Biography

The older sibling of Treacherous Three's Special K, T la Rock's greatest contribution to hip-hop was "It's Yours," a 1984 single produced by Rick Rubin. Special K was originally set to record the song, which was written by both of the brothers, but he convinced his brother to do it instead. Although it's been said that it was the first Def Jam release, it actually wasn't -- it was technically… Read more in Amazon's T La Rock Store

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

T La Rock, the master of the metaphor and complex rhyme design has reigned as the Lyrical King for over two decades. Inspiring a countless number of your favorite emcees from Kool G. Rap to Kool Keith, T La Rock pioneered lyrical complexity during Hip-Hop biggest growth spurt: the early 80s. This man’s formidable style gave birth to many intellectual lyricists. Teamed up with super-producers Kurtis Mantronik and the legendary Rick Rubin, T La Rock has every right to claim the throne. “It’s Yours” might be the classic most will look back to, but this full-length album is chock-full of hits and boasts 5 bonus “12-inch only” remixes as well. T La Rock is the Lyrical King, now give the man his crown.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The lyrical King, from Da' Boogie Down Bronx!!", August 23, 2005
"Commentating, illustrating/ description given, adjective expert..." were the eye opening, jaw dropping, opening words on the ground-breaking, mega Hip-Hop classic, hit-single "IT'S YOURS". Although the lyrics on "IT'S YOURS" were written by his older brother "SPECIAL K" (member of the Treacherous 3), T La Rock would later team up with producer extraordinaire and master of the beat "MANTRONIK", and put out a string of classic hits through out the mid '80's. T is better known for his superb lyrical eloquence and metaphor mechanics (and giving birth to LL's original style of rap. Just listen to his first album closely). Super Rapper T La Rock has NEVER recorded a wack record. All his joints are "Funky Fresh"! This CD contains nothing less than classic, raw, B-Boy material. This is Hip-Hop in it's purest , rawest form. In T La Rock's own words "strong lyrics, no gimmicks, no yes, yes, ya'll!"
