Getting to Know Tsu Surf is getting to know
the streets of Jersey. With this project it seems as if
Surf was indulging with his own personal issues of
balancing a career while still facing time. On “Not
Forever” prod. By Young Sam, he speaks out with
not just bars but definitive one liners like “If he never
fell down, how he knows wassup? & even when you
know everything you don’t know enough”! Simple but
powerful! This is Surf ’s strong point! His pen moves
parallel with the streets. None is more evident on
“Never Forget” where he claims there’s “so much shit
to do I need a longer day, road to riches sometimes I
feel like we took the longer way! Friends? I seen a few
that made left instead of going straight, while some pit
stop for pussy and met enemies along the way”!!!
Though Surf kept this project very personal and
underground, “Red Dresses” prod by OVO’s Mike
Zombie and featuring MMG’s Wale & Gabrielle
Findley shows his crossover appeal with his slick
talk. “Loving how you give it up, them neighbors
bang! Who gives a fuck? And once we done she’ll be
stuck, cuz you know, face drippin, ass gripping, new

weekend, it’s different”!
The stand out record on this project is clearly
“House In Virginia”. Surf ’s story telling really shine’s
with lyrics like “Karen phone vibrating when Joe’s
there, luckily he got up! Close shit, it was Qway they
been texting for weeks, even paid her phone bill &
Benny Hanna’s to eat!
Lebron Size 6 surprising her with Sneaks, hit da city
for some drinks and she ain’t even let him beat!
‘What you doing’? Are You free? Well throw
something on, Im a pick you up.... Joe came in the
room about slide, Karen was getting dressed, had
to make up a lie... Damn And the lying’s when it
all starts/ ‘Babe I’m bout to head with Mecca out to
Walmart’.” Not going by typical standards this track
lengths over 8 minutes but the listeners will appreciate
Surf ’s Vision with this one!
The Tsu Me project is dope and sure to please Surf
fans. It seems he’s at a point musically where Either
you get it and your able to relate or it ain’t for you! He
may be unwilling to compromise with “mainstream
hip-hop” which is Daring but in the same breath you
have to respect it!
