Truth Ali – Lost In Paradise ft. Royce Da ‘5’9″ (Produced By Epik The Dawn) [audio]
Dynamic flow and inventive lyrics coupled with a heavy baritone voice are just a few ways to describe rising emcee, Truth Ali. Born in Bakersfield California , Truth represents the struggle and blue collar work ethic of his hometown combined with the laid-back appeal of his adopted home town San Diego , California .
Truth was raised around music, as his grandfather, Sunny Stokes, was a jazz/funk singer and as such, he values the technical side of emceeing, like syllable/wordplay, metaphors and storytelling. His goal is to remain true to himself and create music that resonates for generations ahead. “I didn’t do my job if I’m not drenched in sweat after I perform,†Truth continues. “I want to connect with people so that they experience my emotions. And maybe, just maybe make someone who has dealt with the same struggles as me, feel free for that moment.â€
Truth Ali is currently completing his debut album, Trail Of Tears, but today he releases the projects first single, “Lost In Paradise,†featuring Royce Da 5’9â€.
