A freestyle master who started rhyming in 1988, TOPR burst onto the San Francisco scene in 1993 as Top Ramen. Quickly gaining
notoriety in battle circles, he consistently embarrassed the competition with his quick-witted lyrics and scathing delivery.
TOPR joined the the Hip Hop collective Earthlings in 1996 alongside
local favorites Safahri, Boac and D.J. Bootleg, he helped build the
crew's reputation as dynamic live performers opening up for such hip hop legends as KRS ONE, LL Cool J, De La Soul, Kool Keith, Goodie
Mob, Mix Master Mike, Z-Trip and many others.
The Earthlings also toured as an opening act on national tours with
Living Legends, Hieroglyphics and Xecutioners as well as
participating in many large hip hop festivals such as the Broke Ass Summer Jam, I.T.F., Lyricist Lounge and headlining their own F*ck Pop
Convention.
TOPR proved his freestyle abilities time and time again, opening up
unassisted for Latryx, Rakim, Organized Konfusion, Eminem, Raekwon,
Ghostface Killah, Pharaoh Monch, Xzibit, The Liks, GFE, Awol One, Glue etc.
He also co-founded San Francisco's world renowned Freestyle Olympics, which
has given birth to some of the most respected freestyle battle rappers in
the country today.
Other credits include: performing on the 2004 Vans Warped tour with
Atmosphere and Non Phixion, appearing on the soundtrack (and on
screen) in the local film Quality Of Life as well as the Bay Area
graffiti documentary Piece By Piece. (PXP Director Nic Hill created
the video for Top R's 'Security Security'.)
Past releases include Donut Hustlers w/ DJ NonPhenom, Burning the
Candle at Both Ends, Legalize Murder; and Cheap Laughs for Dead
Comedians. He is currently dropping his 5th solo release The Marathon of Shame.
"Each (TOPR) track is a anthem of hedonistic individualism, a
contradictory self-affirmation of pride and despair, intense
motivation and ultimate fatalism, all driven by a serious bent to
rap, write (graffiti and get on gurp). TOPR is a reminder of what bay area
indie rap can and should be."
