Tropic Apollo - Fame

Tropic Apollo or 'T.A' for short. - A true music freak in a sense. I've been, no. scratch that; I've known I was going to be involved in music for as long as I can remember. My mother tells me all the time "I still remember when you were two, running around the house banging on walls, or anything you could find to make a beat. It was from right there I always knew you'd do music." <- & it's the truth. My entire life I've in-visioned myself becoming successful, really really successful, and it's weird because in a way I knew it'd be from music. Btw I hope my direct approach of talking doesn't imply I'm not as serious as most artist because that's not true, I just figured we'd get to know each other. So.. . I'd say from the ages of 3 to 9 what happened in my life was, well.. . to say the least unexpected. But my belief is that things happen, good or bad, because it's part of our destiny. And that if whatever happened good or bad didn't happen, you might not have the same outlook or wisdom you have now. Get it.. I'm a very spiritual person and connected to the real G O D's unlike 80% of the world. Which means my sub-conscience and conscience mind work in harmony. Thus, my music is OFF THE FUCKING CHAIN. I grew up in a little town called Champaign. "Home of the UofI fighting Illi.." blah blah blah. Anyway most of my life it was just me and my mother. She grew up in Boston with an adopted family and moved to Champaign, IL years later. I'd say I was around 6 or 7 when reality struck riding bikes with some kids from the neighborhood. They stopped at home to get something and for a brief moment I saw their father, mother and them all standing next to one another. It only made me ask one thing, "where's my father". That night I asked my mother. & what I found out was that he was in prison for murder. I met my father for the first time when I was 13. It was like looking into a mirror that's alive. He was born and raised on the West side of Chicago. He used to be heavy on the gang-banging side. Had niggas working for him when he was 16. He was the show stopper. The nigga in an Italian suit, with gold around his neck and a pistol underneath his dress shirt. But like most drug dealers, eventually shit hits the fan. My mother who was just as much ivloved in the streets couldn't help but fall in love. Growing up was rough. My mother took most of my attention because she needed me. She was lonely, didn't have any friends or much a life. I remember not going out with friends just to stay at home and watch movies with her. I was her only friend, somebody had to be there. Over time having no money with a lot of responsibilities got the best of her and she began drinking A LOT more than usual. She always played music though. Whether she was happy or crying. I grew up listening to every style of music there is but my mother mostly played hip-hop (when hip hop was still hip hop). From Mobb deep - Quiet Storm, to Nu Shooz - I can't wait, I've rocked with it all my entire life. I have a deep past like most people and aren't even scratching the surface of what's there, just know music's always been an outlet for me. I have books from when I'm 13 rapping about stuff older people should have said during the time. I started making beats in 2008 using Reason: Propeller Head. But my computer crashed. In fact it crashed 3 times in different years after I'd spent countless hours on making stuff. Beats and full songs. It makes a person want to quit, but like i said, everything happens for a reason. 6 years pass and I'm here. I mix my own music, and write my own songs. Each songs comes from a place in my mind where heaven or hell meets earth. There's a lot of feeling in music and that's what it's about for me. My birthday is July 14th, which makes me a cancer. Very emotional people, but I know myself and know balance. The name Tropic comes from the 'The Tropic of Cancer', also referred to as the Northern tropic, is the circle of latitude on the Earth that marks the most northerly position at which the Sun may appear directly overhead at its zenith. Apollo is the God of music, as the greeks believed (but they stole everything from Africa like everybody else so apollos true name is probably something different) Apollo is the son of Zues and Leto. His twin sister is Artemis. He is the god of music, playing a golden lyre. The Archer, far shooting with a silver bow. The god of healing who taught man medicine. The god of light. The god of truth, who can not speak a lie. Ok all together now., Tropic Apollo. There you have it. Listen to my music and support me. The change has come .. .
