“PAINT THE WORLD WITH VISUAL LANGUAGE…”

If you aren’t hip to Tt the Artist by now you need to keep reading this post because your missing out! Tedra Wilson (Tt the artist) has done some pretty impressive things thus far. Graduating from The Maryland Institute College Of Art she landed an internship at MTV Networks her Junior year of college! How sweet is that? That’s not all, she also has held down the women at “Show Me What You Got” and “Queen Of The Mic” rap competitions. Tt can definitely be described as multi-talented.

If you look at her name you can get a pretty good picture of what she is all about… ART. I am not just talking about drawing (though she does that too), I am talking about rapping, singing, filming, and designing. The chick does it all! She is representing our generation very well;  check out what Tt has been working on:

MUSIC

Tt the Artist has performed with some big names during her career. Some of these names are Oj Da Juice Man, Rich Boy, Cali Swag District, Trina, Teyana Taylor, Yo Gotti, Wale, and Lyfe Jennings.

Tt’s music will have your hands high, heads bobbin’, and hips shaking while you’re partying. She is definitely in her own lane, nothing mainstream, just the way we like it. You may not hear her on your local radio station, but you can definitely catch her tracks being played around Baltimore city’s club scene. Trust me when I say her music is hot! But you don’t have to take my word for it—Check it out yourself.

“As an artist ,Tt looks forward to establishing a place in the music industry. she aims to offer social commentary on the challenges of a female artist through her art. She hopes to someday fulfill her responsibility as an artist by reaching out and making a difference in the through all media outlets.”

ART

Tt’s  specialties in artwork are hand drawn mix-media and computer graphics. She also does a lot of work in video; such as, documentaries, music videos and directing. If that isn’t enough, Tt the Artist also puts her artistic skills to the test through her T-shirt line called CreativeMindXCULTURE (CMXC). Ladies, you should really consider picking up her “Women Power” or “Artist” T’s; they retail at $20.00.

She also gives back! Tt runs her own creative orgainization called ARTISTLAND. This organization provides resources and services for creatives.

Her artwork is just as sick as her music. I put together a few of her pieces, but if you want to view more you can check it out Here.

The Lovely Whitney Houston was born into a family full of musical talent on August 9, 1963, in Newark, New Jersey. Her amazing talent has not gone unnoticed since she has achieved greatness while on earth. Whitney recieved praise as being the only artist to chart seven consecutive #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits, the first female artist to enter the Billboard 200 album chart at #1,  top 10 biggest-selling albums of all-time for the Bodyguard soundtrack (at 17x-platinum in the U.S. alone), and the biggest-selling U.S. single of all-time for the song “I Will Always Love You” (at 4x-platinum).

What is your favorite Whitney Houston song?

I don’t know much about this person/group (Made In Heights) but it’s kind of like Folk/Pop/Rap fusion. I Love it. Take a listen and let me know what you think!!!

p.s. my good friend Lola turned me on to this!

My friend linked me to this band called “We Stole The Kids”. I watched their debut music video “Find Me There” and I instantly fell in love. This band is awesome! You guys HAVE to check out this video & download the song. I can’t wait to hear more from them. Who are they? Well this is what I got from their Facebook page:

“We Stole The Kids is a group comprised of musicians from New York and it’s surrounding areas, all on the cutting edge of the hippest part of today’s music scene. Their songs meld styles that are current and contemporary into an explosive sound that is not only of this moment, it’s a few beats ahead.

WSTK was formed by young artists whose age and experience are disproportionate to one another, eac…h one having large achievements to their individual credit. In prior incarnations, they have performed at the historic Apollo Theater, the Bamboozle festival and Bombfest. By combining the entrancing vocals of Megan Vice, rap and hip-hop from August Coupe, the rock prowess of members Ziya Smallens & Eric Sherman, and futuristic production and keyboard sounds by Scott Mics, WSTK have been able to achieve something totally unique in the current pop climate, but also fits comfortably into many genres. As evidenced on their dance-pop and dubstep influenced single “Find Me There,” this is not a band afraid to make a hit. One can expect many more in their future.”
