Photo credit to BRMNFOTO The Come Up Show is excited to announce a new series starting this September: each Monday, we'll be featuring a new artist under our "Don't Sleep On Me" banner. The aim is to shine the spotlight on artists making moves who we feel deserve more attention than they're getting. In short, it's the essence of what we as a blog have always striven to provide: a bridge between good music and eager listeners. With that said, we're proud to present the first artist in our series:
Tech Rymes. Hit the skip to read our full debut feature.
Name: Oluwatobi Ajibolade
Hometown: Brampton, ON
Influences: Nas, Kool G Rap, Jay-Z, Cam'ron, Kanye West, Drake, J. Cole, Pusha T
Sounds Like: Hip-hop fused with electronica. "It's a mix [...] One of the artists I really like is Imogen Heap. She's a singer, and she makes her instruments out of anything around her: a clicking sound, the snap of a finger, the crackle of fire. I just try to be as versatile as I can, and that's what's important to me."
Latest Release: Flawed & Strong (August 2013)
Must-Listen Tracks: "Flawed" and "Keep Frontin"
