Broadcasting From the Trap to the World

ABOUT LIVE FROM DA TRAP RADIO

Some say Hip Hop is dead—but it’s not. It’s evolving. Countless writers, rappers, producers, and singers with undeniable talent remain unheard, and Live From Da Trap Radio was created to change that.

The culture isn’t just shaped by artists; it is built by everyday professionals making an impact. From education and healthcare to social services, financial advising, trade industries, and students still finding their path, real people change lives every single day. Their stories are powerful, authentic, and deserving of recognition.

Founded by Newark, NJ native Tory Chew, the Tory Chew Empire launched in January 2014. What started as a vision quickly expanded into a multimedia powerhouse encompassing Live From Da Trap Magazine, an internationally syndicated radio show, PR consulting, advertising, event planning, and visual production. The magazine serves as a mirror to the inner city, highlighting indie talent, fashion, nightlife, beauty, relationships, and finance, alongside an intentional inmate section that captures both the raw struggles and major victories of urban culture.

Over the years, Tory has interviewed an impressive roster of major cultural icons and industry veterans, including:

• Amina Buddafly
• Jack Thriller
• Kazzie
• The Real Freeway Rick Ross
• Militant of Vamp Life
• LaTocha Scott of Xscape
• Adina Howard
• Michael Keith of 112
• DJ June & DJ Jayhood
• Mahogany Brown & Exetta Harris

By having the opportunity to work with selected A&R and artists from major labels like Def Jam, alongside independent artists worldwide and the raw energy of the streets, the brand's global footprint expands daily.

Inspired by radio icons Wendy Williams, Angie Martinez, and Miss Jones, Tory brings mainstream executive energy straight to the pavement. Yet, her truest foundation lies far deeper than media legends. It is rooted in the personal icons who shaped her journey: her late father, who instilled the strength to stand unshakeable in her truth; her eighth-grade teacher, who gave her an unforgettable moment of identity by being the first to pronounce her name correctly; her ninth-grade English teacher, who sparked her lifelong passion for storytelling; and her oldest brother, who taught her to never walk into situations built to harm her. Driven by these roots, Tory moves with strict integrity and an absolute standard of excellence.

Broadcasting from her hometown of Newark and her adopted home of Brooklyn, Tory has rightfully earned her crown as “Brooklyn’s Favorite Jersey Girl.”

As the independent landscape grows, society is finally ready for her voice. The movement is global. The reach is real.
