THE REVIEW AND INTERVIEW WITH TRUEZ
By: C. Harrison/January 29, 2016/5/5:03am
Immediately the CD “Raw & Underprevileged,” by the rap group Truez, became a favorite; its old school flavor and more importantly, the style of how the Rappers were rapping. The Rappers use easily catch-on tunes where one could rap-along and it collimates cutting edge lyrics which speaks directly to this generation of youngsters. The team uses powerful nostalgic jargons to draw on solvency and innovations which lends itself to intricate stations of young lives.
In addition, Truez’s lyrical words are nail bitters, while speaking truths, use a twist reverting back to first generation raps; grapping an-across the board audience. Remember when you were growing up and your parents told you wise old tales that you did not necessarily believe but got older and realize that they were telling the truth that kind of twist.
The riveting CD, is quite an impressive masterpiece that dropped October 20th, 2015. It is edgy, raw and wise. I am a major music lover and is reiterating that this album has everything. I could not stop myself from listening and comparing these four unbridled rappers, sprouting words straight out of the old-school era that fit right into todays metaphor. I truly began wondering if any of their Parents, were musicians or rappers from the 80s or even 90s; because they’re polished, poised and knows just how much unleashing to exercise.
The CD, is also a conscious thought seeker that will become a hit classic. If it is marketed properly, will be talked about in history. There Art work is highly conspicuous and these guys will be coming at you with more fire; which, one could see brimming at the surface when I interviewed them last summer, in Harlem.
According to Truez, whose real name is spelled the same as the album, found is calling at the tender age of thirteen & half, he is now 24 years old. Truez revealed that he became serious about hip-hop in 2009, but before this, it was his debut project that led the way, the 1991 A.R.T. (American Rebel Tales). These early days foundations lyrics featured the powerful and intricate track “Pharoah Skin (Only Black In The Room);” this was followed by the establishments of two videos “The Growth Record” and “Heaven Knows.” Truez, explained himself noting that he can not sing R&B, so he uses raps to express himself and to convey messages.
“I know rap was working for me when I heard people talking about me to others who let me know what’s going on,” stated Truez. In addition, the story-teller conceded that Raw- is his delivery and Underprivileged is what he did not have as far as being African American. “I did not want to go super lyrical, I wanted to deliver the truth, right at you and intense,” articulated Truez.
Moreover, He pointed out that 6 to 7 months ago, he was relaxing himself to other people and started tapping into his life. He said that he would write on notebooks, pencil-in things and burned notes into his head; thus he ended up writing alot of lyrics. He said for 7 months thereafter, he recorded two CDs and had to figure out what goes with what and the world told him to go with this latest album, “Raw & Underprivileged.” “G.T. in Atlanta inspires, I also watch a lot of movies and the blog videos are by B-Eye Ajanna, she did the blogs for Underprivileged,” the Rapper confided.
When confronted with the fact that he and his team are very good Rappers! the contumacious Rapper, who had great decorum and is very much nonchalant where this fact is concerned, explained lavishly that its really rapping from the heart. “Others rap from other people’s things but we rap from another path; old school emotions mix with the times now,” he contends. The Rapper further disclosed that all they can do is navigate; just stay tight. ” We are making it by staying tight.” 
Additionally, what Truez and his team want from this album, is opportunity. They also want to push other marketing ideas including giving fans CDs and shake hands with them, make conversations, start something with them. “We have done plenty of shows in Atlanta and Long Island. We are looking forward to a Taxes show in January and an Element show in Augusta Georgia. I want one award and I’ll be cool,” proclaimed the astute Rapper.
What’s next for Truez, “New Trap City,” a full length project the crew hopes to drop together. The educator, described his team this way, “72s wins me and Cool, Erin and Journey….all the names to my CDs are mental. Journey–he’s the center, Cool–do everything well balance (The strategist), like a three pointer, and Erin–is like the office. Creating under the 72-umbrella, is the best team,” said the humble Rapper.
“I want to be on tour, I want a lot of songs and I want my songs to be known. I want to be in front of a crowd and for the crowd to know my music; I love New York A.R.T. (American Rebel Tales), was the first official project which everything I dropped is under, this timeline goes back to the essence.” “My Mom, narrated it and she doesn’t know this is in effect R91.” “My prophecy is to do tight and live mega-hype,” finish the Virtuoso.
The group is currently teamed up with DJ Kay Slay, who have thus far produced videos, “Super Villian,” “Live It Up,” “No Motives,” and the much talked about successful project Teue3nough which generated, “Peeping Tom” “The Zone” Ga 2 NY” and “Easy On The Weed.” 2014- saw the group’s second project Damn My Lifetime, featuring the rapid fire rap “Sarcasm.”
