Brick City’s lyrical marksman Tru Trilla has earned his stripes within New Jersey’s independent hip hop scene for the past 20 years. Citing Rakim and Public Enemy among his earliest influences, he invokes the style of the greats with his trademark fierce rhymes, intelligent wordplay and hard witty bars addressing real life issues from the streets and beyond.
Driven to represent and give voice to his local New Jersey community while championing the traditional values of hip hop’s golden age, he began as a founding member of the group “It’s Only Family” before working with Naughty by Nature, Lords of the Underground and El da Sensei.Through Treach’s Garden State Movement of 2004 which brought the local hip hop community together, multiple cross collaborations led to long term working relationships.
Ultimately the group 050 Boyz were formed with sparring partners Prince Ak and RIQ. Taking their name from New Jersey’s district code planted a flag firmly in the ground to represent the area, as did their classic 2015 album “050 Everything”.
This would prove to be a landmark release for the group, projecting their name beyond Newark as they enjoyed worldwide airplay and written media coverage, culminating with guest appearances on Sirius XM at the invitation of both DJ Eclipse and DJ Premier.
In 2020 Tru Trilla signed with New Dawn Records for two initial releases, “The Seymour Chronicles EP”, out March 17th followed by his incredible album “God of Barz” (May 29th)
