He also founded a partnership with Urban Circle Records (a community centre record label) which allowed him and Flow Yungerz to record a huge amount of songs during the year he spent with them.
In 2008 he left both the group and the label and began to take the initial step towards his independent career; which consisted of freestyling and performing throughout many festivals and music sets across the country.
After moving to Wolverhampton, he began to take his music much more seriously; producing more focus and effort, missing College classes to partake in freestyle battles. Through these freestyle battles, TC was spotted by an individual who knew someone who was looking for members to join the Hip Hop group; NMG (No More Games). After taking up the offer, TC and the group went on to release a mixtape named Pen to Paper; which had a great impact in the streets of Wolverhampton and achieved great sales.
Throughout that year NMG became the word of the town and spread through many areas in West Midlands, which lead to the recognition of several independent record labels and contracts being put into place.

Vision for the future

While working on Who’s About This TooClassical was already on the process of his second mixtape "Vintage". This mixtape took approximately a year to complete because of TC’s obsession of wanting to perfect and define his sound.
With this project he has dug deep within himself to show his original sound and ability to compose songs; he did not want to release just another repetitive mixtape but believes Vintage could lead to the beginning of something special.

The concept of the Vintage is the true definition of his stage name, and his love for olden music. The songs, sounds and samples used are reminiscent of Blues and Jazz, which produces a ‘Classical’ feel.
The ambition to have a hit number one in the charts and touching people’s hearts with his music is strong within TooClassical, and with past success, determination for the future, and an exciting mixtape to release soon; he is not far from achieving this.
