As the first track that sets the stage, "100 Truth" from ||| D is more than just a song; it's a declaration of unity, identity, and musical passion. Stitching together the vibrant threads of nationality, each member of the trio echoes the same sentiment: despite the years, their souls remain alight with the indomitable flame of music. Their age? Just a number. The fiery urge to chase creative dreams? Ever-present and impossible to ignore.
If you're expecting to hear a typical hip-hop rhythm, prepare for a pleasant surprise. "100 Truth" carries an inventive beat that stands apart—a ticking melody, reminiscent of a clock, urging listeners to seize the moment and channel their inner creator. After all, if ||| D could shake off years of rust to reignite their musical journey, so can you.
The message is clear: Don't die with music left in you.
The track's chorus is both catchy and emblematic. Initially, it began with the trio chanting, "Roof roof, you know we spit that 100 truth, truth! truth! yeah that 100 proof." But with David the IV aka the Flea's vision and Alexander Oberrader's expertise, the chorus transformed, evoking an Onyx-esque vibe as if a vast crowd was echoing the anthem.
Written by the collaborative genius of the Flea, Kelo, and Fo, the song tells its story seamlessly. Fo the leader kicks things off with a compelling first verse, followed by Kelo's soothing voice, and finally, Flea delivers a sharp freestyle that teases listeners with a hint of "Get Em", the next masterpiece on the album. Eli Fribush's mixing at HOTC Studios in Greensboro, NC, further elevates the track.
Perhaps what's most astounding about "100 Truth" and the album is the trio's adaptability. With Flea in Munich, Germany, Kelo in Texas, and Fo in NC, the entire track and album were crafted digitally. The result? An awe-inspiring testament to the bond they share. Distance and time may have intervened, but the camaraderie of ||| D remains undiminished. Their musical cohesion, even after all these years after college, is nothing short of spectacular.
