Great reaction. Would love to see you continue up Tom’s catalog for the best experience. Subbed for the journey down the rabbit 🐇 hole. Thanks 🙏🏻 #HOG 😎
Tom makes all his own beats. Nova, his girlfriend, directs films and edits all his videos. Tom used to also do his own mixing and mastering but got to busy, so now he has Evan do that. He sells his own CDs and clothing line. I actually own several autographed CDs. Tom is really an artist and amazing business man. He does amazing promos when he releases albums as well as some hilarious shorts on his social media
The lighting was a choice fed by circumstances. At this point Tom & Nova were completely broke and their electrity was turned off. They were running their fridge on an extension cord from a neighbor's house. He had to borrow the money to push this video on social media. Tom bought the beat for Dear Slim on an NFT. He dropped a bundle on that beat.
Eminem is the reason Tom is a rapper. He used to listen to Pac, but once he found out about Eminem, he had someone he could relate to and the rest is history. By the way, Tom paid $100,000 for the NFT beat from em. The name of the beat was called "Stan's Revenge". So the premise of Tom's video "Dear Slim" was Tom embodying Stan from the original Stan video.
New sub from Canada here! Tom did come from Canada but he has found his heart's home in the US for over 10 years now. This is the beginning of an incredible journey and I am here for it as will all of the #HOG. Let's go!!! #hog4ever
Love Tom and hope you continue listening to him and Nova. Also, if you haven’t heard Falling in Reverse you are missing out. Last Resort, Watch the World Burn etc. Dax, REN, NF, Upchurch are also great !! Have fun with your new channel❤
#HOG yeah this was his first actual hit, had to borrow electricity from the neighbors across the street with an extension cord to make it lol, yeah Em is a big inspiration for him, which the song "dear slim" he bought a beat from Eminem in an auction for $100,000
Lmao the opening line for "fake woke" is "they call me controversial but cardi b is the role model for 12 year old girls" took the words out his mouth and haven't even heard it lol
Tom has a wild back story. I apologize for this long post. Some of your comments reminded me so much of myself, I got comment diarrhea (gross symbolism, sorry). I only share this with you as I am impressed at how well you have your head screwed on right and I feel you will take to heart what is being said (I don’t share this info with just anybody). If any of my phrases seem weird, feel free to ask (I am a 65 year old Hispanic American - 2nd gen - and I sometimes use slang from when I was your age, a long, long time ago). ***Personal Opinion on Tom***: I think part of the anger Tom has towards the corporate music industry is due him buying into the message presented by rappers. He wound up depressed, messed up on alcohol and came close to suicide. He couldn’t pay his bills AND was evicted, living on the street until he went back and lived at his mom’s for 9 months, fully disconnected from the world, not even interacting with other humans. He finally made his way back and has nothing nice to say about the music industry labels or the message they push to the mainstream. He will not compromise and had no choice but to be truly independent. His music is also his therapy for the darkness of the depression and anxiety - that monster never goes away, I know because I’ve tried to kill the one lurking in my shadows. If you check out “Sober”, (th-cam.com/video/H5kt27itT4U/w-d-xo.html ), you will get Tom’s story. He is an open book and knows that keeping it 💯 helps keep the monster locked down. His spoken word joints are also good for backstory. As you react to more of Tom’s tracks, you will see why there are 3 groups of people that listen to Tom’s tracks: 1. The haters. Never gonna change and the #hangovergang will always just wave🖕🏽🖕🏿🖕🏼 2. The people that feel the same way he does and like his message and that he holds the industry accountable: See “Blame The Rappers” ft DAX (th-cam.com/video/30CDHuiRCrc/w-d-xo.html). Group 3 includes me and many others - keeping it real af: 3. We are people that have done battle with our own demons, such as alcohol, drugs, other addictions and depression. Many of us have even been close to suicide but we kept hanging on (th-cam.com/video/MDqKX_lgrQ0/w-d-xo.html). We still fight our demons but we refuse to give them power over us. While Tom’s music is therapy for him, it’s also a source of strength for us. The thing that gives us the greatest power over the darkness is knowing we are not alone. That is why we are part of the #hangovergang, we will never be alone, there is strength in numbers (th-cam.com/video/LuVPnW0s3Vo/w-d-xo.html). Lastly, some things I’ve learned after flipping the bird to Death 3 times: *: Life is full of absurdity. When non-critical shit happens (I.e. bought the wrong car part or the car part breaks), treat is as an absurdity and laugh your ass off at it. That takes all the power away from absurdities. Things like dyslexia are also absurdities (I have it bad but joke about it because, well you know, it’s ABSURD!). *: Life is a grand adventure. And, just like any roller coaster, there are scary parts and there are the thrills. All you have to remember is to Hold On Tight and enjoy the ride. Substances like alcohol and drugs don’t enhance the adventure, they will however, muddy the experience. *: You are not alone. No matter what struggles or challenges you may face, others have been there. There is no shame in the struggle, it’s what makes us stronger, like lifting weights. As we lift more, we get stronger but, there is a time when every weight lifter takes on a little more than they can safely handle and the ask someone to be a spotter, just in case. The only shame in life is when we are trying to “lift” more than we are able, to not seek help from a spotter. There are lots of people who are willing to serve as a “spotter” when asked. #hangovergang forever - for life 🤟🏽🤟🏼🤟🏿

Ohh, I see! Thank you for the clarification! It’s good to learn about Evan!
The lighting was a choice fed by circumstances. At this point Tom & Nova were completely broke and their electrity was turned off. They were running their fridge on an extension cord from a neighbor's house. He had to borrow the money to push this video on social media.
Tom bought the beat for Dear Slim on an NFT. He dropped a bundle on that beat.
Oh, I see! That’s kind of wild the way that worked out, then
Eminem is the reason Tom is a rapper. He used to listen to Pac, but once he found out about Eminem, he had someone he could relate to and the rest is history. By the way, Tom paid $100,000 for the NFT beat from em. The name of the beat was called "Stan's Revenge".
