Artists - Hip-Hop

Tam50 aka Ou2suku aka Ex-Konvict, aka Black Nigger the name goes on and on. Wondering who we are talking about?

Real name Tamsir Samba born in capital city of The Gambia Banjul on the 26th of February 1988. Growing in the streets of Banjul, Tam50 ( as he is commonly called) fell in love with music through "Hunting Groups" ( a type of traditional masquarade). He started rappng at the age of 17 when he was in grade 10. That means he occassionally absent himself from classes to have freestyle sessions with his colleagues. He formed the group called Grand Hustlers with Tipsey and they immediately storm the industry with "Ghetto Anthem" a song that kept all music fans talking.

His union with Tipsay didn't last long as they later got other engagements. Tam50's next stop was the Zion Yard Family where he was introduced to Trobul Smallz (who he calls his father). When asked about the 50 in his name, he replied "It's not 50 Cent but 50 Dalasis" (The Gambian Currency). Quizzed more about 50 Cent, "he said I got lot's of love for him as a matter of fact he is ma role model".

Tam50 has been featured in many of T-Smallz's tracks but he has released a single called "Chono Life" which is still a hit track in the country. He is presently working on his mixtape tipped title "Chono Life" which he hopes to launch on Koriteh day 2009. Chono Life is about my life and a lot of people out there. It is a mixtape that will reflect on the everyday struggle of the youths. "I can assure you that the fans will love it " he concluded.
