Filthy put us on to some exclusives this morning…a collection of photography of the Obama campaign. The photos were taken by Scout Tufankjian and posted on her website. There was some really dope shots in there. I had to thief some of them and post to our blog just because. Hopefully she (Scout is a female photographer based in Brooklyn!) sees her credit and doesn’t try to send Polaris after us.

Anyways…there are only 6 days until election day! I’m anxious just thinking that the face of this country can be changed in less than a week. We HAVE to elect that man Obama! These images are definitely moving enough to give you hope that Obama has the power to unite this country and bring change we need.

as always…stay true,

Back when we were young in college and diaper fresh out the box in up-state New York, there was only one station giving an underground rap group shine, Ithaca College’s own WICB. Now MTV has recognized one of our favorite college radio stations for their amazing work.

The Woodie Awards express the best in cutting edge music and WICB is up for College Radio Station of the Year. Help them out below by voting here.

WCIB, thanks for giving us that early platform.

Whats Good True 2 Lifers?!

Last night we performed in front of an electric crowd of about 3000 at Rutgers University to open up for Lupe Fiasco. Jerz was in the building and as you can guess we’ll say…the show was dope.

But for real tho…the show was dope. Like our last show at Loyola and Towson the crowd was live and we WENT IN. We were feeling good from taking the stage soaring through performing our latest single to close out the set. Then Lu took the stage and ROCKED OUT. His show set gets better and better every performance and its a dope benchmark for any performer out. Word. Lu did a back flip at the end of his set. Seriously. And for real…True 2 Life is heading to that point where we can offer others the same opportunity to open and become that level of inspiration.

Thanks to everyone that came out and thank you Rutgers for having a good time with us. We had mad fun.

If you were there, send performance reviews to jeezy44@gmail.com for lupefiasco-lupend.blogspot.com

And let us know what you thought as well (true2lifemusic@gmail.com)

True 2 Lifers,

Here is a really strong record off of Live. Love. Listen. Volume 1 (download, get it now!). The record features Frontpage (talented young emcee out of Hartford CT currently in Boston, MA) and Mike Maven who you heard on records like “Tonight” & Move on That Body (even tho Move On That Body is presently “unreleased” we perform it at shows)

The song takes you through different sides of story about a young man caught up in gun violence. and yes, its meant to be dramatic and dark…peep the live guitar solo at the end. shouts to mave.
