Ahead Of The Ranks
All you need is one song to really sweep you off your feet. Fortunately, LA grassroots hip hop artist TiRon has many. Having guested on Pac Div‘s song ‘Paper’, the young LA native has a surprisingly smooth delivery and production to boot, his lyrics spitting love about girls and the city, rumbling with a gutsy musical intention underneath. His latest, off Mustard, is ‘For Your Smile’, an unabashedly romantic but entirely unpretentious or cringeworthy love song, it really shocked me, I was alarmed that this young talent hadn’t come to my attention until now. His syrupy voice recalls Kanye without the egotistical attack, the production is punchy, well-suited and talented. He has two albums for free download on his myspace featuring songs with Pac Div, Ayomari and Blu. TiRon is by far one of the most promising and exciting grass roots rappers to come to my attention in a long time.
