You find your Snoop Doggs, Eminems, 50 Cents and The Games and Kendrick Lamars. Dre, and become a hip-hop mogul, recruiting and producing new talent through his own label, Prolific Records. Instead he’s resolved to follow in the footsteps of his mentor, Dr. My kids are getting older and they’re more active in their life. These days, man, I don’t have that time no more. There’s a lot of moving pieces to put together the quality of music. “It takes a lot of energy, time and love to put together these classic albums. “I been in the game a little while, man,” he bellows down the phone.

Both a victory lap and a clear-eyed look back on a storied career, it weaves classic samples – such as Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s ‘Get Money’ – around hard-won observations from an elder statesman of rap. The 25-track record cleverly combines the rapper’s trademark West Coast soul with a more modern trap sound. The milestone clearly put him in a reflective mood, coinciding with the release of ‘Born 2 Rap’, his blockbuster ninth album.

Tru's core members are C-Murder "Da Killa," Master P "Ice Cream Man," and The Shocker.
