’s memoir could open in a blazing Southern California wildfire. At 18, he and fellow incarcerated firefighters cut smoldering brush and dug parched soil to prevent towering flames from incinerating more acres of hillsides and mountains. He once nearly died when gallons of viscous aerial retardant dropped from a plane knocked him onto the side of a cliff. Today, the 36-year-old L.A. rapper has yet to commit that sweltering carceral nightmare to record.
The short version of T.F’s rap story is that he’s spent the last decade gradually becoming one of L.A.’s sharpest writers while expanding his idiosyncratic and chameleonic catalog. Guest spots on G Perico songs and ScHoolboy Q’s “Tookie Knows II” brought early recognition in 2016. In the intervening years, he’s developed a distinctive yet malleable style. His voice and unmistakable L.A. vocal inflections can make him sound a little like Nipsey Hussle , and T.
Born in Sacramento, T.F spent summers in the Central Valley with his father, a member of the Miwok tribe who took him to visit family and attend events at the local reservation. Back in South L.A. with his mother, he and his friends played football in the Crip-heavy neighborhood known as the 50s. They chose getting jumped into a local set over getting jumped. An attempted bank robbery in his teens and a subsequent probation violation put T.F on the frontlines of wildfires.
