Indy Spotlight: Tyso SPRME

tyson

Explain who you are for those who don’t know

Im Tyso SPRME from Milwaukee, Wi.

How did you come up with your name?


It’s not too interesting of a story haha but since high school my bro Virg would always call me Tyso. He was the one who gave me that name basically. I went through the whole being in high school trying to be an rapper, trying to figure out a name that doesn’t make you sound or look stupid, so I went through a lot of names but once I told myself it’s time to get serious about this music stuff I knew I needed a name that would be just as serious as the artist an the music. The Tyso comes from my original name Tyson and the SPRME is just short for Supreme. The two together creates the name im known by now which represents me at my fullest, me at my “supreme” or “ final form”. Just me giving my all.

Where are you from?

I’m originally from Jeff. City, Missouri, then I moved to Milwaukee around 01 an been here
since

Whats it like growing up where your from?

Growing up in Missouri i don’t remember much but since being in Milwaukee I loved it an hated it growing up. I moved around a lot throughout the years so I’ve lived almost everywhere in this city. Seen some things, heard things, lost friends, gained friends. This city is the reason why I don’t believe in the word “friends”. I only have brothers. So growing up here has taught me a lot as much as it’s changed me as a person.

How did you get into music?

My cousin Nolan (Nol Polite) got me into music. I’ve always loved music, my dads side of the family is heavily influenced by music and very involved in their own music endeavours so it was bound to happen to me. Just differently of course. I started off learning how to piece words together to rhyme. Then he taught me how to prodcuce and from there I just ran with it. Eventually I learned how to not just piece words to rhyme but to formulate them accordingly to my life, my feelings and what the listeners may feel or want/need to feel. I’ve been making music for years but I’ve only been seriously making music for a year and a half now an the blessings have been amazing.

What makes you different than other artists?



My story. My life. My visions. My thoughts. My secrets. All these things make me different as a artists. All these things make me better as an artists as well. Just apart of doing things my way the way I envision it.

What are you currently working on?

Right now I have my first solo ep entitled “While You Wait” that’s releasing July 14th, which is just something to hold my supporters over until I finish my full length debut but it’s also to gain new supporters and put them on to something new. There’s vibes on this project, lyricism, life, lessons, words of wisdom, me telling secrets or things people may not know about me,even hits for the ladies of course hah. It’s all on this project and it will all be amplified ten fold with my full length project. This is just the “appetizer” sort of say.

Anything you would like to say?

Just want to s/o everybody that supports me and everybody reading this right now. New and old. I thank all y’all and couldn’t make these dreams possible without y’all and I pray for more blessings and success for you and I. Most importantly more great music! Major love to everyone over at Hip Hops Revival for this opportunity as well. Make sure to follow my social media accounts as well!!! Bless!!

Tamani Joy – Ryder ft. JustJosh

New video release from Tamani Joy titled “Ryder” ft. JustJosh out now! Stream it below and read our exclusive Q&A with Tamani when your done. 

Explain who you are for those who don’t know?

My name is Tamani Joy, I’m a 22-year-old artist from Baltimore, MD. My influences range between genres, Indie, R&B, Rock and my strongest being Hip-Hop.

How did you come up with your name?

Just as I got comfortable with my previous moniker Zzleepy, it hit me “Tamani Joy.” It’s a combination of my First, Middle and Last name. I felt that the music I was beginning to create was a lot more personal than before, my previous name didn’t necessarily represent much but a metaphor for being high.

Where are you from?
Born and raised in Baltimore, MD

What’s it like growing up where your from?
Baltimore is a small city the East isn’t far from West and everyone knows each other. Good or bad it seems like there’s always something going on. For me I just stay out the way if I’m not working on something at home or at the studio, you’ll likely find me in the backwoods somewhere. As far as the music scene goes we’ve been bubbling a bit and there’s a lot of talent that everyone will soon see.

How did you get into music?

Early on my dad always tried to get me to play drums so that may have been the start. Though, once I really started to get my own ear for music it was easy for me to get started. My early recordings were on a Playstation Eye microphone over whatever instrumentals I could find of my favorite songs. I’d be the first to say I was trash then but I had a drive that allowed me to keep growing to where I am now

What makes you different from other artist?

I feel like I have a different approach with my music especially in a time where not much is said anymore, or the same content and theme is repeated from artist to artist. I find it necessary to have a purpose in my music. While some song are fun and light-hearted I’d like to show you the darker side as well.

What are you currently working on?

At the moment I’m not focused on a particular project but I keep creating, learning and experimenting with new sounds. Striving to push me further every session and every song. I’d like to release 2 EPs throughout the year, I already have a gang of singles ready as well so there could be something dropping before you know it.

Anything you would like to say?

Look out for more from myself & the homies we’ve been working hard and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! Much more to come for updates follow the Twitter, Instagram, Fanburst, YouTube or anything Tamani Joy, share with a friend, give feedback, all support is appreciated and enjoy
