TRU - True
TRU stands for The Real Untouchables. The original group was started in the early 90's in Richmond, CA. The members were Master P, C-Murder, Big Ed, Cali G, Fonzo, King George, Sonya C, Silkk The Shocker, Milk Man, Daniel Fry and Markest Bank. The group released two underground albums with that lineup. Later on, the crew moved to New Orleans, LA and was reduced to a trio. Brothers Master P, C-Murder and Silkk The Shocker released their first nationwide album. True was released in 1995 on No Limit Records. Production is done by the infamous Beats By The Pound. Beats are heavily laced with G-Funk style synths and carry deep bass lines. Lyrics stay gangsta and the flows have good rhyme schemes. Featuring on the album is C-Bo, E-A-Ski, Mr. Serv-On, Mia-X, Carmen Traylor and CMT. With the release of this album, TRU became one of the most popular acts on No Limit. This record managed to sell over 500,000 copies without any radio play or promotion.
