About Me

Turf War Syndrome - In Stores Now! T-K.A.S.H is the Truth.After honing his skills on Bay Area revolutionary hip-hop group The Coup's projects Steal This Album, Steal This Double Album and Party Music, T-K.A.S.H. ('Keep A Steady Hustle') is set to unleash his magnum opus, Turf War Syndrome, on a world now weary of commercialized gangsta fables and the prostitution of hip-hop.Featuring production work by industry-veteran and fellow revolutionary hip-hop artist Paris, Turf War Syndrome chronicles tales of street life, redemption and consequences in the inner-cities of post-911 America.From the opening retro stylings of "American Nightmare" to the disturbing, almost cinematic critiques of society found in "Made In America," the listener is transported into the harsh realities of life that permeate Turf War Syndrome, as T-K.A.S.H. paints haunting images of struggle and persistence in life on the street.Conceptualized in documentary form, the album continues, by way of seamless transition, into the celebratory "In My Drawz," a solid dance track that is a 'Trojan horse,' as its feel-good tone serves to mask its true meaning - a call to armed revolution if conditions for the poor and underrepresented don't improve soon.And it doesn't stop. From the title track to the dancehall-esque "Louder Than Words" to the ominous warnings of "Stay Away," T-K.A.S.H. delivers the goods as only a serious student of real hip-hop can.T-K.A.S.H. initially got his start by working closely with Bay Area radio show legend Davey D at KPFA radio in Berkeley, CA. He later went on to cultivate his own following with his own show, The Friday Night Vibe, which can be heard every Friday night from 12-2:00 a.m. PST on 94.1 KPFA, 96.5 KNOZ (916 Radio in Sacramento), and simulcast on www.95live.com and www.guerrillafunk.com.By already having dedicated underground acceptance for his activism and ongoing work through non-commercial radio, T-K.A.S.H. is quickly becoming a Bay Area hip-hop icon in his own right. And with a fierce focus on musical quality and content, combined with the guidance of a seasoned team of industry veterans, you'll see why T-K.A.S.H.'s voice is now more relevant than ever.

Sounds Like: Guerrilla Funk Recordings was born out of necessity. It's a musical organization that was founded by Paris - the politically conscious artist best known for the incendiary song "Bush Killa" - that counters the corporate stranglehold of censorship currently plaguing the entertainment industry. It provides balance in this intolerant climate of suppression of free speech and artistic expression, and serves as a vehicle for those who are unable - not because of lack of talent or relevance - to be heard. There now exists a harmful double-standard at most record labels of endorsing artists who only espouse misogyny, mindless violence, and drug culture references in their music -- while at the same time ignoring artists who strive to enlighten and inspire. It is our pledge at Guerrilla Funk Recordings not to follow suit.
