“POINT OF DEPARTURE”

“Point of Departure” is my first full album that will be scheduled for release in 2014. It’s about my official take-off in life as a man, an artist, a father, and a son… on the road to something great. I don’t know exactly what yet, but I . Most of the albums material is me dabbing into a little bit of what TAHMELL is all about. I’m a New York kid trying to expand my horizons and have ventured to the West Coast to collaborate with some of the industries top producers, musicians, and artists. I never want to be one-dimensional or too underground. Being that I’ve listened to a lot of different genres growing up, I tried to incorporate those types of sounds… at the same time respecting the basic fundamentals of real hip hop. I believe I can reach people of all cultures and send a positive message out to the world through my music.

TAHMELL was born July 1988 in Long Island, NY... when most were learning to walk, he was

already following his father’s (Hip-Hop legend RAKIM) guidance in terms of music. He began

practicing and perfecting the art at the age of 5 and while most of his peers focused on

playing in the parks and living a normal childhood, Tahmell was able to reap the benefits of

being under the wing of his father. By this time he had realized that music was his calling

and that growing up with the influences and wisdom he had acquired from being exposed

to greats like Krs-1, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, Ice T, and Grand Puba would only help him

establish himself in the hip-hop world.

Throughout his childhood and adolescence, as Tahmell became more involved in sports and

learned the essence of hard work and dedication to something you love, he realized how

this also translated to music, and decided at that point that the only true passion he had in

life was as a musician.

Through the guidance and experiences he had as a child, watching his father at work in the

studio, Tahmell set a goal to create a new sound that combined his own personal style with

the type of classic hip-hop that had always inspired him.

Tahmell recently released his highly

anticipated mixtape, “The After Effect”…

which was the product of many years of

growth and hard work. The release showed

the world just how versatile he truly is,

which makes Tahmell a force to be

reckoned with in his own right.

Expect to hear much more

about this talented young

prodigy... And look out for his

new single, “Don’t Care”, off

of his upcoming album, Point

of Departure, scheduled to be

released in 2014.
