Timothy Wynne Wallace (born: 1991 [age 31]), better known online as T-Dub, is a rapper from Alpena, Michigan. He is famous for the infamous Mario rap known as, “Mario Be Playin'.”

For context, in October of 2008, a guy by the name of Adam Strohschein was informed to see the evening showing of his high schools' talent show since “there was a guy that ‘rapped and danced,’” so he brought his camera and filmed it. He would later upload T-Dub’s rap song to his old channel, “adamspeople13.”

Later on in 2009, he uploaded a Napoleon Dynamite remix version, and around this time he heard that T-Dub was selling copies of his album he called; “In The Club” at the local 7-Eleven (now closed), so Adam got one for $2 and decided to put one song to a video, which would be “Mario be playin' T-Dub.”

Two versions of the music video were uploaded, one with subtitles, the other without. The first few years it didn’t really take off, and less and less was heard about T-Dub.

However, around the late 2010s, the channel blew up, with their most viewed video, (the music video with subtitles), gaining over 2.1 million views.

Unfortunately, by this point Adam had forgotten about the original account’s information and lost his “In The Club” CD.

Thankfully, a friend of his still had a copy, and he decided to start a new channel, “Admiral Dadam,” completely dedicated to T-Dub, including a new music video. However, none of it became as famous as “Mario Be Playin'.”

As for T-Dub himself, not much is known. He has basically no social media footprint, with only a few social media pages under his real name with no posts. Although, there does exist a Facebook fan profile that features numerous photos of T-Dub himself, including his graduation, so it was presumably made by a friend around that time. He still lives in Alpena, and allegedly was at one point going to change his rap name to “Trimba Tree.”
