I remember once watching Ty-HookZ trade bars with an old head outside of a show in Rhode Island. Despite having years of experience on HookZ, Ty rapped circles around him - dropping punchline after punchline off the top while ol' bul went into his arsenal of prewritten rhymes.
Although, by then, I had been listening to Ty rap for a few years already, it was in that moment where it really hit me just how talented Ty-HookZ actually is.
Whether dropping solo joints, cooking up mind expanding anthems with CrissB, or floating around with UZOO, the Hartford-based emcee has proven time and time again that he has a way with words. And "FWM" is no different, showcasing HookZ catch as catch can delivery as he fills the track with sharp witted quotables. Featuring production from Anu El Bey, Ty glides over the locally made instrumentation as he boastfully proclaims what most of his contemporaries already recognize as fact - it's not many out there who can fuck with him.
From lunch room raps to rocking stages around the New England area, HookZ has been taking mental notes and learning as he journeys through life. If you ever have a conversation with dude, it doesn't take long to recognize he has a solid head on his shoulders - one that can undoubtedly be chalked up in part to a willingness to learn from each experience he thrives through.
It's been a minute but it's nice to hear something new from this half of the AQMNI duo.
