When I hear the name “Ta’Lon Rae” I think of rap, hip hop music production, spoken word craft, lyrical art and skill. I see a rap artist that is focused and true to himself. This young man’s personality can only be described by one word… Humble. Ta’Lon Rae could very well own the road map to rearranging the entire rap game.
Well, on one cool crisp day in November, I felt privileged to have had the opportunity to sit down and talk with this new local rap sensation we all come to know as, “Ta’Lon Rae”. He spoke with me about his music and the deep abyss inside from which this music surfaces. I also got to listen first hand, to his stories. Stories of how life was growing up near the, not so pleasant, parts of South Jersey. Stories about the loss of his twin cousins in a city that is much crippling to its natives. He reiterates, “Although city life was not so pleasant at times, I am still its product and I am here to represent to the fullest”. “There were just as many good times, and that helped even out the bad”. “Growing up in the Sicklerville/Clementon areas made me the person I am today.”
As we sat just minutes away from Camden, a bridge away from Philly, Rae shared a grim part of his life in which a very dear aunt of his passed away from cancer. Then, just two years later, his mother was diagnosed with a stage 4 blood cancer. He took the liberty to tell me about the pain that went into writing his first single,”Hard To Swallow”. This song was only released as a single on SoundCloud in dedication to his mother and late aunt. “These troublesome times is what inspired me to start putting the ink to the paper in hopes of creating a new me, never before seen by family or friends.”
Although locally known by many, we see that Ta’Lon Rae is starting to stir up buzz on the internet as well. Many are even starting to compare his writing craft to a young up-to-date Tu-Pac. By way of the internet air waves, Rae’s music is being played throughout the Tri-State area on WDSR Philly Radio, in addition to being played on Jango Radio around the entire world. You can hear Ta’Lon Rae’s new mixtape ep “Real Recognize Real” (Rx3) all over the United States, the UK and even Japan.
With any luck, Ta’Lon can sometimes be caught on Monday nights live on stage at the “World Café Live” in Philly. You can also look forward to seeing more of him when he kicks off new performances in February 2016 (Tour dates to be posted on social media@taylemstew).
Ta’Lon Rae is a prodigy discovered by LeKiTa Management… He has many great stories to be told and it’s time for the world to lend a new ear and listen. This young man launches rap and hip hop to a whole new magnitude. Rx3 sets the bar high for many new artists in the genre of hip hop & rap. We are looking forward to hearing more from this new up and coming artist. I can only see fame in the future for this talented bright new artist. Remember the name… because “Ta’Lon Rae” is here to stay!
