Press Release

The word is out on Homo Rapper, Trudog’s new CD “Booty AIN’T GOT NO FACE.” Trudog, whose real name is Anthony Truly, is back with his first full-length CD and the closet will never be the same. Proclaiming his new joint the party CD of the year, Trudog brings more than his fair share to the SOIRE with this innovative CD which offers up-tempo hip-hop grooves, quirky stories and campy hooks. Trudog also throws in a gay pornstar, a drag Queen and straight rappers for good measure. He goes from gangsta to Diva during the 11 track experience, something you won’t get from mainstream rappers.

Trudog is also an activist. He is a facilitator for the Black Men’s Xchange in Harlem and has worked with Al Sharpton, Eric Adams and Kevin Powell. He recently attended a Fund Raiser in Chelsea for Bill Thompson, City Comptroller. Trudog says, “I want to use my CD to bring attention to the relationship between the city and aspiring artists. My record label is grassroots and it is getting tougher for artists at my level to be creative for profit. The city just passed legislation requiring artists to obtain a permit to shoot video in the city. That permit comes with a million dollar insurance policy. I think that law is grossly unfair to upcoming talent. The Administration’s harsh attitude toward night life in the city is stripping Manhattan of its diversity. In the 90’s there were over 3000 venues with cabaret licenses; now there are less than 300. I want to make NYC dance again. I recently got an offer to perform in Wyoming and I turned it down. If I want to go the mid-West, I’ll go to Times Square.”

Trudog scored his first underground hit the summer of 2004 with the release of his EP “THE NOTORIOUS HOMO THUG.” Booming in gay bars from the West Village to South Beach, “HOMO THUG” quickly became an anthem for the Down Low Phonenom. Trudog admits, “It took me three years to produce this CD because I wanted to take time out to develop as an artist. I didn’t want to release yet another rap CD laced with profanity.”
