At the age of 19, T.Dot attended his first official studio session and he was amazed at everything that transpired in order to develop a song. He decided right then and there that music was what he wanted to pursue. He performed at open mics and mastered his flow, wordplay, and his the ability to produce a track. T.Dot released his mixtape, titled Love For The Sport: Mixtape Before The Mixtape, on August 13, 2013 which is proclaimed to have a “Lil Wayne Dedication type of feel…”

A few months ago T.Dot released “Tell Me” as the first official single off his upcoming album to be titled Thoughts of Ambition set for release during 2015. “Tell Me” is a witty, club-friendly track with a message behind it all. T.Dot has some of the most awesome parallels and metaphors as his lyrics cut like a razorblade… “I ain’t saying I’m the best, but I’m better than you are”. With this track T.Dot proves that he is a true figure in the game and will be for a while.

T.Dot is one of those rare rappers that seem to have it all; lyricism, charisma and respectable street cred.  He has come a long way in a fairly short period of time, since releasing hot tracks like “The Warmup” and “I Got That”.  His flows have grown to A+ quality and he can hold the flame and ride it out with some of the best there is right now!

The fact that he addresses a variety of issues in his tracks, and raps in a determined way about them too shows his maturity.  Plus he doesn’t steal his rhymes from other rappers, like some of his contemporaries do. Overall T.Dot sparkles on all fronts. His flow is smooth and the production shines on “Tell Me”, making this one banging track!
