“I’ve slowly begun to play his lush and melodic singles like ‘Awkward Freestyle’ and ‘Just Friends?’ every damn day. They’re short, sweet, and addictive—and so is his newest song, ‘Let You Know.'” – Pitchfork
“Eem Triplin approaches music like a sculptor: Each song is a slab of marble ready for him to chip away at, until it resembles the masterpiece in his head.” – The FADER
“Best New Artist…With a thunderous style of production, Eem possesses an innate ability to construct expansive, captivating soundscapes.” – Pigeons & Planes
“Eem cuts through the haze of “Walked In” with his signature rasp and infectious lyrics.” – Billboard
“There’s an addictive quality to his songs, whether they’re the polished pluggnb that got him noticed or something a little blunter” – The FADER
“…The perfect lines to get stuck in your head for days on end.” – Lyrical Lemonade
“…one of the new wave’s most talented dual threats.” – Our Generation Music
“Eem is a true visionary, building worlds with his releases with not only impressive musical talents but being able to get out eye-catching visuals with consistent aesthetics and color schemes. ” – Daily Chiefers
Keeping ten toes down even as his star continues to rise, Eem Triplin built a devoted fanbase by being his authentic self. Opening up about his relationships as he embraces all-American iconography, the 23-year-old rapper shares the new video for “MISS ME?” Released earlier this month, the bouncy and tuneful “MISS ME?” is the latest single from MELODY OF A MEMORY, Eem’s forthcoming debut album. Directed by NOTACHANCE, the video is a perfect fit for the spritely new single, as Eem romances models, rides horses, makes home movies with an old-school camcorder, and posts up in an industrial neighborhood.
Home to recent singles like “FIJI” ft. Cruza (which earned the cover of New Music Daily on Apple Music, and an interview with Zane Lowe upon release in Fall 2024) and “CRAZY H*ES,” the upcoming MELODY OF A MEMORY deepens Eem’s sonic world, expanding upon his ear-teasing melodies and tales of easygoing romance. The album was shaped by a GRAMMY-winning Dahi (formerly DJ Dahi), who serves as the album’s executive producer, Matthew Castellanos, Charlie Myles, and Eem Triplin himself. His official debut full-length after a long string of viral hits, Eem Triplin’s MELODY OF A MEMORY arrives on February 17th via RCA Records.
“It’s been a long time coming, but I hope fans know that I’ve been putting a lot of hard work into this album,” said Eem. “I’m excited for the people to finally hear what we’ve been cooking up over the past year or so while I’ve been in the studio with the homies Dahi, Matt, Charlie, and more. This project reveals parts of me that I haven’t shared before, and also shows a side of my sound that I haven’t shown folks yet. I think it shows my evolution as an artist, and I hope people hear that when they tune in.”
MELODY OF A MEMORY is Eem Triplin’s first project since his 2023 debut EP, STILL PRETTY. Eem spent the intervening 18 months building a loyal fanbase, performing live as an opener for artists like LUCKI and his good friend $NOT, showing out at festivals like Rolling Loud, and European fests like Clout Festival and Splash! Festival, and performing his first-ever headlining show in his small hometown of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. In 2024, Eem performed his first headlining tour, the “STILL PRETTY North American Tour,” selling 11,000 tickets across 21 shows (90% sell out), released fan-favorite singles like “stephanie,” and collaborated with Camila Cabello on her song “baby pink.”
With hundreds of millions of streams in the bank and much further to rise, Eem Triplin is on a superstar trajectory. Stay tuned for more announcements about MELODY OF A MEMORY.

Born and raised in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a community of roughly 18,000 located near Pittsburgh, Eem started his career as a producer, creating and selling beats online, producing songs for artists like $NOT and T9ine, including the latter’s fan favorite tracks “BENZO” and “Revenge.” Eem’s success as a producer fueled his desire to become an artist in his own right. His career as an artist kicked into high gear when he shared “AWKWARD FREESTYLE,” a self-produced, personality-filled song that used elements of Tyler, The Creator’s 2013 song “Awkward.” The song quickly went viral, inspiring thousands of TikTok creations, generating millions of streams on all platforms, and eventually reaching the ears of Tyler himself, who gave the song his enthusiastic co-sign.
Since then, Eem scored follow-up hits like “JUST FRIENDS?” and “LOUIE V,” generated multiple viral moments at Rolling Loud Festival, and drew the attention of the Johnstown newspaper, The Tribune-Democrat, who profiled the local hero and captured his community’s excitement about his success. With millions of streams on his catalog per week, the 22-year-old Eem Triplin has a shot to become one of his generation’s biggest stars.
