Trill Shit

With Torrence Hatchet (Lil' Boosie) at his side and a raucous crowd of Chicago, IL, dope boys and dopettes swaying to his every move, South Carolina underground king T-Geezy is feeling right at home.



And he's got a message for the mainstream masses set to discover his boisterous Asylum Records debut, Heartbeat of da Streets set to drop later in the year or early next year. "They better gear up for me, cause I'm coming out hard," shouts a riled-up T-Geezy, playing to the amped spectators. "It's all the way street, strictly for the thugs, ain't nothing gonna change."



Inside T-Geezy's universe, the attitude is trill, and you gotta love it. According to him, there isn't a major label deal lucrative enough to change this bad boy. "They signed me because I do me, so why change that?" he asks after the show. "The only say they have is when to release the album."



A staple on the Southern underground scene since 1998, Torrin German,has always been strong-minded. Ever since he hit with his signature spasmatic drawl as a member of the South Carolina's rap crew "Berkley Forrest/Hop Town Records", he hasn't wavered from his unapologetic brashness. After all, this is the man who lives "On the Burg": "I'm only going to do what works for me."



Shortly after the Underground release of T-Geezy and Dominique Hopkins(D-Hop) 2004 debut, Double Trouble, his crew disbanded because its front man, Ricardo Tucker(Pete), was incarcerated. The then 16-year-old T-Geezy formed the Nu-Souf Entertainment roster( Kenny Mcfadden) "Lil keezy" and "Greg Cuttino" "Young Tino" ,I was forced to make a move, and I haven't looked back since."



The success of T-Geezy's 2005 Leaders of da Nu-Souf helped stretch his fan base well outside of the Palmetto state and turn lable heads. It also marked the introduction of another Nu-Souf/Mo Money Ent. upstart — Dominique Hopkins (D-Hop). The duo's chemistry sparked 2006's Mo Money Ent. unreleasted project EastSide HardHeads and Slaughta Musik. Now with the muscle of Asylum behind him, and Mo Money's rising appeal, T-Geezy is not the only one excited about his prospects. "T-Geezy is going to pull it off," insists Trill/Asylum Recording artist Lil' Boosie. "He's seasoning the gumbo that we got going right now." Reminiscent of vintage Hot Boyz material, T-Geezy's album is gonna be packed full of trunk-rattling beats and scathing street lyrics. From MTV's"(SWEET Sixteen The Movie's)"Walk Through Life", to demanding his respect on the bouncy "King of the City" feat Lil Boosie," the only thing that can hold T-Geezy back is himself.



"Sometimes I want to say fuck it and not do interviews and promo work," he says as he flips through a magazine. "But I know I gotta be serious about my career and reach those people who don't know me yet." Consider this an open invitation to T-Geezy's universe.
