The Truth

Young Sid, the charismatic member of Smashproof along with Tyree and Deach, presents with this album, an intrepid journey into the world of modern-day South Auckland, a world where there are no rules except survival by any means necessary.

With an outstanding work ethic and dedication to perfecting his craft, The Truth is the product of Young Sid’s visit to New York City in 2006 - the home of Hip-Hop - where he recorded with famed hip-hop producer Cochise (Remy Ma, Beatnuts) and learnt to hone his craft with such perfection, that upon his return to New Zealand, he is quickly becoming revered amongst his local peers by gracing a wide range of local mix CD projects and singles - including both Juse and Tyree’s albums, DJ Sir-Vere’s Major Flavours Australian video/title track ‘Turn It Up’, and the all-star line up on PNC’s ‘Who Better Than…’ remix, in which Young Sid matches the performances of his fellow MCs, and stood out as the only artist without a full length release on the shelves.

Make no mistake, with a barrage of life experiences and a lyrical prowess, Young Sid is a force to be reckoned with, and one that will provide perhaps the most relevant social commentary New Zealand music has ever heard and a work ethic unparalleled; Young Sid is The Truth.
