Today, rising Watts, CA rapper TruCarr releases “Watts Up,” a rallying anthem dedicated to the home city that raised him. Produced by Pressplayy, the latest single comes off Tru’s upcoming mixtape, Based on a Tru Story, releasing via 100 Entertainment/eOne in March 2021.
In the music video, Tru puts on for his city and his hood, introducing viewers to Watts and all the people who live there.
“I did it to turn the city up, to get the city some recognition,” TruCarr explains.
“There’s people from our city that’s on, like Jay Rock. Shout out to TDE. But I want to bring more to the city. Like people know Compton, I want them to know Watts.”
“Watts Up” follows several other videos released in support of Based on a Tru Story including the Rich the Kid-assisted “Lose My Mind, the Hardini-assisted “She Got That,” the G Perico-assisted “What I See,” and the Bankroll Freddie-assisted “Up Wit It.”
