TRUTHLiVE’s debut album (entirely produced by Jake One), Patience, drops April 20th.

TRUTHLiVE stopped by Amoeba Records recently to discuss the motivation behind his music and more. He explains that DJ Shadow’s seminal album Endtroducing is one of the inspirations behind TRUTHLiVE’s music and feels hip-hop, in part, has evolved due to Shadow’s work. With California being the stomping ground for so many influential artists, TRUTHLiVE says, “The thing about rap is it’s super flexible. You can rap over anything. You can rap over any beat, any genre of music. Rap has no limits to it.” With current music being a melting pot and genre labels irrelevant, the rapper embraces all styles and discusses the passion Muse’s “Uprising” track stirs. “It’s just good music, it doesn’t matter what genre it is or what you’re doing.”
