ICONography by Tim'm
Tim'm T. West has been known since his days with queer hip-hop pioneers, Deep Dickollective, for his unapologetic affinity for not only Golden Era Hip Hop, but also the broad mix of sub-genres and styles that have long defined him as an artist. A published poet, celebrated Spoken Word artist, and vocalist whose stylings have been compared to Will Downing, Omar, Joe Williams, and Nate Dog, Tim'm is defined by his aversion to narrow definition. A celebration and Iconic Renaissance man who is as well known for his interventions in scholarship and educational advocacy, ICONography celebrates the humbling journey to iconic status, from his birthplace of Cincinnati to Arkansas and the cities he ventured to through college and beyond. Recorded mostly at 6090 Studio in Atlanta and principally engineered by Mauryce MoTrakx Owens, Tim'm returns to the sound that defined his debut "Songs From Red Dirt". He sings, emcees, offers strong Spoken Word performances and lush harmonies with featured vocalists like Ceedro and Damian Nova. We are fortunate if this is not the last we hear from Tim'm, but the beginning of a new brave era marking his creative genius and longevity.
