In 2010, after he graduated from college he got the time to focus on his musical carrier and released his debut album “Classic” in mid-2011. Jeefs described the album as being rather an EP or a mix-tape than a full studio album, as there was no clear concept behind it in the making process, but it’s more of a compilation of the songs that were recorded in 2011. Also in 2011 he worked together with Godfrey Egbon and temporarily formed a duo called “Rapcase” which released 3 songs, a part of one of them is featured on “Classic” as a bonus track.
Tom Jeefs’ interest in physics and science in general can often be heard in his lyrics, whereas he describes his style as versatile and cross-breeds his music with other genres from time to time. Already considered a top lyricist in the underground movement he stated “Hip-Hop is not dead, it just lives underground. I do my best to keep it alive at those places it really belongs to. In my opinion it’s too late for real Hip-Hop as a popular genre, I still give it all I got.” Tom Jeefs second studio album “HiDef” was released September 1st.
