T-Pain
Coming out of Tallahassee, Florida, T-Pain started making music as a
youngster, recording four-track keyboard beats and rhyming over them
beginning at the age of 10. As a teenager he rolled with a crew called
Nappy Headz, finding local success with rowdy street records like
"Robbery" and "F.L.A." After the group's shine began to dim, T-Pain
switched his focus to singing, calling his own unique style "Hard & B."
Now recording as a solo artist, his demo track "Time to Make Love" was
added to the rotation at local radio station, "The Beat," 100.4, and
started making waves. In 2004, he reworked Akon's hit single "Locked Up"
into his own tune entitled "Fucked Up" and the song took off regionally.
Akon himself was so impressed by the cut that he signed the young singer
to his Konvict Records imprint. In the fall of 2005 T-Pain dropped his
first major label single, the Zapp-flavored "I'm Sprung," in anticipation
of his debut album Rappa Ternt Sanger.
