Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, where the grimness and bricks created T-Man, producer, mixer and writer of RAW music. Raw is a slang term used by Chicagoans, which means that something is hot. Based on that term is where I derived the name for my record label, Rawazeva (pronounced Raw As Eva) Records, which was established in 1998. Shortly after, my first album was released, under my label, called "On The Battlefield", which basically describes what it was like growing up in the Chicago projects. My most recent project is Rawazeva Presents...T-Man: The Unexpected. The title is self-explanatory. This album is so diverse. No two songs sound the same. "Momma" is a song dedicated to the grandmothers who took on the role of mothers, including my own. She was the backbone to my family. "Everywhere I Go" explains what life was like and how it still is. It tells a story of what I saw and heard. Real life experiences. "Werkin' Dat Pole", simply put, is the first ever, in hip-hop history, stripper rock song. As song 7 suggests, I "poured my life" into this album. Not only will you hear my music, you will feel my music. They all go hard.
