Read the Press Release

IN SECURITY: THE GOLDEN ERROR
“In Security: The Golden Error” is Tim'm's third solo project of new material. It is an autobiographcal lens through Tim'm's life as a black man, a black gay man, and a Hip Hop head. Tim'm examines finding security in ones inscurities and celebrating them. With a host of vocal collaborators and producers, “In Security: The Golden Error” is Tim'm's most polished and upbeat album to date.

"Though his previous work set the bar high for his rhyming peers, In Security has changed the game."
— G-Magazine Now Review

BLAKKBOY BLUE(S)
“Blakkboy Blue(s),” the highly anticipated follow up project to Tim’m West’s critically acclaimed “Songs from Red Dirt: (Cellular Records). The 18 track album, written entirely by West, gives the listener a look into the politics of not just himself, but an entire generation of voices whose more progressive and conscious Hip Hop music has been drowned out by an industry for whom politics = death.

SONGS FROM RED DIRT
"Songs from Red Dirt" is the musical complement to Tim'm's first book, "Red Dirt Revival: a poetic memoir in 6 Breaths" (released in February of 2002). The project features collaborations with vocalist Matthew, Cava Menzies, Chase One, and Manny Black and a cast of others.
