In a culture where sex, drugs, politics, violence and money dominate the music industry, T.R.U.B. brings the TRUTH in an incredible sound based on what’s hot without conforming to unenthusiastic Hip-Hop trends. “I produce REAL music conveys an image of hope, pride, and fun with an emphasis on hard work and effort that leads to overcoming life’s challenges,” says T.R.U.B.
This Memphis, TN based rapper is not your average Hip Hop artist. Born Lawrence Johnson in Alexandria, VA, T.R.U.B. grew up in Memphis, where his passion for Hip-Hop music grew. He realized his immense talent and started perfecting his artistry at an early age. His career began at age 11 with first mixtape “Cruel To The Game” which ignited his career and laid the groundwork for the release of his first album ‘Situation Of A Hustler’, produced by Richard “Enigma” Harvey.
By the age of 15, T.R.U.B. gained a massive underground Hip hop fan base. His career stepped to the next level when his music caught the attention of Rob-E-Rob Devine, who was the A&R Director for Image Records. When Devine left Image Records to head his own independent label G Money Records out of Los Angeles, CA, T.R.U.B. leaped at the opportunity to take his music world wide. Rob-E-Rob was so impressed with what he heard and amazed by Trouble’s fresh and dynamic style so he decided to sign this next star in the making to his newly formed label.
Since then, T.R.U.B. has been grinding hard to show the people that his incredible skills and his undeniable flow captures the essence of Hip-Hop music. T.R.U.B. is simply not your average rapper; he’s a lyricist with a UNIQUE style that sets him apart from the competition.
Although young, T.R.U.B. has already had the opportunity to perform and collabo
rate with industry heavyweights like Snoop Dogg, who arranged his West Coast
smash single “Bring Da Funk”, OJ Da Juiceman, 50 Cent and G-Unit, Juvenile,
Young Jeezy, Eminem and D12, Three 6 Mafia, Dem Franchize Boyz, 8Ball &
MJG and Hurricane Chris.
Summer 2010 T.R.U.B. released his mixtape Da Appetizer. DJ’s, clubs and radio
stations are recognizing T.R.U.B. as a force in Hip Hop music from his this mixtape
endeavor. T.R.U.B. expects Da Appetizer to change the game, in a way of people
knowing that he, The Iron Chef, is here! Da Appetizer is hosted by DJ Lil Larry.
