T-Weaponz is an explosive lyrical trifecta hailing from the streets of Brooklyn's East New York, composed of

brothers IzReal and Arkitek and their neighborhood friend Psalmz. After meeting at an impromptu
neighborhood 'CIPHER' (term used to describe a circle of emcees rhyming together) and later discovering how
many similarities they shared both in terms of their life experiences and their ideals they soon came together
under the moniker Tomorrow's Weaponz, which they later shortened to T-Weaponz, representative of how the
trio lives for today and hopes for a tomorrow using their own weapons-thoughts and wits. T-Weaponz's
intellectual lyrics fuse their ability to interweave street scenarios and anecdotes with historical and literary
references. From Ark's precise flow to Iz's raw, straightforward lyrics with Psalmz's poetic flair for metaphors
and wordplay, the MCs formed a perfect triangle, complementing one another and ushering in a new sound for
the masses.

Over the years, T-Weaponz's unique lyrical style, catchy beats and desire to bring truth, hope and justice to
the streets has garnered the group many successes, among them:

2007: T-Weaponz released their digital full-length debut entitled Just Begun.., which
features production from hit-maker Fingazz of Streetlight Music. With this highly
anticipated released, the group was featured in two consecutive issues of The Source
Magazine: Off the Radar (Dec. 2007) and Tale of the Tape (Nov. 2007).

LATV segment following T-Weaponz to their album release aired to exceptional viewer
ship. It beat out Mun2's "One Nation Under Hip Hop," MTV Tres's "Karlifornia," and came
in slightly under MTV's "The Hills" in the Los Angeles Area.

2006: In December 2006, T-Weaponz released the bounce-laden single Dem Boyz,
featuring Houston rapper Trae, which debuted at No. 7 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop
Singles chart, and where it remained for six consecutive weeks.

2005: T-Weaponz's audience skyrockets with the release of the catchy bilingual anthem
Mira Mira. The wildly popular "spanglish" track, which features Cuban rapper Pitbull and
Notch, formerly lead singer of the Born Jamericans, bridges the gap between English- and
Spanish-speaking people with its witty fusion of English and Spanish words. In a matter of
months, the song became an international hit catapulting T-Weaponz into the mainstream.
Mira Mira garnered over 15,000 radio spins nationally and surpassed 50,000 in digital
download sales.

2004 : T-Weaponz releases the first installment of the Survival Muzik MIXTAPE, which
The Source magazine featured in its "Best of the Best" mixtape review section.

2003: the Alchemist-produced Raised in the Slums, off T-Weaponz's independently


released The BlackOut EP, which tackled the issue of being raised in the slums and by the
sound of the gun, entered the New York City scene, and earned them acclaim in Europe
and the West Coast driving the sales of BlackOut EP to over 10,000 units thereby
solidified T-Weaponz's status as a group to watch.

Armed with an endless arsenal of rhymes and an enormous devoted fan base that transcends cultural barriers,
T-Weaponz is poised to blaze into center stage. Check for T-Weaponz at major festivals throughout 2008.
