10.11.11 20/20 Hip Hop Live!

When Torae first started rapping, he wanted three things: a beat from Primo, a beat from Pete Rock, and to be signed to Def Jam. Hey, two out of three ain't bad. His new album For The Record builds on the success of his Double Barrel project with Marco Polo, and if you like raw, heavy, gritty, no-f*ckin'-around street boom bap, then Torae is your guy.
