"More Than Music: T$ Is Back With Purpose, Power, and a Different Impact"

In an industry where trends change overnight and staying true to yourself is rare, T$ (Tristen Calhoun Jones) is proving that authenticity, hard work, and unwavering faith in the craft will always stand out. From his early days as a founding member of Camden’s underground rap group Da Breed, to carving out his solo lane with his standout mixtape H2O Vision, T$ has carried the weight of a true artist — someone who raps not just to be heard, but to leave a mark.

Born in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and raised in Camden County, New Jersey, T$ embodies the grit and perseverance that comes from starting with nothing but passion. His journey began in 2009, when he realized people connected with his voice and message. Alongside his crew Concept and B Eazy, T$ laid the foundation of Da Breed, taking on the underground music scene with no roadmap — just a relentless drive to make something real.

2014 marked a major breakthrough. Joining NuWav3 Ent., T$ helped the label win Dynamic Group of the Year at the Camden Underground Music Awards. But for him, that was just the beginning. In December 2017, he released H2O Vision, a raw and polished project that showcased his lyrical depth and ability to turn real-life experiences into stories that resonate.

“Words are made beautiful by actions supreme. We did enough crying. Im taking this spark to the sky to shine with the rest of my alumini, who is with me is CLEAR” T$ says.

As 2025 unfolds, T$ is more motivated than ever, working on new music that blends his storytelling roots with a fresh, fearless energy. From freestyles to new singles, every track is a reminder of why T$ is still one of the most promising voices to emerge from the underground scene.

This is just the beginning. T$’s journey is a statement — that with vision, patience, and belief, the climb to greatness never stops.
