TruthLive – Patience

Karl Marx said “All that is solid melts into air,all that is holy is profaned and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life and his relations with his kind”

The same happened with Hip Hop. Once pure, once the raconteur of our times it got twisted and commercialised, until we had an industry full of chromed out, pimp cup carrying, artists with no message and frustratingly hypnotic beats.

As the five families would say, ‘They have forgotten the old ways’.

TruthLive is a bright young thing set to change all that. Imagine Common met Fort Minor, got locked in a basement until they made an album. The resulting work of genius would be Truthlive’s Patience.

Accessible lyrics wrapped in a relaxed beat; his tracks are like slipping back into an old armchair – comfy. Standout tracks include ‘Poetry In Motion’ and ‘It’s Easy’. If Hip Hop’s so called ‘finest’ have left a sour taste in your mouth, stop waiting and give Patience a listen to.

Patience is available through iTunes, and TruthLive is also on Facebook and Twitter.
