The Addictz x Truth Speaks

So as all of you know, I'm a real music head and love to hear REAL hip hop and REAL music. I recently got to be inspired by some new music by a artist named TRUTH SPEAKS. The boy has some really good material that he is working with and the main thing that i really like about him is that he spits the truth. He's not one of those artists that rap about stuff they're not doing, like getting money and driving cars they don't have. This kid is very talented and i recommend anyone who likes real hip hop to check this here good music. I have this track "Where I Am" on repeat right now. The beat goes hard and so do the lyrics.

Stay tuned for some music and also look out for THE ADDICTZ & TRUTH SPEAKS to be doing some future ventures.

In the mean time, check out a lil bit about Truth Speaks....
