Biography
editT.A. grew up in the volatile Mott Haven section of the South Bronx in New York City. At the age of 16, T.A. found rhyming. Musically influenced by artists like P. Diddy, Ma$e, and Big Pun, T.A. began shutting down the competition in street ciphers. People started calling him "T.A." meaning "T. Arson" because the verses he would spit were “fire.” The “All Day” was added on when one of his friends noted his constant presence on the streets.
In 2006, through the connections of his uncle and a fellow Cypress Avenue associate, Pistol Pete, T.A. met Fat Joe at a Rucker Park basketball game. Later, backstage after one of Fat Joe's shows, T.A. spit a freestyle for Joe and the rest was history. T.A. became a member of Terror Squad.[2] [3]
