TNT is a Toronto rap group from Regents Park. Take a look at this video above. I'm sure you have this issue in your hood too. These young men are very talented and sometimes there has been a perception of all these young rap groups as being gangstas. There are issues with police and other community problems like homicides, guns and so on in Regents Park. We lost 4 alone last year in there.
Albert Kiwubeyi, Nicholas Yombo, Sealand White and Jermaine Derby. Those four 15-18 were all alive when this video was shot and now all gone. My advice to police and community is to work with these young men instead of unfairly targeting them sometimes. Give them a chance and see what they may have to offer.
This is probably a fitting tribute where an entire community comes out and pays tribute to all the ones lost in the struggle. Perfect 10 for this video. Read more about Regents Park. Another rap group who came out of that area are JUNO nominees POINT BLANK.
TnT consists of rappers Turk and Tyke who both originate from the Regent Park housing community in Toronto, Canada. Coming up in this harsh environment with a love for hip hop has produced a unique street sound moulded and shaped by personal trials and tribulations. It’s a sound that has earned the group not just local but national recognition on a unheard of independent scale. Their venomous lyrics are rife with street tales of triumph and heartache along with the hunger shared by the new generation of reality rap artist. Their lyrics warn kids about the dangers and downfalls of thug life and try and show that there are options in life other than the ones they chose without preaching.
