He released a mixtape series in the summer of 2011 which was titled “Mixtape killer” under Turnout Records an American/Nigerian Record label. The mixtape didn’t do too well, but he was relentless in his hustle.
Breaking away from his former label in early 2012 he went ahead to continue his career.
That same year, he was on the Nokia “Don’t Break the Beat” rap battle competition, in which he took third place. A few months later, he was featured on Modenine’s ‘Occupy The throne’ mixtape, Aq’s E.P, also on Cyrus The Virus’ infiltration mixtape.
He also performed alongside Illbliss in the February 2013 edition of the “one mic” live band session.
He dropped his “Truce Shall Set You Free” mixtape (#TSSYF) in June that same year, featuring his major songs “see” and “hold on” which enjoyed airplay on radio stations nationwide, and got him major online buzz and co-signs from industry heavy weights.
The young rapper who is also a copywriter joined the X3M Music family in November 2014 and is currently a featured character “Jared” in the Nigerian TV series – Tinsel.
He released his debut single titled “better days” in May 2015. The single features label mate Praiz and has enjoyed airplay and positive reception from the general public. Truce is currently working on a new sound which he says is an infusion of rap music to every other genre, creating what he tags as “feel good music”.
