You're now locked on to the official MySpace of T Dot 1.
Luke AKA T Dot 1 is a 17 year-old Grime/Hip-Hop emcee, from a small town in Wiltshire called Salisbury. Known for his incredible lyrical aggression and his complex rhyming schemes, he has taken Wiltshire by storm and has become one of the most influential and well known emcee’s in the UK.
It all started back on September 13th, 2006. That day, was the day that his life, and the way people thought about him, changed forever. After a long conversation with friend at the time, Michael Dunne, he agreed to write Luke some Hip-Hop lyrics based on his life. 2 days went past, and Michael produced the lyrics titled “Walk Wid Meâ€. Full rights were given to him to record, exploit and sell if the time came to it. After finding recording software (Audacity) and using a webcam microphone, the track was recorded, and put on Bebo, for his friends to see. He had a lot of good feedback from his friends, and even more from haters. For the next 2 weeks, all he got were comments saying “give up, your shit, you won’t get anywhereâ€. He never listened to them, and within a week the track titled “Haterzâ€, written by Luke himself, was put up on Bebo. It was then, that everyone who hated on him, knew he was starting to take music seriously. Through-out the next 4 months, 7 more tracks were written and recorded, and Luke’s first mixtape (under the alias NiLz) was released. Considering he had only stepped to the mic a few months before, his mixtape “Beginner’s Luck†sold at £2 a CD, making him a nice wager of about £60. It was then on, he decided to take up music as a long-term hobby.
February 2007, would escalate Luke to a whole new level, going from Hip-Hop to UK Grime & changing his alias from NiLz to Terrah-One, he gained a lot of fame in West London with his track titled “Listen Upâ€. Things went a bit dry after that. Suffering from really bad writers block, he went cold, people thought that he had given up, and starting hating again. But, June 2007 saw the time of Luke & Michael’s big fall out. The aftermath of that argument was a track titled “M!KEY Dissâ€. It was that track alone, that sealed Luke’s fame within the Grime scene, and boasts an incredible amount of threats, the word “fuck†and literally, pure hate. It was played on 12 pirate radio stations, 5 times from request, and pretty much got his name out there. Soon after that, came the time Luke and his girlfriend split up, after 4 visits to the hospital due to overdosing on muscle relaxants, a 2 part track was written, one titled “Don’t Start Shit†due to his ex’s new boyfriend threatening to brick his windows, and “Evrythin’ I Do†which was a more deep, meaningful track, explaining how the break-up made him feel.
Now signed to his own independent label, TSE – Terrah Stryke Ent. he is making moves in the scene and is currently finishing off his first CD of 2008. Get 2 Know: PROMO will be released in July, and boasts some of the solo artists finest tracks, including the M!KEY Diss & Walk Wid Me. Keep locked onto this page for more info.
