TiRon: Taking A Bite Out Of The Competition



What happens when you blend a west coast up and comer with a member of the lyrically destructive TDE camp all laced together by the beat-smith of the Cool Kids?  You get this masterpiece of west coast hip hop brought to you by Tiron, ScHoolboy Q and Chuck Inglish.  


By now the whole world knows what ScHoolboy Q and the rest of TDE can do, and Mr. Inglish has been in the public eye for sometime now having recorded countless projects with Sir Mikey Rocks as the Cool Kids.  Tiron, while having been around for a few years now, is generally an overlooked member of the current west coast scene that is leading the underground AND modern hip hop revitalization.  With artists such as Kendrick Lamar (not to mention the rest of the TDE team), Dom Kennedy, Nipsey Hu$$le and countless others coming out of the woodwork it is really no surprise that Tiron is somewhat overshadowed, but in no way does it mean that his music isn't up to par.


With 2 fantastic solo projects (Ketchup and MSTRD) and several others with label mate Ayomari, Tiron has shown his skill on the mic and proves that he is ready for the limelight.  While his style is somewhat more underground and experimental, I believe that a number of this young man's songs can easily mesh into the playlist of any hip hop fan.  Having met and conversed with him on numerous occasions I can say that he truly is a humble and jubilant kid who is doing what he loves and is loving what he is doing.  Don't sleep on Tiron or else it will come back to bite you!
