Music: Tru Mantra – Chasing the Wrong Thing

 Lanre Abiose and Tony Okwechime make up the Southern California-based music duo known as Tru Mantra. The group’s unique blend of Afro hip hop delivered amid myriad nuances communicates clearly their Christian worldview and draws richly from the influence of their formative years spent growing up in Lagos, Nigeria.

The group’s mission statement – Light music in a dark world – is driven by a desire to evoke thought while delivering music that cuts across demographics and genres.

Whether delivering rap punch lines, weaving lyrically between the swaying melodies of an Afrobeat bass line or singing the hook on a hip hop track, Tru Mantra will inspire while being fun…the kind that you don’t have to leave your mind and soul behind to indulge in.
