I'm a senior majoring in Journalism and Media Studies. I've taken alot of ethics classes, so I tend to add ethics as a fake major to my repertoire.

Born and raised in Chicago (inner city youth, not a suburb turd!). I'm a pretty mellow fellow. Proud hip hop geek. I love producing hip hop music, talking hip hop, living hip hop, etc. As Sev Seveer (my other alias), I have produced for many emcees in the Champaign area, as well as Chicago. I've been musically inclined for over 10 years (holla at me if you play trombone!)

I look forward to a good, long argument (about anything), and I enjoy skateboarding, writing, and wasting time & money doing cool things. I hate cats, butter, and T.V.

More About Trouble T-Roy

What would I do with $100,000,000?

I would buy a nice loft along with a large quantity of musical equipment.

What is one thing that completely irks me?

Facebook activists, trend setter egos, and white shirts

What is the craziest thing I have ever done?

When I was 8 years old I definitely ran Julia Roberts over with my bike as she was filming My Best Friends Wedding (which was filmed in Chicago not far from my house). She blindsided me as she was coming out of a restaurant called Streganona. The rest is history.
