Up & Coming Rap Sesation T-SHYNE

The next post bout to T-Shyne will be a interview for now I am posting this so yall can get to know the Man and the Rapper.

Tafa "T-Shyne" Peters was born on the small but beautiful island of Grenada. As a child his father had moved to America to better his life and support Tafa. At the tender age of 7 Tafa moved to America to stay with his father. He was blessed to move to East Hampton. As a child growing up in the Hampton’s Tafa always stood out. It was never hard to locate him because he was one of the few kids with dreads. He also was always smiling from ear to ear and always making jokes. When Tafa first began rapping it was as a kid, just listening to music and repeating it. However, as he grew older he started writing his own lyrics and he realized his potential and gift.

Tafa started writing almost daily at the age of 11 and up. With that said, he did not take rapping serious until his junior year of high school when he started being approached by many people who all agreed that his talent was definitely there. After such encouragement from both an older and younger age group Tafa began to take his music very seriously and "T-Shyne" was formed. T-Shyne was a name given to Tafa by his peers throughout high school. According to him in stands for Tafa Shyne’s(shine’s). They gave him this name because during high school he was always the kid smiling, he was the young man who could take a dark situation and find brightness out of it. Too Tafa it all stands for him feeling like he is a lot better than many rappers. So he shines over them. Some may say this is cocky but to go anywhere you must first believe in yourself and he certainly does. As more and more people started hearing about Tafa or T-Shyne he started to become a local celebrity.

Yes, being heard locally was nice but T-Shyne knew if he wanted to make it he would need to be heard throughout the U.S. and eventually get an international name. That's when he started promoting his music any and everywhere he could. It just so happened that while promoting online he caught the eye of a couple of well known DJ’s. His first mixtape was hosted by the number one DJ in the UK, DJ Ames. When they teamed up not only did T-Shyne get buzz in the U.S. but he also gained international buzz. Around this time he was being approached by many producers both U.S. residents and international residents. His first main producer by the name of "Rablaze" is a local of East Hampton as well. Rablaze helped to produce some of T-Shyne's biggest hit songs. They both still work with each other. T-Shyne's other main producer goes by the name of "Stigmata." When they first met they clicked right away. It did not take long for Stig to see Tafa's potential and obvious dedication for making it as a musician. In no time Stig and Tafa sat down and had a very important talk on how they were going to tackle his album. Stig explained that he wanted a major roll on the album, hence him being executive producer of the album.

Its 2010 and T-Shyne is a completely different rapper from when he first started. He now covers real life issues that are effecting him such as family, relationship, he focus on making it, and his love for everyone that supports him. He will admit that when he first started he was doing what everyone was doing. Now he does not fabricate his lyrics he tries to keep it real 100 percent of the time. T-Shyne has done many shows and has already opened up for major Artist, for his album he is getting together a few rappers that are known to the industry. He promises there will be many surprises. He also states this album is him raw no fabrications. “this one is from the heart its not about money this one is for me its me raw with no fabrications, you don’t have to like it cause I will.” Before his album comes out he is dropping his mixtape entitled “Still Eating” which comes out on august 7th. The mixtape cover depicts T-Shyne sitting down at a table with rappers on his plate. In other words he is coming to takeover and its by any means necessary.
