(the picture above is True 2 Life opening up for Joe Budden while in college)

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.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Rappers,

KING

Friday, April 4th, 2008

MLK

In remembrance of the day Martin Luther King Jr, was assassinated, I wanted to share with you true 2 lifers an exerpt from the life and times of MLK. For me, MLK’s persistence to his cause in the face of adversity alone is motivation. Not to mention the overwhelming power of his words and his vision. Anyone in the universe should be able to draw inspiration from the KING.

Here is the exerpt, a quick read from a chapter of MLK’s autobiography. He talks about being stabbed in the chest and not letting that type of violence distract his movement.

Follow your dreams.
