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.

你也要想一下
我太晚回家
你不让我洗头发
从发质变差
联想到埃索比亚
城市太吵杂
你每一天挣扎
最后一棵树倒下
从一口沙拉
联想到冰雪融化
你不是superman
怎么变
怎么练
每一天才能救世界远离危险
你不是superman
怎么变
怎么练
每一天在你身边
我就安全 哎呀呀
You are my man,
不要变
每一天反正太多事不能所愿
Baby just be my man
别太远
每一天
只要你抱紧一点,
幸福领先
咖啡还是茶
你也要想一下
我太晚回家
你不让我洗头发
从发质变差
联想到埃索比亚
城市太吵杂
你每一天挣扎
你担心老家
最后一棵树倒下
从一口沙拉
联想到冰雪融化
你不是superman

The lyrics of T-K.A.S.H's "Superman" are primarily in Mandarin, but few English phrases are used that convey the message of the song - that the singer's partner is their hero, their "Superman," who keeps them safe, loved, and happy. The song speaks about the daily worries and struggles that the singer faces, including concerns about hair quality, noisy city streets, and global issues such as deforestation and climate change. However, through it all, the singer's partner is their constant source of comfort and security.
The chorus of the song repeats the message that the singer's partner is not literally Superman, but through their support and love, they are their own type of superhero. The singer pleads with their partner not to change, to always be there for them, and to hold them close. In many ways, the song celebrates the importance of a loving, supportive relationship, and the way that such a relationship can make us feel safe and protected.
Overall, "Superman" is an affectionate and deeply personal song, which uses the idea of a superhero to convey the strength and importance of true love and connection.

I come home late and you won't let me wash my hair. My hair is not as good as it used to be. I think about Ethiopia where the noise in the city makes you struggle every day. You worry about your hometown where the last tree has fallen. A bite of salad reminds me of the melting snow and ice.

Every day there are too many things that don't go according to plan. Baby just be my man, don't be too far away. Every day, as long as you hold me a little tighter, happiness comes first.
