hi, name is tam. im not anybody, i know nothing and obviously, im from the 253.

Hey this is Two Hats from the Nasty Left.
Tacoma is a major hip-hop movement waiting to happen, and this website is the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks to 253hiphop.com for giving us a place to dry our feet just in time to get them wet again.

From our days with the Biznautics, to our current days with the Nasty Left, we've been playing enough shows with different folk now that we know the kinds of talent this illustrious city has to offer. Hopefully this website will help to expand our ever-growing database of hip hop talent in the 253.

Thanks for doing what you do 253hiphop.com.

And to those who don't know, check us out @ www.myspace.com/nastyleft

My name is icurbyou. People think Im a hater. I call shit how I see it.

I was born and raised in Tacoma. I'm not huge on HipHop but I do have respect for anyone who is following their dreams and has an interest in art and I have a tremendous love for my city.
I partake in an "element" that people consider to be 'hip hop'. I listen to every genre of music and I live every style of music.

Art + Tacoma + Following dreams + "hiphop" related activities = why I am here.

I'm Jay Barz.

If you're from Tacoma, you already know me.

If you don't by now, come out of the basement.

If you don't like it, suck it.
