Toddy Tee

b. Compton, LA, California, USA. Among the Los Angeles previous college, Toddy Tee is really as significant towards the advancement of west coastline rap as Afrika Bambaataa would be to the brand new York picture, though he seldom gets the credit. This most likely has a good deal regarding having less musical archive his profession has created. One essential such record was the Batteram tape, a live outing circulated in very similar fashion towards the Zulu Country’s ‘throwdowns’. It had been afterwards revisited in Ice-T’s ‘Six’, and noted the LAPD’s brand-new weapon within the battle against crack homes, an armoured car they could get straight into believe’s homes. The tape was among a sequence exchanged between Toddy Tee and fellow rhymer Mixmaster Spade, but demonstrated much more well-known than anything which had opted before. Within the wake of its achievement it was ultimately released as an individual on Evejim in 1986, which would add ‘Simply State No’ to Tee’s discography 2 yrs later. However, this gives scant testimony towards the man’s influence.
