Ben Fly & Smoov Sh*t Bangn Join Andre Truth For “Memories”

Aug 26, 2021

There isnā€™t much Andre Truth hasnā€™t seen firsthand in his lifetime. Born in Seattle, Washington and bred in South Central, Los Angelesā€”the prolific screen and songwriter has weathered the rigors of the block and the boardroom, notching recognition and respect with every move he makes. 

Formerly known as Young Dreā€™ The Truth, his first Billboard Hot 100 hit came with 2008ā€™s ā€œMoney Canā€™t Buy You Love.ā€ He was later featured on the Madden 2009 soundtrack (ā€œWorkingā€ f. Good Charlotte), NBA Live 2010 soundtrack (ā€œAll Eyez On Me The Truthā€ f. 2Pac and BJ The Chicago Kid), EA Sports Fight Night Round 4 soundtrack (ā€œCheah Bahā€ f. Snoop Dogg), and multiple placements in Starzā€™ hit series Power (ā€œBoo Coo,ā€ ā€œKing,ā€ and ā€œFireā€). 

His latest hit, Juan Magaā€™s ā€œInternacionalā€ featuring Andre Truth and Cee-Lo Green has surpassed 10 million streams on Spotify. On the horizon, a new television series created by Andre Truth, Cellys (co-starring Slink Johnson) is set to premiere on Tubi in Fall 2021.   

And throughout his journey through music and film, Andre Truth has remained laser aimed on expanding his independent label, KC3 Monumental. 

ā€œMemoriesā€ (featuring Ben Fly and Smoov Shit Bangn) their latest offering, is a West Coast, smoke and ride ready toast to all those who sadly couldnā€™t be here with us to witness their success. 

ā€œMemoriesā€ is dedicated to our loved ones whoā€™ve passed on,ā€ Andre Truth says. ā€œItā€™s about a sense of community in salute to all the dead homies that passed away. My sister, Smoothā€™s mom, and Flyā€™s mom all passed on. Community and love is all we have at the end of the day. My homeboy Ben Fly, who delivers an important verse on the song, served 22 years in prison. His mom passed away while he was locked up. He told me once, ā€˜all I have left are memories with you when we were teenagers and I was a kid.ā€™ All he had was old memories. He wanted to make new memories. Iā€™m just happy we got to do that in this song.ā€

Support for ā€œMemoriesā€ is greatly appreciated.
