True Stacks: A Steel City Rapper

Pittsburgh has been delivering raw talent in the music industry in the past few years. A familiar place amongst Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller is Taylor Allderdice High School.  A name you can now associate with that same high school is True Stacks.

True Stacks is a 21 year old rapper who is currently unsigned, but has been on the scene since he started rapping at age 13. In July, he released his album “True Stacks the Mixtape” on iTunes containing 12 tracks of pure “Steel City” sound.

Culprit Magazine sat down and had a Q&A with True Stacks.

 

How would you define your music?

I feel like I’m more of a lyricist then anything.  You can listen to one of my songs and hear different punch lines each time.

When did you know that you would be a performer?

Since grade school I was always writing my own raps or reciting other famous raps and perform them in front of my boys.

Who are your musical inspirations and what influences your music?

My musical inspirations are 2pac, Jay Z, Jadakiss, and a lot of old school music.  And real life situations is what inspires me to make music.

What do you want people to take away from your music?

What I want people to take from my music is that staying consistent and working hard, you can get to where you want to be.  And to just be yourself.

Who would you most like to open up for? Where? When?

Not sure who I want to open up for the most, but I think it would be unreal if Biggie, Kayne West, and myself did a cypher in Pittsburgh.

Have you collaborated with any major rappers?

No major colabs, but look for some in the near future.

What are some of your next goals to get to the top of the music industry?

More tapes. More shows. More videos. More Everything.

What do you hope to accomplish in your rap career?

I just want to make classic music that last years after I’m gone

What do you want to say to all the people who are hearing your music for the first time?

Listen closely.

Appreciate the love on the videos and at the shows. Stay tuned.
