This week on The Truth Hurts Jeff & Free are joined by the Sultan of Slaps himself: P-Lo. He tells us why he thinks podcasts have ruined humanity. Everybody's just looking for an exploitative sound bite to proliferate via algorithms. But P-Lo still ends up dropping unpopular truth after unpopular truth about the Bay and beyond. There's substance behind his hot takes.Also: plenty of stories about working with legends like E-40, Too $hort, Dr. Dre, what it was like when HBK and Iamsu! blew up, convincing Swaggy P to come to the Warriors, and why you should always live your life like Lil B is watching.00:00 Training for the SF marathon3:06 Master P4:15 Early Bay Area Inspiration7:42 Family background15:56 First song on the radio 17:33 Learning independent hustle from the Bay20:53 The Pack & Larry June 22:34 Lil B & Bieber23:56 Hyphy26:13 Mac Dre’s death27:30 Starting producing30:30 Early producer/rapper career40:12 Iamsu!

Skrilla
Skrilla ( @paymeskrilla ) joins Jeff Weiss, Rosecrans Vic and Free at Pro Club in LA. He talks about growing up in Kensington, AKA Zombieland: a neighborhood where it is, infamously, regular but not normal. Skrilla is the self-proclaimed face of Zombieland, cultivating hits from the depths of the underworld and unleashing them to galvanize the next generation of Philly's sound. His eccentric personality, Mexican heritage, and affiliation with the religion Santeria make him a compelling character with a unique perspective that cuts through in his songs. He got started listening to Meek Mill and Lil Wayne and searching for Tyler, the Creator Type Beats, but Skrilla doesn't sound like any of those artists and no one else could possibly sound like him. He also tells the story of how he was selling drugs while breaking high school cross-country records, which is pretty impressive. 🔔 Thanks for watching.

Acerca de The Truth Hurts w/ Jeff Weiss, Rosecrans Vic and Free
The Truth Hurts is the antithesis to hip-hop podcasts dedicated to shameless clout-chasing and nihilistic exploitation. Instead of contrived drama and sinister gossip, the show seeks to chronicle the stories and lives of America's most compelling artists. It features journalists who've been embedded for years in the West Coast scene, but covers topics and personalities impacting popular culture at large. Each week, hosts Jeff Weiss, Rosecrans Vic & Free sit down at Pro Club in LA with musicians to break down their art, life and career from an honest, unflinching, music-first perspective.
