Also known as Troy Lee Coleman III, he doubles as a country rapper and songwriter. Prior to commencing his music career, he was a manager at the major sneaker retailer Foot Locker. In 2005, Troy released his first major album called Loco Motive. His first track “I play with the chicken” debuted at number 48 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs. In between belting out hits, Troy has hosted TV show Nashville Star, appeared on wrestling show WWE Raw, performed on season 14 of the highly watched Dancing With The Stars where he performed “I play with the chicken.” In 2017, his single “Pork Chop” was named the theme for the National Pork Board’s October promotion called “Porktober.” Who would’ve thought?
