Knighted by conscious rapper laureate Mos Def as the "Marvin Gaye of Hip-Hop," Tyson Amir is driven by an incurable zeal for his craft. On his first LP "Purpose," Tyson bursts at the seams with unfettered passion, with a flow that lands somewhere amidst Nas, Black Thought, and Blue Scholars. His producer, onBeats, serves up rhythms sampling tinkling jazz flute, snarling electric guitar, and nasally futuristic synths that Tyson slathers with his unique blend of Cali pride, storytelling and social commentary. Tyson started his rap career busking on the street while holding a "will rap for food" sign and this eloquent preacher of the hip-hop Gospel has stayed hungry. (John Flynn)
