When he is not working or protecting his beloved city, he can be found in the Studio using his better know alias: TI2BS.
The definition of this moniker automatically creates a vivid insight into the content that you can expect to receive while consuming his music, as TI2BS is an acronym for either "Talented Intellect Beyond Britain’s Shitsym” or “TypIcal Black Brother Stressed”.
With 7 mixtapes, one album and an appearance on WU TANG CLAN legend RZA’s project - THE WORLD ACCORDING TO RZA - already under his utility belt, Ti2BS is certainly no stranger to the UK Music scene.
As former member of two of the most influential crews in UK Hip Hop history: MUD FAMILY (SKINNYMAN, CHESTER P, FARMA G) and THE ONE CREW (SWAY, SINCERE, PYRELLI), and having toured the breadth and width of the UK with Hip Hop veteran RODNEY P, Tottenham resident TI2BS is held in particularly high esteem amongst his peers.
With his unparalleled pedigree and the unquestionable quality of the forthcoming SUPER TI2BS project, the future looks very bright for TI2BS.

Nazo Mr snacher
Nshaishibepo nkabeulapo
Fino efyo naisanga tefyo nali nokuba no
Ndeilolesha ndeimona mu mirror
Image ndemona efyo nawamya naine ifikope
Twale filota kwati fili muli movie
Waima mu reality life naikaba
Wabwela futi waya kontwelapo nomusana
Efyo chali mailo nalelo futi efyo chili
Tafyakacinje balifipenya ekobacili
Tafyaba easy tafisa nga ubwali pambale
Naba kutusha balashupa shako kandeya
Twalefisunka so fyaliko nga ambition
Mona efyo nali nefyo naba twalilwishenye
Pakuti bakatulishepo pa radio
Ninshi natupalamina ukunwa doom
Yalishupako but naifwe tulesha
Tufwaya tuka pwisheko pressure
Teti umbone naine ndepuma leisure
Busy muli hustle not nkwate less ai
Nefyo nalepitamo nabo they don't know
Nefyo napitamo nabo they don't know
Nalipitamo mufingi they don't know
Yalishupileko life they don't know
Balya twalufishe abanesu eba papafye
Balyamba nokupalama balya abatwalasha
Tabalepalama palya takwali bine
Baletutaluka bonse nabena chile
But futi nshaleposako naine amano
Focus yali kundalama nsekesheko mayo
Abanobe bamo bakulekubwesha kunuma
Nobapalamika am just keeping a small circle
Nobody tapali nowangafwilepo
Balikpmene tapali uwaiswile door
But futi amapalo double double
Nalepokelelafye kuli bashi Emma
Lyonse nalepepeka ama bag ya ndalama
Olo nga shamoneka ndelilapo holy baba
Noseka nalesekelela fye kumutima
Nshalemoneka kubantu balya abaoyo
Yalishupako but naifwe tulesha
Tufwaya tuka pwisheko pressure
Teti umbone naine ndepuma leisure
Busy muli hustle not nkwate less ai
Nefyo nalepitamo nabo they don't know
Nefyo napitamo naine they don't know
Nalipitamo mu fingi they don't know
Yalishupileko life they don't know
Uhh ela sue boy suzyo Bashi Temwa
Nefipondo pakatondo
Komboni yonse namiyaza
Ehh mwalishiba fye taficila apa iconic
