Tyrone’s love of words and passion for life and all things beautiful create verbal sketches of the world as seen through the eyes of an African American man who is proud of his family, heritage and culture. His is a perspective that far too often goes unrepresented.
Through creative wordplay, we learn what drives a kid from the projects in Daytona Beach, Florida, to become a Youth Ambassador, a Morris Brown College Alum and then a public-school educator.
Tyrone Weems is a thought-sparking, skin-hungry human being who will have your head nodding to his rap album Return of the Real, this wonderful composition of poems in “Obtainable” or to his forthcoming untitled album and kids book, Daddy Do Right. He is one to keep on your radar.view less
