03.07 - The San Diego CityBeat just reviewed my Future History EP. Check it out: ‎"I’m not exactly a fan of inspirational rave-rap, but this EP from Timz, an MC of Iraqi descent, is full of surprises. The infectious synth hook of “Die for Never” had me pumping my fist, the “Give Peace a Chance” sampling on “Do Something” is actually pretty badass, and I get the impression that the chilling stories in “Refugee” are very real. I actually feel pretty inspired by this one."
