At just 19 years of age, the South African West Coast is hit with a dynamic conscious sound. Tha Real U, a former "bedroom" DJ (and less frequently a young poet), took a change in music interest and persued his earlier dream of rapping. Freestyling random stuff since age 10, Real U challenged himself to write lyrics and break into the undeground as a Hip-Hop artist after he discovered the talents of rappers Lecrae, Andy Mineo, Trip Lee, Mouthpi3ce & Bizzle. His inspiration is the Lord. His aim in music is spitting truth with a style best described as 'Consciousness & Controversy'. Since his younger age, Real U's motto was "imagine it today, life it tomorrow" - and he clearly states that his not in it for the fame, but one way or another try to bring glory to the Lord's name. His style is often direct or descriptional, with either a fast variable flow, a constent one with an trick in wordplay or a radical style considered to be "no flow" where he speaks a message straight up in poetic form.

Lyrics
[Intro] God, just praise him... God, just praise him... [Verse 1: Lil Stewy] (Yeah) Going in with humbleness So you can know what's on my mind Cause today I'm shooting high Michael Jordan in the mind Yeah Lemme draw a picture And go Picasso on the beat Please take a second Just relax and take a seat Glory be to God Reaching out for understanding On my bended knees In my weakness I'm still praying Praising Reaching out for His Glory And the promise that He made me He made me I dream about a day when chasing money Is the last thing on my mind When I'm on stage, take the mic and let it shine Like the time is right here, the day is right here I pray that God's immaculate plan becomes (mine) Perfect in my imperfection Yes I'm praising His name, knowing that I am His selection By His Word, and His Spirit, and His blood And the Grace of God Just praise Him and you will go far [Hook] The dark nights and coldness that follows I can't help but think about tomorrow When the limelight shine on me And I Get my chance to break free The dark nights and coldness that follows I can't help but think about tomorrow When the limelight shine on me And I Get my chance to break free [Verse Two: Tha Real U] (It's Real) My life is just a question When I'm low on ambition I'm stuck in a world Of romantic fiction I pray for blessings Cause without them I'm nothing And if you ask for something Please remember all my loving A morbid collection of adjectives An audible selection That makes Hip-Hop A lyrical suggestion I'm sickened by the fact that I ain't them But I'm glad in myself Cause I'm sincere Dear brethren Truthfully My honesty compels me The Lord surely made me Molded me and shaped me I guess I'm deep But my depth is hidden in sorrow So now I'm all alone In the time that we borrow From That I'm Dreaming Through all those Long Nights I'ma Underground King If I remain in this fight Let's take flight Up to the sky Keep giving it another try Till we die I will spit No lie [Hook] The dark nights and coldness that follows I can't help but think about tomorrow When the limelight shine on me And I Get my chance to break free The dark nights and coldness that follows I can't help but think about tomorrow When the limelight shine on me And I Get my chance to break free [Verse 3: The Essence] (Essence) See the story is Not in the game for fame No need to know my name Music just frees the pain So it's not all in vain Sometimes I go insane Sometimes I feel so blessed Heart beating through my chest It's time to break free Some people strive for the money Some people strive for the love While I just strive for the blessings Yeah blessings sent from above Sometimes I'm free like a dove Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped So I resort to rap It's time to break free (Yeah) but I'm a God fearing man And I think God has a plan And it's written in the sand If you're with me hold my hand So raise your head to the sky Descend your knees to the ground Ya kings and queens wear the crown Pick yourself up when you fall down Success is key And the key to success Is to never try less than your best (Than your best) Yeah go harder and go further Raise your prayers to the Father And you will see You're better than the rest (Rest) [Hook] The dark nights and coldness that follows I can't help but think about tomorrow When the limelight shine on me And I Get my chance to break free The dark nights and coldness that follows I can't help but think about tomorrow When the limelight shine on me And I Get my chance to break free
