Biography
Da' T.R.U.T.H., who goes by "Manny" in his family, first got into music as a teenager, listening to
contemporary Christian music and becoming a talented drummer. He said, "I had no interest in rap music. As a matter of fact, I was disenchanted with the whole idea of rap." However, Da' T.R.U.T.H. soon discovered his gift of free-styling, co-founded the group NIV, and gained his new nickname at the age of 19 to minister "da truth" to the urban culture.
Da' T.R.U.T.H. is a graduate of Philadelphia Biblical University and the Institute of Jewish Studies.
Recordings and albums
Da Truth's first recording was the EP,
Who Is The Truth (2003). Even before the 2004 release of his first album, he enjoyed a record-breaking eighteen month stint at #1 on
MP3.com’s Christian hip hop chart. That acclaim, coupled with his standout appearances on
Out of Eden’s "Spirit Moves Remix" and

Moment of Truth. He quickly returned with a follow up called,
The Faith in 2005.
Currently, he's featured on two top-10 singles of the Radio and Records (R&R) Christian Rhythmic Chart — label-mates
The Ambassador's "Feels Good" (#2) and
FLAME's "L.A.D.I.E.S." (#4). He is a featured artist in, the urban Christian film produced and edited by Christopher "Play" Martin released on
Maverick Entertainment Group’s
Spirit label in 2006.
The Faith won a 2007
Stellar Award in the "Rap/Hip Hop Gospel CD of the Year" category.
BET, "Lift Every Voice",
INSP's "Steelroots", "Mixx Master's Lounge",
Word Network's "Bobby Jones Gospel",

New Man magazine, and
