TLBB - Thumper Lewis Bringin' Beats
This is a side project I have. I am also the bassist for Sledku, an neo-alternative band. I am just taking ideas and putting them with funky, old-school style beats.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
TLBB - Thumper Lewis Bringin' Beats
Started in the studio in June 2003. TLBB's first album "Welcome Home Thumper" is set to come out in fall 2003.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't rap in clubs. I don't rap at work (well, maybe when I'm working with one of my boys from NYC), I don't rap in the car, I don't rap on the bus. I started rappin' back in '90 when I used to freestyle with my boys. Ironicly, back then we were dissin' each others moms in our rhymes. Some things never change, I guess.
Your musical influences
My hip-hop influences are: BDP/KRS-ONE, Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Too Short, Tribe Called Quest, Slick Rick, 2 Live Crew, and Notorious BIG.
What equipment do you use?
I use the Yamaha RY20 for my beats and the Casio CTK-518 for the music.
Anything else?
If you dig this, cool! I'm just doing this for fun, yo!
