\nWith a reputation built on his original style and refusal to hop on any industry bandwagon, Ty is best known for his lyrical frankness and honest portrayals of everyday life, setting him aside from many mainstream hip hop acts and allowing him complete artistic independence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After gaining notoriety on the London underground scene Ty signed to Big Dada records in 2001, the same year his mighty debut album \u2018Awkward\u2019 was released. The union between the artist and label saw a further two albums followed by his forth solo album \u2018Special Kind Of Fool\u2019 released via BBE records.<\/p>\n

Ty signed to Tru Thoughts in early 2013 and began releasing the EP series \u2018Kick Snare and An Idea\u2019. Part 3 launched at the start of the year, which includes remixes by DJ Spinna, Lil Dave and Baby Dukes. Expect to hear these new tracks along with Ty\u2019s impressive back catalogue!<\/p>\n

\u201cHe makes mainstream American hip hop sound as formulaic and vacuous as it really is\u201d \u2013 The Times<\/p>\n
