Queens emcee Truth teams up once again with legendary production duo Da Beatminerz for his latest single “Check It Out,” a hard-hitting boom bap anthem powered by dusty drums, chopped samples, and a hook that sticks long after the beat fades. Truth’s commanding delivery and razor-sharp lyricism slice through the Beatminerz production with the kind of precision that made New York hip-hop a cultural cornerstone.
The single is the first taste of Nostalgia ThEraPy 2, the full-length follow-up to last year’s acclaimed project, arriving Friday, November 21 via Animal Military Records. Entirely produced by DJ Evil Dee and Mr. Walt, the new project promises a return to hip-hop’s raw essence — the chemistry between Truth and Da Beatminerz is undeniable, bridging generations with an authentic sound that never ages.
Over seven tracks, Nostalgia ThEraPy 2 keeps the focus on heavy beats, sharp bars, and real storytelling. Guest appearances include Psycho Les, Tragedy Khadafi, and Royal Flush, with DJ JS-1 providing precise turntable cuts across several songs. Tracks like “Cause for Concern” and “Want It Back” highlight Truth’s lyrical stamina and his dedication to preserving the art form’s integrity, while “Redrum Seen” and “Done Did It” push the energy into darker, cinematic territory.
With its mix of grit, skill, and reverence for the craft, Nostalgia ThEraPy 2 stands as both a continuation and celebration of East Coast hip-hop’s golden sound. It’s a reminder that real rap never went anywhere, it just evolved with artists like Truth keeping the flame alive.
