"T. Parris (born Terry Parris) began his life in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY. At the young age of 3 T.P. moved to Harlem where he was raised by a remarkable combination of his grandmother (his greatest inspiration), the mean streets of Harlem, and his dad, when time and circumstances permitted. His other influences include such diverse minds as Marvin Gaye, Nas, Magic Johnson, Malcolm X, Dr King and Tupac Shakur. Upon being introduced to his lyrics, the listener may note that T.P. (or Parris as he likes to be called) has lived a difficult life. It was through the writing down of his tribulations and hardships that he realized his gift as a writer, and through the ensuing noteworthy street buzz that his talent as an MC was realized. In an effort to make the most of his obvious abilities, Parris has been focused on writing and rhyming for over 10 years. To some he is the Rakim of his era, and to others he is the Langston Hughes of his genre - either comparison leads one to believe that Parris is a great look for hip-hop music."-Bio
T Parris is undoubtedly a veteran to the rap game and a pioneer when it comes to the art of lyricism.
