Early on, T-Wayne realized that the key to unlocking his dreams was simple. He just had to grind harder than literally everybody else. "I put in crazy work," he declares. "I can be funny sometimes with my lyrics, but I'll throw something real in there too. It's usually about the hard times I faced trying to get here. These songs all came from somewhere. There were times I didn't feel like I was going to make it, but God blessed me and I never stopped or threw in the towel. I never will either.
"Before "Nasty Freestyle" became one of the biggest hits of 2015 and he scored a major label deal with WeRunIt/Unauthorized/300, the Dallas-born and Houston-based rapper first picked up a mic at just 15-years-old. Inspired by listening to everybody from Eminem and Cam'Ron to Slim Thug and Mike Jones as well as watching 8 Mile with his dad, T-Wayne cut mixtape CDs that he'd sell to his classmates. He was hustling even in high school! Graduating, he split his time between three jobs and rapping all night at home. His "South Dallas Swag" hit Texas airwaves during 2011 and even got Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, and Bow Wow dancing on BET's 106 & Park. Simultaneously, T-Wayne started a tradition of releasing one video per week on his YouTube page, organically amassing a faithful fan base with hundreds of clips along the way. Instead of waiting around, he created his own turning point with "Nasty Freestyle." Over a simmering piano and stark production, he delivers an infectious and irresistible verse, flaunting highly quotable lines like, "got a tiger for a pet, I just took him to the vet" and the booming opener, "First let me hop out the motherfing Porsche."
