Drakeo The Ruler Returns With His First Post-Prison Album, ‘We Know The Truth’

Just three weeks removed from a years-long stint at Men’s Central Jail, Drakeo is free and already back to work. …

Just three weeks removed from a years-long stint at Men’s Central Jail, South Central rapper Drakeo The Ruler is free and already back to work. His new album, We Know The Truth, was released on his birthday and features an unbowed Drakeo returning to his tried-and-true formula of boastful, imaginative rhymes over bass-heavy, hyperactive beats. We Know The Truth is Drakeo’s second album of 2020 after he released the defiant Thank You For Using GTL this summer, recorded on jail phones.

Drakeo was released from Men’s Central after being offered a plea deal for time served in his case. He was accused of criminal gang conspiracy and shooting from a motor vehicle despite being cleared of first-degree murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder charges in July 2019. Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey refiled the more recent charges, prompting Drakeo and his supporters to call the case a personal vendetta against him. However, with the election of a new DA, George Gascón, Drakeo was given the deal that led to his release just a day after the election.

In an interview with NPR, Drakeo posited the reason for Lacey’s animus. “I was successful and I was from the streets. They don’t like to see someone like me make it, it goes against how they operate. For someone like me to get out of the streets, it just goes against everything that they stand for.”

We Know The Truth is out now. Check it out above.

Jeffery journey’s from childhood streets to new heights on latest release “ALBANIE”

Jeffery

“ALBANIE” is a high energy song that was inspired by the streets that Jeffery grew up on. Jeffery’s “ALBANIE” brings you back to where his story began. More than a tip of the cap to a familiar place, the release offers a glimpse into his own path, what kept him going and the want that was there long before others saw his potential.

Jeffery connects his current musical journey to the formative experiences that molded him, drawing on the influences of his early surroundings. It has the feel of an artist looking back on his journey, how much work it took to get where he is now, and how far he’s come.

That energy is a response to the personal significance of the title, making the song a statement of progress as well as a tribute to the location of that progress. That removes some of the authenticity of the release. Success can alter the public’s perception of an artist, but the work behind that progression often begins long before the public becomes aware of it. Jeffery connects his current dreams with his earlier self by reassuming the name he once used in his youth.

ALBANIE is a statement of growth without losing your roots. It’s a mix of personal history, determination and a lively musical style that gets people moving to the beat. Jeffery’s proud of the work he’s done with this release, but also knows the foundation it’s laid. It’s a song that bridges hometown memories and future ambition, a reminder that where an artist starts can still be a vital part of where they’re going.
