We are finally back‼️ Touré Masters hasn’t stopped working. Since his masterpiece “Kin9” hit the streets, he has been on a crazy creative run. It’s wild to think that “April 23rd”, “White Sox Fitted”, “RéRé”, “Sharks”, and now “Inspired By Myles J Connor” all followed the 2022 release of “Kin9”. High level raps, impactful stories, and meaningful messages delivered consistently over a two year span.
Conceptual Art has always been present in the Touré Masters music catalog. This creative arrangement goes all the way back to his early work, such as the song “Trespassing,” which depicts a street skater’s struggle with restricted skating areas. “Inspired by Myles Connor” is deeply influenced by the art world, particularly the story of the famous art thief Myles J. Conner.
“Inspired by Myles Connor” is an art based project literally inspired by world famous art thief Myles J Conner.
“I found myself watching a documentary titled ‘This is a Robbery.’ It delved into a massive unsolved art heist in Boston. During the film, The legend of Myles J Connor was covered. I listened to the accounts of others and heard Conner speak for himself, and I was flooded with inspiration. From there the raps came.” – Touré Masters
Touré Masters is showing no signs of slowing down or falling off. This new project hits listeners from a new angle. Through unmatched skill, he informs his audience about art history, provides deep insight into the process of creating, while still managing to tell his authentic story. “Inspired By Myles J. Connor” is a special body of work featuring a guest appearance from Mega Ran!

Touré Masters delivers a new E.P titled “Kin9”. As repetitive as it may sound Masters just keeps on getting better. Kin9 carries heavy displays of next level story telling, next level word play, next level raps, just next level all around art.
“The 9 I used to spell King represents my neighborhood. I feel it is important to never forget where you are from. We are all products of our surroundings and experiences. I named the E.P King for a million reasons. I just truly feel Ive fought long enough and hard enough to deserve the respect I demand.”
Proving past success hasn’t been a fluke, the creative duo of Rocky White & Touré Masters strike again. The way both of their gifts merge is truly special. Pre – Order Kin9 now! Exclusive Bandcamp release is set for April 2nd!
Touré Masters releases visuals to his record “Injuries” featuring None other than Mega Ran and rising vocalist Emerald Indica. Injuries is a song off of Touré’s project “Winning Wars Everyday” which is special in so many ways.
“I just want people to be less scared of bad things happening. You have to understand that dreams do not come easy. Sometimes people take pain or depression as signs to quit, and thats not it. You have to work through it, you should want to work through it. I say that because as cliche as it is, what does not kill you does make you stronger. It truly does.” Said Touré Masters
Produced by Rocky White, Injuries has connected with people of all sorts that can relate to the idea of working through pain. Former athletes, college students, Business owners and so much more go through a lot trying to reach their goals. No matter if its a physical matter or mental issue people fight through these things daily, and thats why this song is special.
“ I myself have battled with creating through depression. Ive ever had to perform hurt a number of times. I just refuse to be stopped by anything because my end goals or absolutely worth it. I wont quit. Still keep in mind that just because someone is getting through, doesn’t mean to they aren’t hurting. The pain is real and its always there.” Said Touré Masters
Released in 2018 on Touré Masters’s E.P “Granny’s Prayers” , Good Hair instantly began to leave a special mark on everyone it reached. This record is a beautiful and extremely powerful message to the world.
“The disadvantages, and obstacles black women face daily cause them a lot of damage. I was raised by them all my life and under that circumstance you see a lot.” Said Touré Masters.
Inspired by the Chris Rock documentary also entitled “Good Hair” Touré felt the responsibility to help spread the message more.
“The documentary just hit home for me. Its a way to help. Artist are super hero’s and thats what hero’s do.” Said Touré
As of recent, the song fell into the hands of cultures outside of the black community and caught quite the wave. This is why Masters felt the need to create and release the proper visuals for the record to further push its intended message.
Its not surprising to us that Touré delivered this message and wrote the entire sing himself, but what many don’t know is that he also made the beat. Please take some time to go watch the visuals for “Good Hair” and share it with all of your friends.
