AUHistory in the making 🎙️
T-Mite is dropping what we believe is the first known recorded song out of Santa Barbara County Jail, stamped in 2008 by Lompoc’s own.
There’s been talk about a Lompoc rapper named Stixxx doing it first, but we haven’t been able to locate the track. If you have it, let us know.
Recording from behind bars isn’t new, legends paved the way. From Lead Belly recording songs while incarcerated in the early 1900s, to Jah Cure turning prison recordings into international hits, all the way to Mac Dre bringing that raw energy into hip-hop. This is part of a long tradition of turning confinement into creativity.
This isn’t just a song, it’s history, resilience, and proof that music finds a way no matter the circumstances.
