Jamil Brown A.K.A (Tragic)(T-Loc) was born in Chicago Illinois the only childhis father pasted when he was a young teen to be raised by his grandmother mother. He lived in three states (IllinoisArkansas California)Only to settle in Minneapolis MN. We stayed in L.A in the mid 80's. Tragic says Now that I look back on it Those were some pretty crazy times out there. I guess moms thought it would be better opportunities in Minneapolis When first arriving the two live with known local jazz singer Debbie Ducan on the southside of Mpls. Debbie pretty much held us down until my m-dukes got on her feet which never takes long. At 16 Tragic Heater A.K.A (Loco Drama) Had signed with then independent liv-a-lil recordsin 96 to release a local underground compilation called Sip of the Sota which had little radio and gained the two artists a little buzz in the STREETS. That was a learning situation for us. It was Heaters first major debut as a producer my first time as a writer and our first time as a group. Tragic says we didn't push that many units. We were real young at the time going through that. Now with alot more experience under his belt he has teamed up with Jennifer Werner A.K.A (J.J. Burner) to launch their own independent label 'Tragic Music Entertainment . The plan is to put Minnesota on the map. There's alot of talent out here. We've got something to offer the world and alot of people still asleep on the T.C. It's time we wake em up to it. This is Just the beginning for T.M.E there is much much more to their story.. So stay tuned and continue to support the underdogs then you to can say you were apart of making history. MINNESOTA STAND UP!!
