DALLAS, TX – To understand the kind of artist that Tru Def is, one needs look no further than his most recent single, “Real Raps.” It’s a song that he wrote and produced himself, and its lyrics speak directly to the truth of who he is and the journey that he’s been on to get to this point in his music career.
 
“I talk about all the things I’ve done – from meeting Jay Z in New York and Kanye in Chicago, to sharing stages with artists like Snoop Dogg, Lupe Fiasco, Ludacris, Fabolous, Pitbull, Lil Jon, Big Krit and more!” Tru Def said. “I’ve been in movie theaters nationwide, I’ve worked with Microsoft and Bud Light, and collaborated with a lot of industry people. This is all from a guy who didn’t have it easy growing up in Dallas. I was raised by my grandmother, but I never made any excuses. I just kept going, and I’m still going to this day. That’s what I want people to get out of my music – that if you believe in yourself and don’t let anything stop you, then you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.”
 
That connection with fans is something Tru Def desires more than anything with his music. He considers that connection to be spiritual, and his mantra to dedicate yourself to a purpose and stick to it is one that comes from his own self-proclaimed prophecies.
“I’m the kind of guy who speaks things into existence and they happen,” he said. “I believe in a higher power and spirit and that definitely finds its way into my music. Sometimes I’ll rap my lyrics and then go back and listen to it and realize I’ve said something before it even happened, and it eventually came true.”
 
Tru Def is a spiritual guy whose lyrics have depth and allow fans to connect with him. His music is fun and laidback, and he infuses several styles within each song. His tracks often have a deeper message to the lyrics that people can listen to each track repeatedly and catch new phrases of inspiration.
 
“He connects with his fans by empowering them,” said Trevoy, Tru Def’s business partner. “When they see him perform they connect with his energy. What you see is his true form and people gravitate to that natural energy. I’ve seen him affect pockets of people all over the world, and the more we can elevate his brand and get his message out, the more people we can affect.”
 
Tru Def said he loves that people connect to his music that way, and that he hopes to be able to give more people goose bumps. “Real Raps” is the most recent endeavor to help inspire people, and the music video for the single helps take that message to another level. He’s also currently working on a new project called “Dreams to Reality,” that he hopes to release later this year. Fans can also join his brand by purchasing merchandise from his Aufstand clothing brand – a name that was inspired by a German word that means “rebel.”
 
Tru Def has an upcoming performance on June 3 with T.I. for the Hustle Gang Tour in Dallas, TX at Gas Monkey Live.

SHREVEPORT, LA – When Jonathan “King” Baines was a child, his mother performed as a backup singer for a popular Louisiana-based artist. He would often find himself joining his mother at shows, and the artist would invite him onto stage during warmups and encourage him to try his hand at performing and rapping. It was his introduction to playing to a crowd, and he very quickly realized just how much he loved it.
 
Today, the professional musician from Shreveport, Louisiana is riding a wave of success after the release of his new single “Do It to the Buick.” The song is a signature single behind his Go 4 Broke label because, as he said, it was a personal request from his very first public fan encounter.
 
King has had his fair share of struggles along the way to his current music career. He grew up in a neighborhood with high crime and saw his uncle convicted to a 15-year prison sentence. He also lost friends to gun violence and even served his own lengthy prison sentence. All of those things have influenced him to today create music that influences others to avoid that negative lifestyle and embrace a lifestyle that encourages one another and promotes unity.
 
“When people hear my music I want them to feel relieved,” he said. “I want them to see me as someone who has been through the same things that they might be going through right now. I talk to a lot of people and I always tell them to not feel alone. They’re not the only person going through it and there’s always a way to get out of it. My music is therapy and people who feel like me can relate to me. I’m counseling the people coming out of the streets like me – people who are surrounded by violence and murders and drug sales and people who stabbed them in the back. Maybe they don’t know how to react or they feel alone. I want to help them understand that we all relate in some way. If you’re going through some situation, I want my music to make you put the gun down, or if you’re a girl who doesn’t feel appreciated I want to help you feel appreciated.”
 
King said he and his friend and business partner Snake Eyes created the label Go 4 Broke to create music with this message behind it. They’re getting ready to release a compilation album called “Go 4 Broke Presents King Baines Unleashed,” and the first single from the album – “Sleep Is for the Rich” – will be dropping in May. They’re also ready to release a series of videos called “Who Is King Baines” – a compilation of videos, performances and raw documented material that will better acquaint the audience with him as an artist.
 
“Most of what we try to do is empower and uplift, while giving reality,” King said. “I’m not a preacher in a pulpit talking about things that I’ve never been through. I’m pushing to strengthen what weakens us. If you’re a single parent, or if you have an absent father or mother, my music is going to be there for you. There are tons of people out there preaching bout problems but not offering solutions. I want to be someone who offers solutions.”
