Prominent in the lyrics of his groundbreaking "Triumphant K-12," Tahir Jahi proclaims, “Now, my life I define.” And, in so doing, lays out his heart, passion hard-earned self-knowledge to be witnessed as one might do with a trusted friend. Tahir is a deeply talented Hip-Hop artist who began rhyming at the age of twelve in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when he started the group Visions from the 3rd Eye. This affiliation resulted in his first release, “Visions from the Third Eye.”

Tahir is a writer/producer/director/artist who lives, breathes and flourishes within the universe of his musical poetry. He is cool and collected, socially conscious, intelligent and unafraid to speak out about societal issues – even using comedy to add the right amount of perspective. His Conscious Material t-shirt line features the slogan “Got Melanin” which not only delivers a spot-on social commentary, but has enough sly humor to indicate Tahir is high on life.
