050-HHK25Facts

UK online HHK Magazine (ex Hip Hop Kings) run a “25 facts” series in which artists provide information about their upcoming releases and their careers previously unknown to the public.

Latest to be published in this series is New Jersey hip hop trio 050 Boyz who release their debut official album “Everything 050” on 4th August, the follow up to their “050 Dat” mixtape released in 2013. The group – Riq da Kid, Tru Trilla and Prince AK – have been involved in the Garden State scene for the past couple of decades and have long time associate Clinton Place providing the entire production for the album.

They also have close ties with Treach (Naughty by Nature) and DoItAll (Lords of the Underground), both of whom feature on the album together with a healthy contribution from many other local Emcees. Together they all bring some fierce rhymes to the mix in what is a hi-octane release from start to finish.

050-StraightFresh

New Jersey hip hop trio 050 Boyz release their new album “Everything 050” on 4th August.

Produced by long time associate Clinton Place, it also features many of the best Garden State Emcees pitching the street side by side with established names such as Treach from Naughty by Nature and DoItAll from Lords of the Underground.

Prince AK, Riq da Kid and Tru Trilla have earned the medals in the local scene throughout the years whether as members of groups or with their solo careers, and were involved with the Garden State Greats movement devised by Treach and Fam of Rottin Razkals back in the day. With initial assistance from DoItAll, the group regenerated the concept of unifying and representing Jersey hip hop while forming in the past couple of years, and the nature of the album is testament to this aim

They sat down recently with US online Straight Fresh to chop it all up. They discussed their years in the game and working with some of the best known names to come from the area, their thoughts on hip hop, influences, Jersey hip hop, their aims with the new album and much more

New Jersey’s 050 Boyz release their new album “Everything 050” on 4th August.

Despite this being their debut album as a group, the trio are no novices to the world of hip hop. Prince AK began as hype man for Flavor Unit’s Supreme C before an acting course with Tracey Moore (50 Cent, Busta Rhymes & Eve) saw him swap the mic for tv and film roles for a number of years.

Riq da Kid and Tru Trilla and their respective groups at the time joined Garden State Greats in 2004, a collaborative movement formed by Treach (Naughty by Nature) and Fam (Rottin Razkals) to help unify and promote artists in New Jersey. Now operating as solo artists, the original 5 members came together again in 2012 to rekindle the spirit of GSG and formed 050 Boyz.

With the support of DoItAll (Lords of the Underground), they released the mixtape “050 Dat” in 2013 before evolving into the current line up and recording the new album which has been produced entirely by long standing associate Clinton Place (Kurupt, Yukmouth, Gillahouse)

From the album is the new single “Pay Them No Mind” featuring DoItAll and NJ vet Tha Advocate

050boyz-

New Jersey trio, Prince AK, Tru Trilla and Riq tha Kid, aka 050 Boyz, travelled a long and diverse road to form as a group in 2011.

With individual histories spanning back a couple of decades, the story of 050 Boyz who take their name from the NJ district code is one of careers intertwining at various stages throughout the years. Most notably as part of the Garden State Greats movement inspired by Treach (Naughty by Nature) & Fam (Rottin Razcals) in 2004, a concept which was re-generated by Lords of the Underground front man DoItAll some years later.

Added to the mix are tv & film acting careers, ongoing solo careers and now a banging new hip hop album produced entirely by Clinton Place (Yukmouth, Kurupt, DoItAll and Gillahouse’s Runt Dawg)

The full story is explained in the press release HERE but they also took time out recently to speak with local online tv channel Smash Block TV accompanied by Treach & DoItAll to explain more about the back story

They have already released the first video from the album for the joint “Get Back”

Look out for many new audio & video releases in the months ahead.
