TrU KnoWLeDGe Tha KID

About Me

BORN AS "KN0WLEDGE GREEN" IN NEWARK NEW JERSEY, TK HAD BEEN INTO MUSIC SINCE THE AGE OF 5 YEARS OLD. THE 1ST FREESTYLE EVER WAS CALLED "AND THEN". AT THE AGE 12 TK DROPPED VOCALS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A PROFESSIONAL RECORDING STUDIO RECORDING SONG TITLED "REMAIN MY GIRL" WHILE IN A GROUP NAMED REALITY.AT THE AGE 15 TK STARTED MAKING DUE TO OVERPRICED LOCAL PRODUCERS. HIS BEAT MAKING ABILITIES HAD GAINED HIM LOCAL RESPECT ASIDE FROM THE TIES HE HAD WITH THE STREETS. AT THE AGE 17, TK RECORDED HIS FIRST FULL LENGTH ALBUM AND SHELVED IT DUE TO THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON MIXING AND ENGINEERING. THE SELF TITLED ALBUM "oFFiCiAL" WAS A LOCAL SUCCESS, BUT IT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR TK.SO USED TO RUNNING IN THE STREETS RECKLESS, DOING WHAT HE FELT LIKE, AND HAVING A CARELESS ATTITUDE... LIFE BECAME REAL IN NOVEMBER 2001 WHEN A FRIEND "R.I.P. LIPZ" WAS GUNNED DOWN IN THE NEXT DOOR BUILDING. GRADUATION WAS APPROACHING IN 2002 AND THE ONLY THING TK CAN THINK ABOUT WAS GETTING HIS MUSIC OUT TO THE WORLD.THE U.S. ARMY HAD 3 GREAT ACTIVE YEARS OF TK'S LIFE, PLACING ONE OF THOSE YEARS IN IRAQ. UPON ENTERING THE ARMY, PERSONAL TIME WAS VERY SCARCE. IT WASN'T UNTIL TK GOT TO IRAQ, AROUND OTHER ASPIRING ARTIST, THAT HE BEGAN TO MAKE BEATS AND WRITE SONGS AGAIN. THE DEPRESSION AND REALITY OF STARING AT CERTAIN DEATH HAS TURNED ON THE DRIVE THAT WAS LOST.AS THE YEARS GO BY... TK THA KID STILL MAKES BEATS, OWNS AND OPERATED D.O.J.A. RECORDS, COMPOSE MUSIC AND LYRICS, AND IS STILL PUSHING TO HAVE ONE OF THE TOP 5 COMPANIES IN THE WORLD BASED OFF OF HIS CRAFT.DEPARTMENT OF JERSEY ARMY WAS ESTABLISHED IN OCT OF 2007.AND WILL BE DISBANDED NEVER...
