When you listen to a song, it not only reflects a story, but the artist as well. In music, you aren’t just the storyteller, but you are also the main character. This is particularly true when it comes to the hip-hop artist known as Truth. Growing up in the mid-90’s music scene, which consisted of mostly Hip-Hop & Rock, rappers like Diddy, Biggie, Dr. Dre & Tupac caught his attention. He began to freestyle and write tracks for fun. As time went on he began to write serious tracks, some rap, some rock. In December of 2005, he found himself singing lead vocals in a rock band called Misplaced Hopes. It was in March of 2006, that he left the band and made his way into the hip-hop scene as Legacy. About a month later he found himself being recruited for a rap group. He was far more serious than the other members and soon left to go solo as he felt it would be in his best interest to make music on his own terms. He started production of a four-track demo cd that would be given out at his first live performance on July 4th of 2006, where he performed for a small crowd. Once he experienced the rush of performing live, he knew he wanted to take his music to the next level. He began to work hard for the next few months, elevating his flow & lyrics along the way. In December he started recording at a professional studio & working on his debut mixtape, Make Music Not War. Truth, now 21 years old is excited for a new year. Truth says “With 2007 here, I feel that its time to take my music to a new high, I have evolved a lot as an artist and I am ready to unleash the Truth on you all. Although Nas has been one of my influences, I strongly disagree that Hip-Hop is dead. Hip-Hop is alive and well. My mixtape, Make Music Not War will definitely prove that. Although I feel I accomplished a lot in 2006, it was my year to practice, perfect and work hard at my music career. That’s what Legacy & 2006 was all about. I really feel that I am approaching my prime & I step up my game in every song I put forth and will continue to do so. 2007 brings you the Truth. What do I mean by this? What or who is the Truth? Only time well tell.” With the new year here, there is no telling what Truth has up his sleeve, one thing is for sure, with his new flow style, hard lyrics and cunning attitude, he is one rapper to watch out for...
