Tornts

Tornts represents the badlands of Melbourne, Australia and was the first artist to be signed to underground and highly respected label Broken Tooth Entertainment in late 2002. A producer and rapper, he is one of the founding members of the Hired Goons crew. He has featured on and worked with the most respected names in the Australian hip-hop scene, either on production, verses or live shows. Tornts unique style is infamous for it’s raw aggressive style and delivery, with lyrics that are filled with descriptive imagery and real life accounts of urban decay, twisted visions and stories of city life, as well as annihilating other spitters with some sick bars. His first album "Adding Insult to Injury" was released in 2003 and received a lot of acclaim and a strong following, quickly selling all units. In between doing guest spots, he followed it up with "Decimation Recordings" in 2006 ,which was a huge success in the underground hardcore hip-hop scene. "Hells Burn" was next and that was released in 2008, it was a juggernaut of descriptive street tales and imagery ridden verses with the usual fury of a Tornts record that fans had come to expect. All these albums were produced by Tornts himself. The album "The Deadbrain Diaries" was released in 2010, and was the first album where Tornts had other producers get involved in production duties, as well as his own on a record. With critically chosen beats from highly respected producers such as Beat Butcha (UK), Chemo (UK), Ciph Barker (Holland), INCH Productions (France), Tank Beats (Germany), Ciecmate (Melb.), and the best up and coming producers in Australia, Illuminate (Melb.) and WIK Beats (Melb.), this album was set to be a massive episode for underground hip-hop in this country. His newest album "Concrete Slang" was released in 2012. This is the second album where Tornts has other producers get involved in production duties, as well as his own on a record. This album features production from WIK, Nebs, Ciph Barker, Bonezy 2 Bladez, and Beat Butcha. For more information check: www.myspace.com/tornts or www.facebook.com/tornts. Read more on Last.fm.