Arizona Rap Artist Touré Masters created an 8 track E.P titled Winning Wars Everyday. A project built off the concept of Black people overcoming daily obstacles and exceeding. All beats used for the E.P were created from scratch by Philadelphia / Germany based producer Rocky White & Touré Masters. Each record is based off of a Black Wrestler who metaphorically represents the overall message of the E.P. Wwe is the biggest wrestling company there is, but is also the acronym for Winning Wars Everyday. Coincidence?
Following to the release of a few visuals ( Rock Bottom, Street Profit and Your World ) the E.P began to gain momentum. As it began doing numbers on twitter, It reached a few WWE officials which lead it to actual WWE Superstars! Your World was retweeted and mentioned by WWE Diva Naomi & Street Profit caught the attention of WWE Superstar Montez Ford.
With Winning Wars Everyday slowly taking off in the WWE community, Touré Masters was invited out to Wrestlemania in Tampa Bay Florida by none other than Rap Artist Mega Ran.
Mega Ran who is featured on Winning Wars Everyday felt Touré Masters and his new E.P would do wonders at Wrestlemania. The project was played at independent wrestling events. Hard copies were also sold to fans.
While in Tampa Touré was able to meet the WWE Officials and Superstars that had come across his project. The connections then lead him to meeting and building relationships with WWE employees as well.
Touré then met and sat ring side at his 1st Wrestlemania with his favorite Artist Wale, Dj Money, Kaz, & Mega Ran! After the event they all linked up with more WWE Superstars and Employees. Also in the mix were Rappers, Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, and Smoke Dza.
Later in the Year Touré Masters was invited out to another WWE event. This time it was to Vegas for Summerslam! At Summer slam Touré reconnected with everyone he met at Wrestlemania, even found hisself at a WWE invite only party and was the only Rap Artist there. At this Party Montez Ford told Touré to keep his eyes on his Dms.
Here we are months later and there is a Montez Ford and Touré Masters collaboration scheduled to drop 2022
Toure Also is looking to land features with many others he connected with through the WWE including Smoke Dza, and Swerve,
Through out the year Touré has performed and spoken at multiple events. Some events of his own, some ran by the NAACP. Touré performed at 3 Juneteenth events on the same day, Took part in another HBCU College fair (he has been doing so since 2011), and opened up for West Side Boogie where many say Masters stole the show. Touré Masters also took stage with Yung Face ( they are cousins ) while opening for Lil Boosie and again while opening for Mozzy. Arizona Artist Futuristic added Touré to his “For The Homies” show case, where Touré put on a show. Now the two are holding a New Years Even Show to end 2021 and start off 2022.
Winning Wars everyday has also captured 2 of the 3 victories Touré has taken home from the Money Mouth Show Best Song contest. Touré has been nominated for AZMT Lyricist of the year and landed on 2tone the Superstars Arizona Hip Hop Power Rankings for November
Safe to say with WWE Touré Masters has leveled up and sky rocketed passed expectations. This year of Winning Wars Everyday has been one for the books
Touré Masters is set to release his next E.P “Winning Wars Everyday” on the 1st of February and we are ready! On this E.P Masters takes the WWE Universe and uses it metaphorically to symbolize the success of Black People in a world of struggles and obstacles.
“It just made the most sense. If you look into it and really do research, you can see the difference in opportunities between black wrestlers and others. I look to the real world and see the same thing. The beauty of it all is that we still prosper. Against all odds we still shine. I feel that energy of overcoming is stronger than its ever been right now.”
The vision of this project is deep, important, and necessary. At the same time it is fun, creative, and very impressive. All 8 songs are full of clever “Wrestle Bars” written and delivered by this passionate rapper, who we’ve seen grown for years now.
Winning Wars Everyday covers common battles one faces as a black person from the streets in America. The way it is composed allows you to take in the heavy messages yet still enjoy an amazing Rap experience.
Touré Masters teamed up with PA producer Rocky White who is now located in Stuttgart, Germany. Together they curated the sound and direction of “Winning Wars Everyday”.
Pleas look to support this project and the special artist behind it. Winning Wars Everyday 2/1/21
During this World Wide Pandemic, as you may know, concerts along with other events that require large groups of people have been canceled. The amount of Corona Virus cases has grown, and the world has no idea when things will get back to normal.
