L.T. aka Thermal NRG (Pronounced Energy) born and raised in Philly now resides in Baltimore, started writing as a youth watching his Uncle and close family friend perform as the group double force early in the pioneer days of hip hop. Coming from a family of musicians, such as the Delphonics and the group Double Force, it comes as no surprise that this phenomenal emcee is laying down tracks that you have to either love it or like it. Instead of waiting for a studio or producer he became his own… Mixing and laying his own tracks, honing and elevating his lyrical skills, in the basement of his home and in some opinions succeeds some of his comrades that have better facilities and equipment. His determination and dedication to his art led him to writing and engineering the “Destined for Greatness”, “Upper Echelon” mix cd’s, “Higher Jargin” as well as many other tracks to be featured on his next project “Constant Elevation”. L.T. is more than just a rapper, he’s a storyteller, thought provoker, with a sharp but direct approach holding no punches, and a flow that is unlike any of his hip hop predecessors so that in his material he can take your mind from the dance floor to the street, to the college dorm room. That versatility is what defines him a as “Lyrical Tyrant”, and is the strength and backbone to clever delivery. Though he is distant from group N.R.G. (Nobody Rhymes Greater) they still keep there bond and he has held on to and added to his passion for the mic. L.T. has stepped his game up to performing on Open Mic venues such as “Warm Wednesday’s”, “Mic Life”, and “Style Wars” determined to get his music heard by the public.
