I'm Coming Back To Kingdom!!!!

Today I checked my email and Afton wants me to perform at Kingdom again. I am to hype. I did my thing last time and I just know I'm going ham this time. Here's the Afton site generated flyer but I'll be making my own one soon.
 


Also a little side note. I checked my ReverbNation music page today and I've gone up in the ranks in the Petersburg area from 136 to 107 in 7 days. I'm trying to make the top 100 in the next 10 days though.

Review: T-Money Live @ Kingdom April 29, 2012

As many of you all know I recently did a show with Afton Shows at Kingdom in Richmond, VA. I really like Kingdom because it has that raw undiscovered artist gritty atmosphere to it. It's the kind of venue that you here famous artist say "This is where I did my first show. I had some good times performing here".

It was an amazing show for me. The night started off with performances by various Rock Bands who were amazing. After them were the Hip Hop acts and that's when my time to shine to came. I performed 6 songs from my mixtape, Long Time Coming, including Long Time Coming, Swagged Out, Tick Tock, Playa Mentality, Opposites and Unsigned Hype. The crowd was participating and it really gave me a boost of confidence and energy to work the stage. This was, hands down, my best performance to this date. I wish I could have had more friends and family there to support me but it's something that all indie artist go through. I do appreciate the people who came to support me. This show also motivated me to get in the studio heavily this summer so I guess I have Afton Shows to thank for that. If you want to see footage from it then go to my Youtube Page and be sure to listen my music on my SoundCloud or my ReverbNation and like my Facebook Page. I'll keep y'all posted on more shows in the future.

To Know Me Is To Know My Music

Hey world. I decided to give you all a piece of me. I'm a 21 year old(soon to be 22) Hip Hop and R&B artist and producer from the 804 area of Virginia. I have been doing this since I was 10 around the time my aunt passed away to breast cancer. While the family was making her funeral arrangements, my cousin James "Concise" Potts(follow him @Concise804) was showing me, what would would become, my future. I instantly fell in love with it. The first thing I ever wrote was to Southern Hospitality by Ludacris. Since then I've written so much material, most of it lost to multiple thefts and misplacing of notebooks and binders with my material in it. I started battle rapping in the 6th grade against friends and anybody else who was willing to battle. I've done multiple shows in the 804 area. My first one was in 7th grade at my middle school honors ceremony. My long time friend Marc "Lyta" Payne (Follow him @Mr800and4) were asked by our Science teacher to do a remix to Nas' If I Ruled The World after hearing us rap for a science project we did earlier in the school year. After that I moved to another school system where I continued to write more songs and do more battle raps. I ended up realizing my singing talents in junior high school and since have been writing R&B songs as well as singing my own hooks. After high school I came to VSU where I ended up networking with fellow artists, performing at fashion shows and winning talent shows such as the 2009 Ape-ollo Talent Show hosted by the Beta Gamma Chapter of alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. My most recent show was on April 29, 2012 at Kingdom in Richmond. Here are some clips from the performance below.








My first mixtape, Long Time Coming was a whirlwind of trials, tribulations and emotions. My freshman year in college I began work on my debut mixtape. At the time, it was going to be titled First Encounter but after years of pushing it back and people wondering how much longer it would be before it dropped or if it even would drop so in 2011 I changed the title to Long Time Coming. I ended it up recording the entire mixtape the week of it's release while battling a growing cold and through all the hard work and late nights it was completed and put out to the public on November 11, 2011 (11/11/11). The mixtape features 15 songs with collaborations from Cedric "Chemistry" Scott(Follow him @1_LostKing) many of my B.E.T.T.A. Entertainment label mates including SpotZ (follow him @_SpotZ) and Slim Royale (Follow him @SlimRoyale) and production by myself as well as E'Class (follow him @Eclazzz), who produced the title track Long Time Coming and Make Love, and my homie Tre (Follow him @TreIII3), who produced Playa Mentality and Rock With You. You can listen to and download individual tracks off of Long Time Coming below or download the entire mixtape at www.hulkshare.com/T-Money804





On August 4th 2009, E'Class and I founded B.E.T.T.A. (Building Entertainers To Top All) Entertainment. Over the years we have picked up 4 other members including SpotZ, Dena X, Slim Royale and Bates The Boss. We are currently working on the B.E.T.T.A. Entertainment Mixtape dropping August 4th, 2012. You can listen to some of our music below and be sure to follow us @BETTA_ENT.
