In 2006, there was a small studio my father built inside the old conference room of the church. It wasn’t glamorous by any means - just carpet, cables, and basic gear. It became the birthplace of a new chapter in the Nureau timeline. A particular artist and I met there at least twice a week, chasing ideas, healing through sound, and shaping what would become the official launch of the movement's infamous producer.

Food was part of our ritual.

Before getting to designs, we would hit the local taco shop for rolled tacos. As natives, those late morning food runs felt like an extension of our art, taking in the neighborhood vibes before locking in at the studio. On those drives, hooks were formed, concepts sharpened, and the visual storytelling took shape.

The first single, Banganyn, set the tone. We created a full kit featuring an SD snapback and custom graffiti stencil. That design became the foundation for the T.Bizzy brand, mysterious yet bold. It captured the transition from his earlier alias T.Boy into the fully realized producer-rapper artist identity. His evolution came after a heavy stretch as he'd already pushed boundaries on previous works like PTN, O2, and Out The Box, while navigating label conflicts and controversy around his self expression.

By 2008, the hiatus was real. The weight of Nureau's absence from the Gospel mainstream was real. Reinvention wasn’t a luxury at this point. It was necessary. T.Bizzy: The Album debuted on Apple's iTunes in February that year, with a vinyl release of Banganyn for the deejays. This was a space where the artist would reclaim himself as an indie powerhouse, with the second single, "Tortilla Chips Featuring Kimmé", starting a wave of viral dance videos on YouTube.

It was from that studio that we crafted the aesthetic for a persona that was sharp, clever, and unfiltered. Those late nights, cheap meals, and bold ideas still echo as one of the most honest, creative seasons in my journey within The Futureverse worldline.
