Toddla T Influences

Sheffield boy Toddla T has kindly furnished us with the influences that have shaped his unique sound, ahead of his collaboration with Roses Gabor under the ‘Beats Per Minute’ Bacardi Beginnings competition for a chance to win a production masterclass with the renowned DJ and producer himself.
Its the first album I fell in love with that I managed to source myself, i.e. it wasnt something that was on the radio. It was an album that I heard at my cousins house and I was completely blown away by it. It was the first hip hop record that I studied and was obsessed with. I picked The What because its an early track on the album and I remember it kicking in and catching my attention. Everything about this track and the album, from the beat to the skits, the way Biggie spits his lyrics, his flow, everything, the artwork of the record, to me is still my favourite album of all time. The What is my favourite off that.
