Artist
Andres Vidal Jr. (born March 28, 1976) aka TRIBAlations was raised in Jersey City, New Jersey by Mary Vidal and Andres Vidal Sr. It was in the Curry Woods projects that a lifelong passion for music and hip hop was forged. TRIBAlations was amazed as a little kid learning music through his father’s R&B band but he fell in love with Rap when his friend Charles Horne aka BooBoo showed him how to write rhymes and spit different flows at the age of 13. After a few years of practicing and after graduating from Snyder High School, TRIBAlations skills got him face time with Big Pun, AG, and Double X Posse. TRIBAlations has also shared the stage at the HOUSE OF BLUES in South Carolina with artist like Queen Penn, Public Announcement and others. It was at this point where TRIBAlations was almost shot, killed, and locked up before he could sign his first deal; it turned out that the label was connected to a drug cartel and the FBI raided the offices. That close call, to death and to his dreams lead TRIBAlations to put away his pad and pen and pursue other things. In 2006 TRIBAlations starting grinding again and recorded the song “IT’S GETTING HOTTER”, produced by Josh Johnson for indie label Lose Ur Breathe. That label folded, but, in 2010, radio show host Chris Morale called TRIBAlations to inform him that “IT’S GETTING HOTTER” was a fan favorite on his show for the last six months. TRIBAlations was invited to perform live at the Chrismorale Experience on www.wifi1460am.com and www.wer
