Tommy Wright III is an American rapper and hip hop producer.[1][2][3] He began rapping in Memphis, Tennessee during the 1990s and is considered to be an early pioneer for fast-paced rap and trap production in South Memphis.[4][5]

Musical career[편집]

Growing up in Memphis, Tommy Wright began producing music using four-track recording equipment. Between 1992 and 2001, he released five self-produced solo albums, one with N.O.D., and two more with group Ten Wanted Men, owned, operated and produced the entirety of Street Smart Record's discography and previewed – if possibly never distributed – a street documentary, Behind Closed Doors, for which there's also a soundtrack.[6]

Resurgence[편집]

Despite stepping back from the music industry after 2001's Behind Closed Doors (Da Soundtrack), Tommy Wright III maintained a cult following through the 2000s and 2010s.[7]

Tommy Wright III collaborated with Bay Area rapper Lil B on Secret, a song on the latter's 2019 mixtape, Loyalty Casket.[8]
