TRU (group)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TRU (The Real Untouchables) is an American rap group from Richmond to New Orleans to consisting of members Master P, C-Murder, Silkk Tha Shocker, King George, Big Ed, Cali G, Sonya C, Fonzo, Milkman, Markest Bank and Daniel Fry.

Tru is a three-piece Gangsta/Southern rap group that No Limit mastermind Master P formed with his younger brothers, Silkk and C-Murder. Tru became the most popular act on No Limit with their 1995 debut album, True; it sold over 500,000 copies with little promotion or airplay, and helped establish No Limit as an underground hip-hop force. Tru released its second album, Tru 2 da Game, early in 1997. Shortly afterward, No Limit exploded, making Master P into a superstar. Given his many duties at the label, along with his forays into filmmaking, basketball, and sports management, plus the burgeoning solo careers of Silkk and C-Murder, it wasn't a surprise that it took Tru two years -- an eternity in No Limit time -- to produce its third album, Da Crime Family.
