Turn Your Attention to Tyler Thomas: One of the Next Big Names in Hip-Hop

…this man is quite good. Managed by the same dude as Cris Cab, Tyler Thomas seems primed to be the next big name to make “the leap”–in this case, that being moving from music blog adulation to big-time, maintstream success and domination. You could see his mastery of the english language and unorthdox rhyme scheme through his great take on the Blackstreet classic, No Diggity.

Probably more importantly, Thomas just dropped a new mixtape called “Higher Learning.” It features 12 tracks and two bonus freestyles from the LA young gun, and it does not disappoint–really shows his range, and more importantly his potential. This kid's got a ton of that.
