Artist Check: Tayyib Ali [Hip-Hop] - Snapbacks and Backpacks Vol. 1

Vol.1 of Snapbacks and backpacks segment.



Introducing up-n-coming MC, Tayyib Ali - Not to be confused with Talib Kweli. Who is he you ask? - well it goes a lil something like this...

In 2010 a kid not very well known outside of Philadelphia dropped the single ‘Kid Again.’ Before he knew it, he was opening for many artists around the Philly scene. After a number of singles and the release of his first EP Eighteen he was performing in front of sellout crowds alongside artists like Wiz Khalifa, Chiddy Bang, Mac Miller and Cyhi The Prince- becoming a hit amongst the people of the New England area. His fame has now spread to the Golden Coast (as he talks about so poetically in the song ‘California Love’) and over the past few months getting exposure across international boarders due to his youtube videos (Australian Premiere here on AHS). The kid who wears his snapback and his backback is blowing up right now, and being that his sophomore mix tape just dropped a few weeks ago - it’s not too late to jump on the Tayyib Ali train and not feel like a Bandwagon Rider.

Below and above are some of his nicest videos. Once you're done, get ready to delete Rebecca Black from your iTunes library and replace one completely untalented teenager with another swaggeriffic and completely talented teenager by downloading the Keystone State Of Mind mix tape.






Do not sleep on this dude, you guys will regret to when you jump on the bandwagon like many did for wiz.
Download the mixtape here. I repeat do not sleep.
