True 2 Life Music is a creative collective founded at Cornell University, an Ivy League University located i nIthaca, New York. True 2 Life Music is based in Brooklyn, NY, USA.
 
True 2 Life Music is notable for combining influences from the Golden age of hip hop with a sound that is progressive, experimental, and innovative. Utilizing varied subject matter and live instrumentation combined with eclectic sampling and production.
 
The True 2 Life sound has been described as, “a sound that has no region.” True 2 Life’s self-produced cascading, sample heavy boardwork is poignant, boisterous, unstoppable, cohesive, and powerful.
 
Since its inception, True 2 Life Music’s style and alternative aesthetic deviated from the then-dominant “gangsta” persona in hip hop. As a result True 2 Life has fought off the predetermined judgement of others as they sought to “break the mold” by representing a dynamic representation of the black male identity and experience in America. Being a self-contained, self-produced unit, True 2 Life’s early sound was described as “jazz fusion, drawing on influences such as DJ Premier, Kanye West, Talib Kweli, Common, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Nas and Freeway.
 
“True 2 Life music is the group bridged the gaps between eras with 90’s beats and 21st century flow,” “[True 2 Life Music] combines the best flavors of two generations.” – MTV Iggy
