103.7 Da Beat x MidwestMixtapes.Com Artist Spotlight - Tarcea Renee

Who is Tarcea Renee:
Tarcea Renee is a recording artist, producer, and engineer born and raised in St. Louis. I grew up on the North Side of St. Louis in Walnut Park. For the majority of my career, my music was heavily influenced by the streets and Hip-Hop artists I looked up to. By 2010, I was saved and took a short break from music to start learning more about God for myself. By 2011, I was back to it, but many people in the church felt like I was ''too urban'', and some in the hood thought I was too ''churchy'' for them to still rock with. I would say I''m more of a bridge between the streets and the church. I use music to bring real-life experiences and faith together.

What life was like growing up in St. Louis:

Growing up in Walnut Park and running through Pagedale as well, I was surrounded by both the raw realities of the streets and the deep-rooted culture of Hip-Hop and some of the realities we experienced living in impoverished communities with a lack of access to certain resources. The city was rough, but it shaped my resilience and creativity. Music was always a part of my world, whether it was hearing beats in the neighborhood or writing my own lyrics to help me process life as I seen it. St. Louis is a place where you have to learn how to be strong, and that''s reflected in the way I move in the industry today.

The spark that made me want to make music/records:

While growing up, I listened to so much music everywhere I went! Whether I was home, away from home, with my parents or by myself, I stayed listening to artists like 2Pac, Biggie, Three 6 Mafia, and Lil'' Wayne. Eventually, I started to write my own lyrics because I just felt like I could do it myself as a hobby. The hobby had grown into a passion so much that I began to produce beats for myself on FL Studio 5. With me naturally not being much of a talker, it was the best way for me to express what I seen and felt growing up. Hip-hop in the ''90s and early 2000s had a major influence on me, and I wanted to tell my own story through music.

Explain your style and sound:

My sound is a blend of street energy and spiritual depth-Midwest Hip-Hop with an authentic message. It''s real and rooted in truth. Think of a mix between gritty storytelling and uplifting inspiration. Sonically, I love heavy 808s and beats that hit hard while still allowing room for lyrics.

About my single, inspiration, and who produced it:

The Gift 2.0 is all about real freedom-the kind that doesn''t come from trying to act perfect as someone who believes in God but from knowing that only God can be perfect and that Jesus paid for our freedom on the cross. So we don''t have to work or depend on ourselves to prove ourselves to God or try to make ourselves seem good enough for God. If we believe in God, we can rest in knowing that God didn''t give up on us, we can truly live in the fact that our sins are forgiven and now we can move different, live free, and walk in that truth every day. The Producer name is Til December.  --My favorite cartoon growing up:
Rocket Power was definitely my favorite cartoon growing up. I loved how they had a tight crew that always supported each other-I never really thought about it but that''s kind of how I moved as a teenager and now as an adult. --

Outside of music, what do I do for fun:

When I''m not working on music, I''m usually spending time with family for fun and there''s a certain joy I get from helping other artists grow as well.

--Any mixtape or EP/album coming soon?

Definitely! I''m working on a collection of songs that I really can''t speak on at the moment but I will post about it as soon as we start moving the songs publicly.
