About Me

Tommy Lockhart is a hungry independent artist on the grind and CEO of 1st Love Records. This gifted and insightful emcee got his start at age 9 battling cats on the streets. He embraced Hiphop and never let her go. His style and flava were impart influenced by rappers like Run DMC, LL Cool J, KRS ONE, Public Enemy, & Rakim to name a few. But ultimately it was socio economic circumstance and the streets that molded him.
Hood life, though dangerous and seductive; relinquished codes, tutorials, and lessons that kept Tommy Lockhart from being a mere statistic and fueled his life’s purpose: to ENTERTAIN, EDUCATE and EMPOWER.
The adventures of Tommy Lockhart began in his birthplace of Brooklyn, NY to a short lived college experience at North Carolina A&T, to serving time in the Army, to various parts of Florida, Atlanta and his current residence Compton.
LIFE EXPERIENCE enables him to flex confidence and emotion while putting everything going on in the hood into perspective. His lyrical dexterity, cryptic street tales and timely yet timeless songs exude the essence of Hiphop.
