Flava Fanatics represent real hip hop, combining their own life experiences while honoring the art of lyricism. Flava Fanatics' T-Biz and Dre Solomon have crafted a style all their own – mixing street credibility with soulful melodies and production into what they call "Streethop".  It all started in 2000, when T-Biz and Dre Solomon met through mutual friends while they were attending Tennessee State University in Nashville, TN. Shortly after, they moved in with four future members of their crew, Heirborne (HB) – which they devoted four years to musically and still rep today. From HB, Dre Solomon and T-Biz went on to form Flava Fanatics.

Originally from Chicago, 25 year old T-Biz first got involved in the music business while attending TSU, where he hosted multiple radio shows and began focusing on special events planning.  Soon, he was hosting his own radio show on Nashville's own Blazin' 106.7 FM (WNPL). From there, T-Biz began working for the largest radio station in the region – 101.1 FM – The Beat Jamz (WUBT) - where he is currently their Promotions Director.

Dre Solomon, 23, splits his upbringing between Bowling Green, KY and Stamford, CT. Growing up, Dre quickly learned the ways and realities of the streets. Fortunately, Dre was able to take with him many skills – including how to reach and connect with others in the same situation. Inspired by reading the Willie Lynch letter, Dre took it upon himself to become a positive force in the hood – utilizing his own potential for the good of his people.

In 2004, Flava Fanatics signed with production team and record label Somatic Sound and Entertainment, and began working on their professional debut, "Streethop: The Recipe" -- to be released on Somatic Sound Records November 2005.
