After honing his skills on Bay Area revolutionary hip-hop group The Coup's projects Steal This Album, Steal This Double Album and Party Music, T-KASH is set to unleash his magnum opus, Turf War Syndrome, on a world now weary of commercialized gangsta fables and the prostitution of hip-hop.

Featuring production work by industry-veteran and fellow revolutionary hip-hop artist Paris, Turf War Syndrome employs verbal assistance from both The Coup and Paris, among others, and stands as a project that promises to play an essential role in the resurgence of quality hip-hop.

"I'm not just a rap artist, I am a product of the hip-hop industry," said T-KASH, who grew up in Oakland, California, and directly experienced the sharp rise and fall of Bay Area rap. "The elements of the industry raised me as an artist."

With an extensive knowledge of west coast hip-hop, T-KASH has been working closely with Bay Area radio show legend Davey D for over seven years at KPFA in Berkeley, CA. It is through his weekly appearances on The Friday Nite Vibe that he developed a cult following, as many of his listeners not only take comfort in his raw and truthful lyrics, but also in the fact that he holds an active position in non-commercial radio. It was there that he first came to the attention of Paris, who signed him to Guerrilla Funk Recordings shortly after hearing a portion of his debut project.

T-KASH's talents as a lyrist and radio host have gained him the attention of national publications The Source, Vibe, and Murder Dog Magazine, who, in 2002, heralded his rhymes on the title track of the Straight Outta Hunters Point soundtrack by stating, "This is what people mean when they are talking about reality rap...he's servin' up heat for real...that's real talk." Indeed. Another Hard Truth Soldier is born.

With a fierce focus on musical quality and content, and with the guidance of a seasoned team of industry veterans, T-KASH is set to do serious damage.
