Rising Joliet rapper Tru Meanin is a living testament to what happens when faith meets resilience, loss becomes legacy, and truth becomes your loudest weapon. Born into a Christian household filled with gospel melodies and life lessons, Tru’s journey started before he could even ride a bike. His father, T-Mo-G, introduced him to rhythm, soul, and storytelling early on.
When Tru tragically lost his father in 2003, heartbreak became fuel. Using music as both therapy and tribute, he carved a path rooted in authenticity and emotion. Growing up, he witnessed the duality of life — struggle and hustle. Often embodied by street legends who were also gifted musicians. Those early influences shaped his signature approach: truth first, music second.
Today, his sound bridges spiritual energy with street reality, drawing influence from icons like 2Pac, Lil Wayne, Drake, Starlito, and Young Jeezy. Every verse is crafted from experience; every bar carries intention. In fact, Tru’s recent releases — “Stojakovic,” “Out Of Town,” “Missing Files,” “Lost,” and “Im Coofy Now” continue this tradition, offering fans raw lyricism paired with polished delivery and melodic hooks.
Whether commanding the stage at ATL Hollywood or igniting sold-out rooms at Mojoes, Tru has proven that his voice resonates because it comes from a real place. His mantra, “Tru Meanin of Gettin Fly,” is a lifestyle. Representing authenticity, ambition, and rising above adversity.
