Fresco Trey opens 2026 with “Hope,” a melodic, introspective new single that does exactly what the title promises. Built around the kind of lived-in storytelling that has defined his catalog since ‘Heartbreak Diaries,’ the track carries a direct message from an artist who has earned the right to deliver it. “Hope is a reminder that your story isn’t over,” Trey says. “No matter what you’ve faced, you still have the pen in your hand, and you get to decide how it ends.” It follows last year’s ‘Meraki (Deluxe)’ and arrives as his sharpest, most emotionally grounded single yet, with listeners already pointing to it as the most resonant thing he has put out.
The Memphis rapper has been building steadily since shadowing Post Malone on tour in 2019, signing to Warner Music Group in 2021, and releasing a string of projects and collaborations with NLE Choppa, K CAMP, Lil Tjay and Vory. He has since moved forward as an independent artist, most recently completing a supporting run on K CAMP’s ‘KISS 6 Tour.’ The momentum is real and it is only moving in one direction. “Hope” is out now.
