"The Authentic" represents a lost voice of hip hop... "The Authentic" provides the kind of music that depicts reality, a strong message from a focused mindset and truly holds the key to the next level of hip-hop…

In a day and time where artist more and more sound like the next it is rare to come across an artist with the combination of originality, passion, and lyrics filled with reality... "The Authentic" is nothing less than a veteran when it comes to experience when it comes to all of those attributes. With a proven track record in the underground hip-hop world, Tango is making a major impact in today’s music industry. Coming straight out of  Jersey and stationed in the nation's murder capitol Philly, "The Authentic" represents the balance of the streets reality, followed by a sharp confident flow, and a one of a kind gangsta and gentleman charisma with such a resume and broad range of topics that catches ears on all levels. With the balance of being street and book educated it’s hard for his music to not reach the masses...
