Born Stanley Louis (April 30, 1994) in Palm Beach, Fl. The Haitian American Rapper, currently based in Orlando, Fl has a melodic trap sound that motivates us to get in our bag. Dope Truth is no amateur in the music world as he comes from a musical family. The artist started his journey as a former DJ in high school for a couple of years; graduated from Royal Palm Beach High school. Truth began sharing his personal music with us in 2016 with his debut project No Investor featuring his hit track 'Bag'. He uses music as a way to express himself, as it is hard to speak on his life on a personal level he prefers you get to know him through his lyrics. The artist is unapologetic-ally his own person but finds inspiration from influential rap artists, 50 cent, Lil Wayne, and Fabulous. Truth's sound is Trap inspired, with a gritty flow, and paper chasing lyricism. The rapper believes in not waiting for anyone to do something for you but to make it happen on your own.
