Turtle The Exiled

<a href="spotify:artist:4Gc2q6PPMS09ZEXOuQawvL" data-name="Turtle The Exiled">Turtle The Exiled</a> — born <a href="spotify:artist:4Mg0hq7EzMqoAlFQqERaGP" data-name="Daven Birchfield">Daven Birchfield</a> — is a 21-year-old artist and producer from West Blocton, Alabama. Blending the raw energy of NY Drill and Trap with the surreal edge of Meme Rap, his sound is chaotic, emotional, and constantly evolving. Since 2020, Turtle&#39;s journey has been one of transformation. After tragically losing his mother in a car accident and facing the absence of his father, he stepped up to care for his younger sister — just four years old at the time — becoming not only a guardian but a symbol of resilience. Through grief and hardship, he found purpose in music.
