Biography

Born and raised in Toronto, Tha Rhyme Animal “T.R.A.” developed his passion for hip-hop in the early nineteen eighties, when his older brother Lemont introduced him to the culture. T.R.A. used to watch Lemont spin records in their parents basement for hours on end, making mixtapes and recording demos on a four track recorder. T.R.A. would be captivated by the music and began studying the four founding elements of lyricism, graffiti, dj’ing and break dancing. T.R.A. has matured so much as an artist over the years and has now begun to focus on his solo career. As a lyricist, T.R.A. wants to deliver his message on a much greater scale and feels the need to showcase his personal message and viewpoints to the world through his music. Being a crucial part of the group Empire has helped mould T.R.A. into the man he has become today and it has provided him with the experience and the know how he needs to become a successful artist. Completely focused and committed, T.R.A. wants to follow in the likes of Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube, M.O.P, Eminem and Method Man who are some of T.R.A.’s major musical influences. All of these artists started careers as part of a group and are now successful solo artists.
With a new flame ignited inside of him we can only expect nothing but greatness from the Toronto Veteran that is responsible for the S.A.R.S. Underground Movement. S.A.R.S Sick Artists Runnin Shit was a mixtape series created by T.R.A. in 2003 which carried on to 9 volumes and sold thousands of copies across Canada hand to hand. T.R.A. is definitely an artist to keep an eye on. He’s versatile and can go any direction with his music, which makes it feel like a surprise every time he releases something new.
