TRU (The Real Untouchables) was an American hip hop group from Richmond to New Orleans, which originally consisted of Master P, C-Murder, Silkk the Shocker, King George, Big Ed, Cali G, Sonya C, Chilee Powdah and Milkman, before being shortened to just Master P, C-Murder and Silkk the Shocker. The group's first two releases, 1992's Understanding the Criminal Mind and 1993's Who's Da Killer?, were released independently through In-a-minute Records. In 1995, the group was shortened to include just the three Miller brothers and the trio released their third album True on No Limit Records, which was just getting started. It was followed by TRU 2 Da Game in 1997. In Silkk The Shocker's Charge It 2 Da Game it was revealed that a new TRU album was coming soon titled "Tru Niggaz". However, that album was never mentioned again and Da Crime Family was released in 1999. However by 2003 No Limit had fallen on hard times and was shut down. TRU returned in 2004 on Koch Records, released their sixth and final album, The Truth.
