Every week starting the week of October 8th 2008 I'm going to add an artist of the week you should know about and listen to that you probably don't. Being that he is the inspiration for this blog it is only appropriate that I put first in line
TssT's T Double Turbo The Battle Toad.
Straight from his blog:
"Turbo T. Double - or - T. Double Turbo the BATTLETOAD. Turbo derives from a combination of things. The Turbo controller with orange buttons used on my Sega Genesis, Turbo from the movie Breakin, The self-proclaimed seemingly super sonic speed of This thought process. Double - The reoccurence and positioning of certain letters in the gov. name. While recording, the tendency to use a single Double. - The reoccurence of the number 2 in a stupid amount of other things."
My Two Cents:
Turbo is one of the first myspace artist that i actually found original and fresh turnout from the hiphop community. He is one of the best if not the best story telling artist I've come across from the younger generation of hiphopians. Many of his rhymes have a shaggy dog style to them but continue to keep the listener captivated.Short Story: One of my favorite songs by him is off of one his first mixtapes of Electro Rock V1( i believe. )Over Kanye West's song Impossible depicting a brawl between child hood imbodiment of david and goliath. Turbo's ingenuity with words places him in a callibur of his own amongst independent artist and easily earns himself as SOF's Artist of The Week
