Tru Life Talks Life After Prison, Relationship With Future & Jay-Z + Freestyles [Video]

After being locked up for 8 years, Tru Life stopped by Sway in the Morning and showed us he’s a changed man. Being at the wrong place at the wrong time, Tru Life, which stands for “the righteous unite and everybody living in a fantasy environment”, was wrongfully convicted for a crime he didn’t commit and ended up serving 8 years in jail. “With God, hard work, and dedication”, Tru Life was able to get two degrees while in jail and is currently working on his Masters. When Heather B asked how he didn’t go in a dark place after being released from jail, Tru Life said “spiritually you have to be inclined with your maker and never give up”. He did go in a dark place, but was able to pull out of it by the grace of God. Now being released, Tru spent a couple weeks solely with his family, but is back to his music grind. With new music featuring Rick Ross, Tru is ready to spread his mentality with the world. So far, he’s gotten mad love from HOV, being signed to Rocafella right before getting locked up, and Future, who he knows as “Meathead”, we’re sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of Tru. Plus, the New York rapper spits his first freestyle since getting locked up, gives advice to the “youngins” who think they need to be gangsta and do music, assists Sway in eating his first “breakfast of champions” (cereal and champagne), and

Talib Kweli Vs. Diabolic

Talib Kweli responds to Diabolic’s diss track “IneKwelity” with “You Tried It”. Whenever there’s a war of words in Hip-Hop, fans and followers alike often ask for the involved parties to “put it on wax!” Well, that’s just what New York rapper Diabolic has done with “IneKwelity,” a searing stream of shots aimed squarely at nemesis, Talib Kweli. For those not keeping up with the tiff, the two crossed paths and eventually got into it on Twitter. And rather than handle the business through a conversation on the social networking platform, Kweli took to his Medium account to pen a takedown piece about Diabolic and others who he says suffer from alleged “white fragility.” Rightfully so, Diabolic wasn’t having it. And rather than let things play out as they had, he hit the booth to do what he does best: body his enemy with battle raps. Produced by Junior Makhno (Vinnie Paz & Ill Bill, Chief Kamachi), “IneKwelity” boasts a haunting instrumental that’s perfectly suited for Diabolic’s unrelenting stream of ruthless bars. After mocking Black Star’s “Definition” chorus, he goes straight for the gut for nearly five minutes. Also, just to make sure none of his words are misunderstood or improperly cited, he’s provided the lyrics for “IneKwelity”—required reading if you’re following this story. “IneKwelity” is now available for stream, and can be downloaded through iTunes and all major digital retailers.
