(AllHipHop News) Roberto “Tru Life” Rosado Jr. is finally home after serving over 7 years in prison for murder, manslaughter, and assault. The Lower East Side rapper was once part of Jay Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records where he famously beefed with fellow New Yorkers Mobb Deep and Dipset.

Power 105’s DJ Prostyle spoke with Tru Life after his release. The “Watch Me Fall” performer still showed love to Jay and his new label.

“I got all type of things getting ready to go down. It’s definitely going down like a 747 with no gas,” replied Tru Life when asked if new music was on the way. “Shout out to the whole Roc Nation, my boy Jay Z.”

Tru also revealed he plans to release a documentary about his life. According to the Tru York mixtape creator, HBO and other networks are in talks to broadcast the film.

It’s official. Tru Life is home.

In 2011, Tru Life was sentenced to eight years in prison for a fatal stabbing incident. He was signed to Jay Z’s Roc La familia imprint at the time, but now that he’s back his label situation is unclear.

Born Roberto Guzmán Rosado Jr. on March 19, 1976, he was raised in the Lower East Side and signed with Hov around 2005 after releasing his first album Cryin’ Out Loud in 2001.

During his time with Jigga, Tru Life dropped two projects – 2005’s The New New York: The Movement and 2007’s Tru York, the second of which featured Hov on the intro. When Hov parted ways with Def Jam, XXL caught up with Tru Life to talk about what he’d be doing afterwards.

“I was Roc-A-Fella all day first off, let’s get that clear,” the L.E.S. rapper told XXL in ’08. “I signed to Roc La Familia but I was always Roc-A-Fella. I was just Latin, but when that folded it was easy, they just moved me over to Roc-A-Fella. I’m a smart business man so when I found out Jay-Z was gonna leave – cause I got the heads up, cause that’s my big homie – I didn’t wanna stay there either at Def Jam.

“It was also in my contract that if they didn’t put out my album, they had to give me $300,000,” Tru revealed. “So being the smart businessman that I am I took that $300K, they did it under the radar so nobody really knew, but I been was off of Def Jam for a while. We did it before Jay-Z actually left. I left Def Jam, but I’m still with Roc-A-Fella, I’m still with Jay-Z. Me and Jay was just out in Vegas balling out, spending stacks. You can ask Jay.”

Super cool, for what we were doing.

 

[Hotlantan]

I'm confused - the article quotes all seem to be from 2008 and earlier. Are those Vine clips new or old? Does Tru Life have a connect to anybody who can help him make money now? Cause he's 40 something and was never known for much more than beefing.
