What does “Trill” mean?

Published December 8, 2019 by

What does it mean to be “Trill”? What do rappers mean by “Trill”?

The term and slang “Trill” was popularized in Houston circa 2003 by Bun B and Paul Wall. In a Back & Forth interview with A$AP Rocky, Bun B revealed the word originated in prison and eventually made its way to Port Arthur, Texas.

Trill is a mix of true and real and means someone or something that is genuine and authentic. Some people say being “Too Real” is also trill.

The hip-hop term and slang “Trill” has been used by A$AP Rocky, Beyonce, Meek Mill, Jay Z, Clipse, Rick Ross, Trill Sammy, and many more rappers.

Keep it trill.
