The Truth is a UK-based Asian rapper.

Biography

Truth first came on the scene at the age of 13-14 by sculpting underground urban markets and artists alike. From hosting college radio shows, to setting up local pirate radio stations with freestyles and fights, The Truth slowly built a reputation that saw them take to the stage with artists such as Donaeo and Lady Sovereign.

After leaving aside the radio stations and rave scene, The Truth became part of a four-man MC group. From recording in a computer room to lacing his vocals in a fully equipped studio in the heart of London, The Truth became a solo artist alongside the producer of the group Bobby Wonda. After having taken a break from music and earning a fully certified law degree, The Truth had the freedom to create new music. The music had now become formulated yet liberated; it was now commercialized yet bespoke.

From The Truth's debut single "Kya Karoon" (2010) to his follow-up "Sharabi" (2010), The Truth performed at Wembley Stadium for the Asian Achievers Awards 2010, BBC Maida Vale Studios 2011, and Glastonbury 2011. The Truth's latest single, "I Make 'Em Say" (2011) has been played multiple times on BBC Radio 1.

He has featured on BBC Radio 1, BBC Asian Network, Wembley Stadium, BBC Maida Vale, and Glastonbury 2011. On 1 October 2011, The Truth won Best Urban Act at the Brit Asia Awards 2011, making this his first award, from his first nomination.^[1]
