“I know everyone says that but what does your "real" story consist of? selling drugs and making money? if thats the only catch to your story then your music is boring, my story goes beyond that. I can say 98% of the whole music industry havent experienced what I been through so I bring a unique story to the table. Everything I rap about is what I lived through or what I'm living and anyone that knows me will vouch for that. I think that’s essential to a career with longevity because if you have fans that actually follow you and look up to you, you’d be misleading them if you're not who you portray yourself to be because most artist are not†Living a life that is full of responsibilities, Tommy has much on his mind. After two uncles, a best friend and both his parents passed away in the last year, his siblings have become his liability and taking care of them has become a priority in his life. With music as a means of expression, he allows his lifetime experiences, pains, fears and goals to be reflected in his lyrics. He’s as real as it can get and he is working hard to show and prove.Influenced by an array of artists including the likes of Jay-Z, Fabolous, and Lil’ Wayne, Tommy’s personal style is emblematic.
