I Am Tyson Amir

Tanesha's Work.

“Colloquial speech from the tongues of blacks/ passed down from the briar patch/ cotton fields where the masters used to crack our backs/that’s where my soul was born at.”

Bay Area Born & Bred.

Born and bred in the Bay Area is the creative, Tyson Amir. He is a rapper blessed with a poignant message, electrifying cadence, enlightening lyrics and it all combines to form a music with enough heart and soul to move a generation. Tyson is also a poet, emcee, educator, author, activist but if you ask him he’ll say he’s “a freedom fighter”. His fight is born out of love for humanity, justice and peace for all. Each one of these layers are intricately woven into his praxis and practice.
