Tai Mahmud (Rapper/Poet/Spoken Word Poet) In music there have always been iconic figures that fall into the heavyweight category who lead and light the way. Tai Mahmud is the next big thing and falls into this category already. A major influence, with lyricism inspired by his Islamic way of life and the tough issues facing it. With astounding, clever, witty and genius lyricism he continues to woo and impress heavily with content that is extremely original and inspiring. DmG, producer of his upcoming debut single “Goodbye” said: “I have never known anyone to write the way he does, in any genre of music. He is truly gifted and blessed with a rare gift. I know that a lot of people say that about a lot of musicians and entertainers but he really is. And it was an honour to work with him on Goodbye. Just to let you know how gifted and talented I thought he is, I just gave him the track, and told him I’d never heard anything like his material before, please just have the track” A Muslim SpokenWord/HipHop artist who takes his content seriously, by indicating in his material that he is deeply conscious about what he writes about, and will take upon any issues that need to be acted on. “100% of his material is entirely inspired by Islam and the knowledge that has been bestowed upon him, and he thanks Allah every day for each day that passes.” - Sul Malik (Omni4ce Productions) Many tracks and pieces have come to the attention of the Nobel committee on several occasions, each time failing to assure that he is a major contender for the literature prize. Being recommended a great number of times, Osiris still isn’t disheartened and still lays claim he is more interested in causing interested on major world issues through his material rather than winning prize. The Islamic poet who is also a major supporter of Amnesty International, has pledged the sales of his debut single to Islamic Relief in order to help families struck by the cataclysmic events in Iraq. Sul Malik issued this statement regarding the relase of Goodbye – “ It’s not everyday, someone does this for a track, yet alone donation of 100% of track downloads, that is amazing and very generous, especially in this day and age. That people is something very hard to come by.” – Sul Malik (Omni4ce Productions) If that isn’t anything to go by, he has also gained enormous respect in and around the country and is starting to amount a huge following globally in places like China, India, U.S. and Europe. Radio stations are already pre-playing Goodbye before it is supposed to be. On stage, Tai Mahmud incorporates the most energetic and astonishing performances. Using everything on the stage at his disposal and keeping the crowd in with him as he gazes into it with full eye contact. “He is very unpredictable, and brings out the best in the crowd he is performing to. Just imagine it, his masterpiece work combined with a performance, where he covers every part of the stage, and sometimes the crowd, it is a performance that will stay in your memory” – Kev White (Teleporta Records and Productions) The Tai Mahmud influence continues to grow as major record labels battle it out for his contract internationally and nationally. “Tai attracts an extreme amount of people because he doesn’t stick to that whole UK Hip-Hop thing, he represents on a global level, which is what differentiates Hip-Hop from other forms of music, this is why he is going to be the next big thing and he will change the world” – Sul malik (Omni4ce Productions) The music world is filled with conscious artists and material that delves into the issues that need attention. But here is an artist that takes his music seriously, and who follows up what he expresses. Being inspired more by life experiences, knowledge and the alternative will allow us to see a completely different type of songwriting brought to the table by Tai Mahmud. He has a distinctive outlook on life through his rhymes and a complex array of wordplay cleverly linked together to create catchy, ear gripping moments. Not just on the chorus’ but in all his verses too, physically imprinting it on your memory. The best advice I can give you would be to see him live, in order to see his energetic performance, hear his genius wordplay, and be in the presence of an amazing artist. Overall, the whole experience will be more than breathtaking for you. I saw him recently at a Palestine fundraiser, and boy did he leave the crowd raging for more, they were still looking at the stage hoping he would come out again, I’ve never seen anything like it. – Kev White (Teleporta Records) The buzz is building, and his debut album (which is currently being recorded) is being eagerly awaited not just by the Islamic world but by the world in general. I have heard some of the tracks, and let me tell you, it is definitely worth waiting for. |
