YOU ONLY RAP ABOUT WHAT?… Let's get down to it…My name is ToTs and I rap about potatoes. I'll be going into the studio in January to record over 12 tracks for my new album "Au No You Didn't". This will be my third independently released album and the culmination of over 2 years of exploring my creativity through a sub-genre of hip-hop I've pioneered (potato-rhyming.) My producer Mix Master Mash (aka Emmett Van Slyke of Black Lagoon Studios) who plays live with me, will be playing all the instruments and conducting the choir as well as the special guest vocalists & musicians on the album.

SIDENOTE: No one ever thought that after I wrote & performed "Peel Potaydahs*" for the first time that an entire concept album let alone a trilogy of tuber-tune albums would be created.

WHY I LOVE IT... The revelation that hits an "unsuspecting fans" face when they realize I'm rapping only about potatoes is priceless! I get to work with talented musicians and collaborate with everyone I meet, because I NEVER write any lyrics down! I build songs by learning facts about the potato that friends, family & randoms share with me. Mix in pop-culture references and sexual innuendoes and you've got a tuber-tune! I pay homage to the oldskool style I grew up on while poking fun at what rap has become. and YES I ONLY RAP ABOUT POTATOES!!
