Zakaariyah aka T.H.E
(Tru Hip Hop Entity)
Artist/Radio Host
Most people know him as T.H.E (Tru Hip Hop Entity), co-host of the worldwide IIourShow. As an artist he is Zakaariyah. Zakaariyah has been rhyming for years now. In 2002 after his release from prison, he took on an internship at WMMR. Zakaariyah later took an opportunity at 88.1 FM in his home town of West Philly, where he began the IIourShow and sat on the board of directors.
In 2005 he bumped into godHead The General at The Gathering (Philly's longest running hip hop event) where his cousin, producer Nile Hardin is a host. Zakaariyah and godHead met in the prison yard in upstate P.A where emcees used to cipher and build. In 2006, Zakaariyah found the ThorTakeOver ciphers popping off at Medusa Lounge in Philly, hosted by godHead The General. After frequenting the event many times, Zakaariyah asked godHead The General to become a co-host of the IIourShow, which eventually became a part of ThorTakeOver. You will begin to hear Zakaariyah the emcee very soon, especially on godHead The General's Introducing..The Mixtape on songs like "Get A Switch" produced by DJ Pham, and "Muppetism" produced by The Other Guys. Zakaaryih is also featured on "The Underground" song and video from the Rebel Coalition Mixtape.
