3problems

3 Problems is a hip-hop group from St. Louis, Missouri, known for their raw and street-rooted rap style that reflects the struggles of their community. The group consists of cousins Lil Tay, Swagg Huncho, and Relly Rell, who formed the trio based on their close family ties and shared experiences growing up in a challenging environment marked by high unemployment and violence. Their music offers a voice for teens facing similar hardships, blending tough street tales with moments of redemption and resilience. They gained local attention through their mixtapes, such as *A Problem Story* and *Free Rello*, with tracks that reveal their real-life struggles and authentic street perspectives.

Tragically, the group suffered significant losses, including the murder of Swagg Huncho in 2015 and Relly Rell’s incarceration, which left Lil Tay as the main driving force behind 3 Problems. Despite these hardships, Lil Tay continued to push the group's creative output, keeping their distinct sound alive. Their music captures both the pain and hope of life in St. Louis, making 3 Problems one of the city's most vital and heartfelt hip-hop acts.
