Today, rising Watts rapper TruCarr releases his debut project Based on a Tru Story. With his distinctive raspy Southern twang from his Louisiana mother and grandmother, Los Angeles swag, and his refreshingly tell it like it is style and witty wordplay, TruCarr has quickly become one of rap’s unique talents.
For the project, the Nickerson Gardens native recruits producers BongoByTheWay, Scum Beatz and Pressplayy for his follow-up 12-track mixtape with features from Blueface, Sada Baby, Rich The Kid, G Perico, Bankroll Freddie, Hardini, Kiddo Curry, Just Mikeyy and Coyote.
TruCarr states, “I started off like I wasn’t going to tell anybody any fake shit. I’m going to keep it 100 and I’m talking about my life, so it’s Based On A Tru Story. Basically whatever you go through, keep going! Cause I done been through a lot of shit. My daughter passed away at 3 months after going through 13 surgeries. That’s who’s tatted on my neck. She’s my motivation.”
Along with the mixtape release, TruCarr is also debuting a haunting LouieKnows directed music video for his cautionary tale “Bout Mine” with Sada Baby, which you can watch here.
