Parsons was born and raised in Lucasville, Nova Scotia. Tyrone has had an active rap career under the name Knuckle Head since 1993, beginning with an association with Atlantic rap troupe DJ Ruckus and Mad Craz. This association landed him a record contract under which he collaboratively released two albums and conducted three tours with other rappers. In the show, T is sometimes referred to as T-Knuckles, a subtle nod to Parsons' real life rap persona. * Tyrone Parsons on Facebook
