The Professional:

PAPERMILL ENTERTAINMENT. In 2003 True, along with his brothers Henry “Hoop” Brown and Maurice "Reese M.A.C." Kilo formed PAPERMILL ENTERTAINMENT, a joint venture focusing on music and media. For their record label (Papermill) the belief is that through hard work and hot talent, coupled with strong material and savvy business moves the same successes the major labels reap can be attained for PAPERMILL. A label where the artist will be respected and will not get lost in the shuffle. The first step towards a platinum direction was True’s CD "LEGACY", which featured the hit singles The Woods (also featured on Nick Cannon Presents...America's Wild Style Champs) and Gina. Videos for these songs are found on YouTube (search True The Woods and/or True Gina). The next step is True's new CD "AUTHENTIC".

The Project: AUTHENTIC

This joint, by far, is the one of the hottest records in recent memory. AUTHENTIC is a solid disc featuring True’s unmatched lyrical flair and his ooooh so cool delivery. A classic in the making, Authentic’s blazing tracks are the result of True collaborating with Chicago’s best and baddest! Producers Xcel (who brought you Gettin Some Head by Shawnna and Watch My Feet by Dude N Nem) Chris K, and J Twist provide the illest tracks and grooves to compliment True's potent wordplay. On the mellow tip vocalist Kamara, Keynote (B.E.T. Sunday's Best), Cleo Cenci, and Soroya assist True when he feels like smoothing it out. Overall AUTHENTIC is burning and will have heads bobbin’ constantly. Forget keepin’ it real…PAPERMILL is keepin’ it TRUE and AUTHENTIC!
