Artist description T-Outlaw a.k.a LIL'T, is a member of the Urban life crew from Alabama. He is a seventeen year old rapper, striving to make it in the music industry, he has already proved himself with his ability to do a wide range of tracks and to always come back on top when he was at his lowest. I was born in Brest, on the westcoast of France on the 23 rd of May 83. Am the last child of a family of 4 children. When I was 9, I moved to Atlanta, Georgia for some reason. When I got there it was so different from where I was born, it was a huge city with big buildings and big houses, filled with violence and crime. This is when I first got introduced with hip hop, when I heard it for the first time I was 11 and I was amazed to hear such a thing, I could feel the vibrations of the music entering my body, hip hop was now what I liked to listen to. The first hip hop song I ever heard was From Outkast it was called "southerplayalisticadillacfunkymusik", I couldn't even pronounce the title but it was tight!!! It was really funny then because in class I would talk about all these groups that no one knew, "Tha Bush Babies, Outkast, The Lost Boyz, Goodie Mob" and then a few years later all these groups got really big, and I was like you see I told y'all, I knew them before any of y'all b*c*es, I was so proud. Anyways, hip hop was my thing and it was something I lived with, so I started rhyming, just for fun. Of course at the beggining people made fun of me called me a wigger and all that krazy type of sh*t but I was like f**k them!!! I don't give a f**k, and at the time I started rhyming I heard Pac, "WHOA!!!", when I listened to his music I was in a different world, he was taking this whole thing to a differentt level, it was rap now, it was still the same kinda style but so different, it wasn't hip hop anymore but RAP. When Pac passed away I was 13, and I was so sad, then BIG passed away and I was like what the f**k is going on!!! After these 2 deaths the whole rap game changed, everything was different the whole style changed and it sucked. I mean Puff Daddy, Wyclef, Mobb Deep, Jay-z, DMX actually got popular!!! So i got completely disconnected from the rap game, the only sh*t I listened to was Pac and old school groups and also some hip hop. At 15, I moved to Paris, France and I was the only person from the ones I hanged out with that was rhyming and that really appreciated rap music. This is when I started to really improve in my rapping skills, I was rhyming all the time, in school for some friends, at my home, in the subway, in the streetz with whoever I crossed at night that looked like he was into the rap culture!!! Anyways I got so pissed about the whole "Puff Daddy" thing that I made a track entitled "F**k Puff Daddy" and then BOOM!!! I was big, I mean it all happened so fast, people was like "Yo LIL'T i love your sh*t!!! I wanna sign you on my label and this and that". To me this was all knew, people had been pissing on me for the last four years because I was white and that I rhymed, but I kept on thriving and after all this hard work and devotion to rap, my dream was happening, I was finally starting to make a name for myself and getting respect from dudes that I ahd in the rap game before I was even born!!! After the "F**k Puff Daddy" song, with all the compliments I had received (am not sayin the haters where gone, it's just that I didn't pay attention to them no more) I made some other songs that were even more appreciated and I got bigger with each day. At frist I refused everything that was offered to me, like organizing a concert, signing with a big label, being featured on a big rappers song, sending my music to the radio. I was refusing because what I had been dreaming of getting for 4 years was happening way to f**king fast, I was intimaded with all the attention that was given towards me. But now that have grown, I have decided to step up, and I signed with Angel Records to have a slow little start to have an idea of this music businees. I didn't talk about how I grew up and the type of lifestyle I lived because you can clearly hear it in my lyrics.

Music Style To remind everyone Rap is a mix of all music styles, it actually started with looping beats from James Brown, which was later called breakbeats.

Musical Influences All styles of music!!!!
