Welcome to the W Blog page Hello Everyone, my name is Tafao Amataga, I am a freshman here at SUU and am part of the SUU football team. My all time favorite artist would be the great Tupac Amaru Shakur AKA 2pac. I don't have one single favorite genre, so all of my favorite genres to listen to would be old/new school hip-hop, old/new school R&B, afropop, reggae, and a little bit of country. Really any song from any genre that catches my ear I will listen to.
