http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufN3sNsqNqAhttp://www.youtube .com/watch?v=ufN3sNsqNqA*Tru G biography 2009:For most of his career, Colorado rap artist Tru G (aka Ryan Gaddy) has been like a round peg trying to fit into a square hole. He just doesn’t fit the mold. After all, he’s a white guy from the country trying to compete in the urban music scene, which is dominated by black artists. He’s been criticized, ridiculed, publicly humiliated, burned by con artists posing as music business “professionals,” and stabbed in the back by so-called friends. All that rejection has produced two results: 1) It has made Tru G more determined than ever to succeed, and: 2) It’s given him skin thicker than a swamp water alligator. “I’ll never quit,” he says with an air of finality that sounds as much threat as promise. “I’m gonna keep climbin’ till I get to the top.” Tru G demonstrates his significant growth as both songwriter and artist on his third release, “Elite Society.” A joint venture with Denver producer extraordinaire Playalitical, it will be nationally released early in 2009 by a yet-to-be-named, well-known national distributor. In some ways “Elite Society” is a radical departure from Tru G’s first two albums. A self contained artist, he composed the music, wrote the lyrics, arranged the music, plus engineered and mixed everything on 2004’s “Write Now” and 2007’s “New Project. But on this third album, every song is a collaboration between Playalitical and Tru G. Playalitical wrote and record-ed the musical tracks at his Illuminated Records studio in Denver and Tru G wrote and recorded the vocal tracks at his Springboard Records studio east of Colorado Springs. Playalitical has an impressive track record, producing albums for national acts such as Bizzy Bone, Chino XL and Orlinda Cordova. “I’m very thankful to be working with Playalitical,” Tru G said. “I’ve always said I’d be a better rapper if I had someone else makin’ the beats.” His prognosis proves correct on “Elite Society.” The album is loaded with engaging melodies and surprising, sophisticated lyrical delivery that sometimes demonstrates an aggressive rap-rock style. One listen will tell you why “Sicker Than Your Average” has been tapped as the first single. It’s one of those songs that sticks in your mind and has you hummin’ along after just one spin. Although he’s only 21-years-old, Tru G has already had a taste of national exposure. His beats, publishing company and recording studio are credited on the 2008 release “Something Sacred” by Chino XL and Playalitical. In fact, it was one of Tru G’s songs, “Smokescreen,” that received the most critical acclaim and airplay. With that notch in his belt, Tru G is setting his sights on national exposure as an artist when he releases “Elite Society” in early 2009. “This is my breakthrough album,” Tru G states in a matter-of-fact tone. “I’ve waited a long time for this.” Tru G was showing some fierce determination right from the start, making two trips to Los Angeles to promote his music while he was still in high school. He was a high school senior when his first album came out. In between record releases he’s been doing shows whenever he gets the opportunity. “But Colorado Springs isn’t exactly a rap music capital,” Tru G says. He’s tried to overcome the disadvantage of living far from a major music center by meeting major acts when they come to Colorado for concerts. As a result he has met a lot of artists – everyone from Bizzy Bone to Ludacris and from John Legend to David Banner. Watch for the nationwide release of “Elite Society” early in 2009. And with a little luck, a nationwide tour will follow. For information about Tru G go to www.myspace.com/therealtrug.
