I got 240 flows, with a very distinctive sound like no other, aggressive & straight to the point , with music that has meaning to each song you hear from me, I'm sure to keep hip hop music alive, Bringing a new style that any age group can vibe to.

Tupac, Eminem, Lil Wayne , and method man inspired me to make music. at the age of 16 I started writing and practicing freestyling. Most of my raps are freestyle, and are consistent with my life because it's what I did when I grew up in Miami (Hialeah). Tgrough all the struggle I went through as a kid with my single mother with no money, constantly traveling and struggling to make ends meet, being disrespected by guys, I started skipping school , eventually dropped out, selling drugs, and getting into trouble. A lot of times my cousin and I would steal cars jus for the rush and drift it or race it. One day I decided that I needed to make a change for my self positively before my life would end up in destruction, I could've ended up in jail, or worse.. dead.. I went all in with the idea to rap, and put it all in my music I make now. This Then was my way out of negativity, the only way I could express my self and transformed it into making my dreams come to life. I make music that talks about how we live today in life, to not worry about the obstacles we got through and keep your head up high not giving a fuck about what a hater gotta say. If you have haters then that means your on the right track keep doing you, and always keep it real. Youll hear what I went through when I was young , learning that I had to make it out of tough times by expressing my self through music. Every one has talent and a purpose in life, you just need to find yourself and give it your all. I was very into the Nissan 240sx as a kid as well, and built them. I ended up building a right hand drive 240sx and swapped the Nissan skyline twin turbo motor into it, for the passion of drifting and racing it. That's when I came up with my artist name "Tu Forty". I then starting making music about how I built my 240sx from the ground up proving people that didn't believe in me that I finished it , and would show stop from car meets , throughout the city, taking risks , drifting , and racing .. that's when I figured music was my way out of trouble and poverty for my family, I pursued my passion incorporating the Nissan 240sx in my raps youll hear what I went through as well as what I had to do to reach this great goal in the music career. I bring hype to my music, you can feel my passion through my rhymes , my lyrics you can relate to . I like making music that every one can relate to. Every song I made talks about what I learNed in life and what I go through and people go through every day.
