In the gritty streets of Eastside Long Beach, a new voice is emerging with raw authenticity and undeniable drive. TeeEs3x isn’t just another rapper chasing dreams – he’s a man on a mission to build a legacy, carrying the torch of West Coast hip-hop’s rich heritage.
Music runs deep in his bloodline. As the nephew of Compton’s Most Wanted’s Tha Chill, TeeEs3x grew up immersed in the culture that shaped West Coast rap. “I come from music,” he states simply, but his journey is anything but simple.
Working two jobs – one for the City of LA and another for CCM – TeeEs3x embodies the grinding spirit that defines real hustlers. But beyond the daily grind, there’s a deeper purpose driving his music: leaving a mark for his children and contributing to hip-hop’s legacy.
Drawing inspiration from West Coast legends like Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, and Big Tray Deee, TeeEs3x brings his own flavor to the game. After spending 8 years behind bars, he approaches every opportunity with fierce determination. “Sitting down is really a no go for me,” he explains, highlighting the urgency in his mission.
His new release “Nasty pt2,” featuring Tori Torrence, showcases his collaborative spirit. For TeeEs3x, collaboration isn’t just about making music – it’s about genuine connections. “I take time out to get to know the artist through their music or meeting them to feel their vibe out,” he shares.
When it comes to performance, TeeEs3x keeps it real about his pre-show jitters: “I be nervous as a bitch no cap,” he admits with a laugh. But once that microphone touches his hand, it’s “on and craccin'” – pure energy and authenticity.
Despite his rising profile, TeeEs3x stays grounded in his roots. “I’m not no boujee ass nigga,” he declares proudly. “I’m in the trenches of the beach so ima get at them [fans] like I get at my homies – no switch up.”
His perspective on the music industry is equally honest. While he appreciates the platform it provides for artists to be heard, he’s clear-eyed about its manipulative aspects, particularly how the industry can exploit an artist’s hunger for success.
To upcoming artists following in his footsteps, TeeEs3x’s message is clear and powerful: “BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND KEEP STRIVING FUCC WAT ANYBODY THINK DO U CUZ ITS YOUR LIFE GANG!!!”
With his uncompromising authenticity and deep musical roots, TeeEs3x is poised to make his mark on the West Coast scene, proving that real street poetry and genuine artistry still have a place in today’s hip-hop landscape.
