TiaCorine
High-octane anime trap with a neon glow. Playful, razor-sharp flows over bouncy, synthetic production for late nights and loud energy.

TiaCorine (Tia Corine Thompson Shults) is a pivotal figure in the 'anime trap' subgenre, hailing from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Her sound identity is a complex intersection of her multi-ethnic heritage (Shoshone, Japanese, African American) and a wide-ranging musical diet that spans from 80s pop and R&B to golden-era hip-hop.
Emerging in the late 2010s, she gained massive cultural traction through TikTok with 'Lotto,' but she has avoided the 'one-hit wonder' trap by cultivating a highly specific, visually-driven aesthetic. Her career arc shows a steady evolution from the raw energy of '34Corine' to the more polished, conceptual world-building of 'CORINIAN.' Critically, she is noted for her technical flow and her ability to maintain a 'bubblegum' accessibility while delivering lyrically dense verses. She occupies a similar cultural space to artists like Rico Nasty and Bktherula, bridging the gap between alternative rap and mainstream pop-trap through a DIY, internet-native lens.
