TRU (an abbreviation of The Real Untouchables) was an American hip hop group, with members from New Orleans, Louisiana and Richmond, California,[1] active from 1989 to 2005.[1] Between 1992 and 1997 the band dwindled from a dozen members to just the main three brothers, Master P, C-Murder, and Silkk the Shocker.
The group released six albums, incorporating the typical No Limit formula of G-funk rhythms married to hardcore gangsta lyrics.[2]
History
Master P, his brothers C-Murder and Silk, his wife Sonya C, King George, Fonzo, Calli G, Markest Banks, Daniel Fry, Big Ed, Daria Kelly, Ea-Ski and CMT were credited as The Real Untouchables when Understanding the Criminal Mind was released in 1992.[3] When Who's Da Killer? was released in 1993 only King George, Calli G, Big Ed, and the brothers remained, joined by Milkman to form TRU.[4] Milkman was gone again when True was released in 1995,[5] and only the brothers were left when Tru 2 da Game was released in 1997.[6]
The trio released Da Crime Family in 1999. C-Murder, imprisoned for life in 2003 after murdering a teenage fan,[7] was replaced by Halleluyah on The Truth (2005), the group's final release.