Performing is major way for Artist to not only make money, but to share their art in a rare, special way. In the mist of everything going on Partake Presents has become the platform for Arizona Artist to still do just that. Ranging from Qiayz, Dela Preme and Murkemz with many more Artist who have performed already, we are excited to see this form of Art being kept alive.
Touré Masters took on the Platform and delivered an amazing soulful, challenging, passionate, creative, and impressive performance. Here is what he had to say about performing as an Artist.
“Personally performing is extremely important to an artist and their fans. Benefits like helping me find balance mentally, to truly making me feel the growth in myself and my work. It is a place I challenge myself, and show off. Wether Im showing energy, or just my insane pen game or, just showing off an outfit. Performing is a huge part of being an artist and I love it.”
Touré Masters gives us “Community Restoration In Progress”. A small project with an enormous purpose! It is not a surprise in anyway that Touré is delivering a list of powerful messages through his music. This E.P is overflowing with passion, love, and knowledge!
“I feel like eyes everywhere can see what is going on here. Black people have been applying major pressure. We are seeing each other different and we are seeing this country for what it is. Things feel different, they feel better. Our community, our culture is being restored.
The existence of gangs and gang activity has always been brought up in Touré Masters music. “Community Restoration In Progress” is actually the definition of Crip.
“Its a life style that I really had no way of avoiding. I believe we all have choices and I stand by ones Ive made only because I cant change them. My father is a real gang member with such a high ranking that his reputation was really known everywhere in my city. Growing up in it Ive seen both sides of the life style and I know the dark things that happen but I promise there is beauty in it. Just look at what it means, Community Restoration In Progress.”
Touré Masters informed us that the plan was to release the E.P on August 14th. August 14th is the date of Raymond Washington’s Birthday. Raymond is the founder of the Crips Gang along with Stanley Tookie Williams.

Touré Masters new E.P Community Restoration In Progress is out now on all streaming Platforms.
Of course we all know how amazing Touré Masters is with his own raps and sharing his perspective. This time around Masters gives us something new! Disconnection is a new record Touré released with up and coming LA Artist Adielle. Although her vocals are amazing Touré is the man behind the pen! Displaying not only writing skills but he is also the man behind the beat!
“Its been a gift I’ve always wanted to share with everyone. The time just had to be right, the artist had to be more right and the song had to be great! Adielle is a beautiful talented artist and I really appreciate her giving me the creative control over this record.” Touré Masters
Disconnection is a song on a shaky relationship in need of an understanding.
“I honestly surprised myself writing this record. I tell stories all the time from all kinds of different perspective. Having someone else tell the story just gives it so much more life. I definitely plan to grow more as a writer and get the R&B side of me out there through more amazing vocalist” – Touré Masters
Disconnection is out on Band Camp & Sound Cloud right now!
Arizona artist Touré Masters pulls another creative conception out his bag, and gives us “Bruce Lethal”. We’ve seen this before with his King of The Hill rendition (King of The Chill), and Sagat based version of himself, but this time he says its different.
“Bruce Lethal, is a perception I created for me.” says Touré. ” Since a youngster Ive believed that it is my responsibility to be strong for those I keep close, and for those who look to me for help. I have such a reach amongst friends, family, and fans, that it gets to where it uses a majority of my energy. So much that I had once questioned, “If I am doing all this for everyone else, who will do it for me.” I could feel how dangerous and dark that mind set at that very moment felt, and then it hit me. I began thinking of all these things I would want some one to say to me, and figured I can just say them to myself.
Throughout his career, in almost every project, Masters touches on self conflict, depression, and a fight to be happy. Bruce Lethal is symbolic for Touré’s self love, and ways to keep him motivated.
“After really focusing and learning how to turn to myself for that necessary push when life gets heavy, it began to pay off. Success within yourself is such an amazing feeling and it really made me think. It made me think about myself. I thought of how strong and amazing I really am, and how even stronger someone (even though that someone is me) would have to be in order to be strong for me. So I decided to characterize that person within me an came up with “Bruce Lethal”. Now that “Bruce Lethal” is actually a thing or a person I should say, Ive somewhat altered my focus from being strong for others, to helping them find their own Bruce Lethal within.
Touré Masters has announced that Bruce Lethal will be his next E.P and has also released Bruce Lethal hoodies to push the idea and project! Please keep an eye out and continue to support Touré Masters.
