Jaylon Carter (Timid) has moved through many of Hip Hop’s
elements, from dancing with a local group in Honolulu, Hawaii, to DJing various
events around the islands, to production, and to emceeing, where he has been
pumping out tracks from his current location New York City, the birthplace of
Hip Hop.
Timid’s been moving music since he and a
partner put together a 3-track demo. Timid made a move to Tallahassee, Florida
where he continued both producing and emceeing, with one of his songs “My Soul”
being a catalyst for appearances on a 10-cd compilation of Hip Hop Bass music
entitled “Drive By Bass” released by Canadian company,
Blast Media produced by Mega Ace Multimedia
(which brought the world the late ninety’s hit “My Boo” by Ghost Town DJ’s from
the So So Def All Stars compilation).
Timid has experience in other aspects of the
industry as well. He previously held a full-fledged position
as writer /
reviewer / interviewer / designer for the e-zine Altrap.com. He has also written
reviews and
filled the role as interviewer for Canada based e-zine
MVRemix.com and has been published in the
industry magazine “The
Connex List” published by the Wonder Twinz and distributed worldwide by
Fat Beats. Timid now heads the online e-zine OneTwoOneTwo.com.
Timid has received an immensely positive
reception on several of the major Hip Hop websites, featured on numerous
mixtapes worldwide and has received radio play in Florida, Africa, Canada, and
Japan. As well as stage stops from New York to Tokyo and

distributed by legendary Hip Hop label Rawkus Records and
Japan’s Handcuts Records, Timid is not one to
sleep on.
“...the underground is still dropping science like
it was 1989. Lately, it has been the inaptly named Timid who has defended the
gates against stupid blingers and bangers.” -Wired
Timid is an emcee’s emcee, with intelligent,
thought-provoking lyrics dropped over tight production
carrying influences
from jazz, to soul and funk, to classical orchestra.
