After hundreds of recording sessions, he decided to take his shot at being an emcee. He splits his time between working in the studio and competing on the basketball court. Tytist played Division I basketball for Liberty University and went on to win 3 NCAA Conference Titles and has been to 3 NCAA March Madness Tournaments.

With multiple albums, Sis N Lil Bro is a unique group that’s able to connect with today’s culture and generation. The group is a trifecta of talent, as both artists can carry full concerts as individuals, and as a duo. They both enjoy public speaking as well. Most impressive aside from their bangin’ beats, electrifying performances and catchy lyrics, is their ability to connect with youth of all cultures beyond the music on a personal level through their “Sis N Lil Broments Podcast.”
