after Angelo and Eric met YGN Squadz, the owner and manager of the Young Grown Nation, and later second-in-command YGN Dripmasterz.
Squadz was strongly unfamiliar with the two, despite them having been always background characters in his own life, but welcomed the two brothers with a warm impression. The two signed off on the label, and Eric became 'KTrazz', in order to establish his ultimate loyalty to his day-one KGlockz.
He made his debut on the song 'Just a Little Bit of Trazz' which included YGN Squadz and YGN Dripmasterz. He admitted another song with the same artists was in the works, similarly to how his little brother KSlayez released two songs with KGlockz.
He was arrested at a Walmart in Rockford, Illinois for shoplifting, which revealed multiple warrants, one for breaking and entering and assault on a female, and another for debit fraud, were revealed and he was booked, before being let go based on both lack of evidence and given bond for the shoplifting. He still has court due. 
KTrazz, along with his brother KSlayez, are scheduled to make guest appearances during the Chip off the Old Block tour in March 2024. His appearances in the tour were cut following medical problems in March. 
=== Health Problems (March 2024) ===
In March 2024, Trazzy was admitted to Moses Cone Medical Center after alarming symptoms, fearing an overdose. Although he hasn't overdosed at the time, his body was extremely weak, to the point medical officials told him to cancel his shows for the Chip off the Old Block tour. 
He was informed he had been taking cocaine at a life-threatening level, and was advised that he would need to be placed into rehabilitation programs, after apparent treatment. He was also proscribed Methadone to treat his addictions to Vicodin and Heroin. 
He claimed to be going into rehab, but was seen snorting just two days later on a now deleted Instagram post. So far, he's made progress in beating his heroin addiction. 
On March 30, 2024, Trazzy cancelled multiple shows in Florida for the Chip off the Old Block tour despite arriving, after being unable to get out of bed that morning. 
His brother KSlayez called for medical assistance after Trazzy described symptoms of an overdose, having reportedly bought crack cocaine and smoked an alarming amount shortly before his scheduled show. 
He arrived at a hospital outside Orlando, but refused medical treatment fearing arrest for taking the substance and returning to jail, and flew home early; Slayez reported that Trazz could barely move on the plane and looked like he was close to death, but made it home safely. 
It was reported he was warned not to travel based on his current condition, as he had been extremely weak and barely mobile, struggling to breath and losing weight at alarming rates, but he defied medical advice and even disregarded his rehabilitation efforts, getting into contact with substance again. 
He later was admitted into Moses Cone Medical Center the following day and was treated for a cocaine overdose, nearly succumbing to the substance with family by his side, but survived. 
His scheduled appearance on April 5, 2024 at Pinhook was cancelled along with the show itself, pending his medical recover. 
=== Death ===
KTrazz was selected for an appearance at SummerSlash '24, and would have appeared alongside KSlayez on the lineup. He released his first EP, 'Invader', on August 12th.
On August 13, 2024, he, KSlayez, KGlockz and DeKodez were checked into a hotel in Charlotte, pending the event on the 18th. At some point, Trazz died in his sleep during the night, with it being announced earlier that morning. 
As of now, the cause of death is unknown. 
== Personality ==
KTrazz is mostly silent, rarely ever speaking regardless of the situation; in class, hanging out, with family, gaming or even working. He usually only speaks when it is really needed, such as to get his point across and continue on from then on, and this is his go to.
Trazzy, due to living with his father and the influence he had during a 12 year gap, grew to become more "street" in contrast to his brother or best-friend. His street demeanor somewhat mirrors Devil Patrol, but is somewhat unique, not unlike DeKødez who is the only member of Triple-K with a notable DP background. He's also extremely rebellious, known for being a "badboy" and while extremely fierce in his protectiveness of his loved ones, he's also not outside a code of honor or humor, especially due to the effects of his ecstasy, cocaine and marijuana abuse. 
Despite this, it's noted there are more similarities rather than differences between him and his brother, and their equal minds bring the YGN and KGlockz' loyalists all together in a driving aim to success, something that Trazz loves to be credited for. His violent personality has somewhat calmed since being back with his mother, and being around his little brother more, who he often tries to model himself for. 
Despite being a more silent face online, he's known as a party-boy; he frequently abuses ecstasy, marijuana, LSD and hallucinogenic mushrooms, along with his alcohol abuse. He also holds a fierce street reputation, which adds alongside his support over KGlockz. He's generally considered laidback, yet extremely protective and is one of the most loyal followers of KGlockz.
== Trivia ==
* KTrazz is of pale Mexican ethnicity, along with his brother KSlayez and close-friend Sinnerz. This gives off their Caucasian misconception.
* It is often misconceived that he and KSlayez are half-brothers; in reality they are full siblings, and Slayez has on more than one occasion explained that both have step-parents that are falsely believed to have been biological, most closely that Trazz' step-father is his biological.
*KTrazz mostly only speaks when gaming.
**This is best observed in YouTube stream of Rainbow Six Siege titled 'Wild Run' which featured him, KSlayez, KGlockz and YGN Squadz. It should be noted he has a deep voice, similar to KGlockz which can make it hard to distinguish.
*'Trazz' comes from his surname, Tracey but with inverted interpretations. 
**Also, the initals 'King Trazz' are the same as 'King Tweaky', which KTrazz explained was intentional, along with mimicked mannerisms as he admits he was a strong fan of King Tweaky and the nickname King Trazzy is in ode to that, though he usually drops the 'Y' from the nickname.
*He would drop out of high-school in January 2024 after a violent altercation with KGlockz during band class, though the two made up soon after.
*KTrazz has admitted experimenting with methamphetamine once. 
*In February 2024, he and KGlockz tried to sneak into a 21+ strip club bringing their own booze, assuming it would validate their ages, only for police to arrive and charge the two for underage drinking. Thankfully, this did not affect Trazzy's bond.
