Today on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we revisit our November 2018 interview with Lower East Side rapper Tru Life, one of the realest, most harrowing, most compelling and inspiring conversations we've ever had. Tru details his tough early years in New York City's Lower East Side, how he decided school wasn't for him, how music led to recording sessions at Mark and Donnie Wahlberg's studio, connecting with Snoop Dogg, and how Ving Rhames looked out strictly because he believed in Tru Life's talents. We discuss the DVD era and how the drama undermined an artist's talents, how Sickamore brought out the best in Tru's abilities, how Green Lantern called up Jay-Z and convinced him to not fly out of town and instead take a meeting with Tru Life, how Jay refused to let Tru leave the office until he signed a deal with Roc La Familia, and how Cipha Sounds started off as Tru's A&R, but became as close as blood brothers. Tru gets into his time away, the weight of facing a life sentence, figuring out whether loyalty and codes really meant anything, the tears he shed over not seeing his kids grow up, why he dedicated himself to his studies, and what ultimately got him through his eight years behind bars. We get into the realities of going from the system to freedom, how he wasn't ready for the trappings of the music industry upon his release, how he's grown over the past two years, moving to the suburbs, and what he's bringing to the table with his new music. All that, plus stories about Jay, Beyonce, TI, Future, Bobby Shmurda, Tory Lanez, Jim Jones, the inmates who broke out of Clinton Correctional Facility while he was there, and so much more!

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome manager, dot-connector, and Cinematic Music Group partner Hovain Hylton to the Upper West Side! Hovain discuses the dark realities in growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn, exploring all other parts of the borough as a young man, gaining musical inspiration from seeing Puff Daddy and the Family at Madison Square Garden, and life inspiration from seeing his own cousin's music video on television. Hov talks putting off real jobs and industry internships in favor of running around with Sickamore, road managing Rich Hil, and building a truly independent operation with Troy Ave. We get into the excitement of inspiring the streets, putting on for New York City, and selling themselves as an authentic movement, as well as the validation that comes from playing Hot 97 Summer Jam's main stage, taking and walking away from major label meetings and starting over after one business ends. His talks about the perfect situation he has these days at Cinematic alongside Jonny Shipes, managing OGs like Styles P, Sheek Louch and Smoke DZA and young stars like Luh Kel, and what it means to still be a fan and have the ear of luminaries like Fat Joe and N.O.R.E. All that, plus how he pulled up to the Summer Jam parking lot, what his mom thinks he does for a living, why he can no longer be a Knicks fan, the one and only pair of shoes he's missing in his extensive collection, and much more!4:26 AKAsEric aka The One-Ders aka Cinematic Music Group Jeff aka Thinking Outside the Box aka Sitting in the Friend Zone Hovain speaks about:7:35 Growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn18:16 His relationship with Sickamore/Beginning his management career 29:23 Staying independent/ What he brings to the table as a manager 39:44 His fallout with Troy Ave/ Interviewing for Fancy and starting to manage other artists 50:01 His relationship with Jonny Shipes/Striving to be great1:02:24 His sneaker collection/ Working with people he grew up admiring 1:11:12 Sean Price/ Still being ambitious/ Having a Brooklyn bias 1:16:31 Outro See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
