Source-derived summary

Little-T and One Track Mike (sometimes stylized as Little T & One Track Mike) was an American hip-hop and alternative rock band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. Founded in 1999 while its members attended Rutgers University, the band included vocalist and lyricist Timothy "Little-T" Sullivan, producer and sound designer Michael "One Track Mike" Flannery, drummer Justin "J-Ride" Riddle, bass guitarist Jesse "Savior" Saul, and guitarist, and keyboardist and backing vocalist Daniel "Shank Bone Mystic" Saks.

History

Timothy Sullivan was given the nickname "Little T" as a child by his older brother. While attending Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey in 1998, Sullivan introduced himself to dorm mate Michael Flannery, "the lanky kid on the next floor with the computer and four-track", looking for someone to help him launch a career in hip hop. Prior to the release of their debut album, the group performed at the last four stops of the Vans Warped Tour in August 2001. The band's first single "Shaniqua" found moderate success on MTV.

Subsequently, frontman Tim Sullivan performed in a "bad ass rock-and-roll" group named Homeschool and an "acoustic twangcore" project named Mudfite with guitarist Keith Thedinga before going solo and signing with ANTI- Records under the stage name Tim Fite.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “american hip-hop group” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6648818. VIAF identifies the subject as 149222844. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1999, 1998, 2001 and 2007.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
