THA TRUTH TELLA BIOGRAPHY 

Born in 1984 in the Southern part of France (near Montpellier), Tha Truth Tella A.K.A. Jean Quesnel has been a beatmaker since 2003. Originally called More Faya, he was the beatmaker for a Liberian MC who was living in france: New Man. His first crew was called Tuff Dollars (New Man/C-Money/More Faya) and then became New Lane Incorporated (New Man/ More Faya). The crew’s music was a mix of african, european, and american urban music and only released very confidential songs and mixtapes.

When those crews ended, Truth continued to work on his productions and began to produce tracks for U.S. artists, as his hip-hop influences were mainly American. That’s how he made the first connections with Number 2, White Jesus and other Chicago artists such as Phillip Morris and J.White. Since the end of 2008, Tha Truth Tella is officially part of 6 Rings Entertainment and is more and more involved in the projects of the label.

He also works with other U.S., UK and French artists. With his own distinct style, he mixes old school, new school, dirty south, west coast, and east coast ... Influenced, among others, by movie soundtracks, asian culture and great U.S. producers such as Dr. Dre, The RZA, Timbaland, Lil Jon, and a lot more ...

Truth has always been linked to the english language, from his studies to the samples he uses, from his music to his trips. He is also particularly attached to his “Southside” as he likes to call it, and its lifestyle. Mix some country boy of France with US rap and add a pinch of madness, and you've got yourself a Truth Tella.
