TU TREAL, Born David Turner in 1987 in Hattiesburg Mississippi, one of the roughest neighborhoods in Hattiesburg growing up around a whole lot of gang activities and drug environment ..Treal moved from Mississippi at around the age of 10 or 11 due to his father joining the military Treal was able to move around from state to state and see a different part of the world that he wasn’t used too.
TU TREAL started trying too rap at the age of 11 but he didn’t know that he had to rhyme, so all his songs didn’t rhyme so he would rap the songs to ppl and they would laugh and told him to give it up ,but giving up wasn’t something Treal believed in even as a child he knew he was different and gifted. TU TREAL wrote his first song at age of 11 it was called “Platinum Thangs” it kind of had a Cash Money Hot Boys feel to it Treal was writing the song in History Class When his teacher made him rap in front of the whole class since he wanted to not pay attention and write raps in class .The teacher liked the song and gave Treal Teddy Riley’s Address To his studio.The teacher passed this studio going home everyday so he told Treal to send his music there and Treal didn’t Hesitate He recorded on his karaoke machine and sent his cassette tape to Future Records Recording Studio Then later got a call from an assistant of Teddy Riley’s Name KENNY QUILLER telling Treals Mother that Teddy wanted to meet her son , Treal didn’t get to go meet Teddy because Of his behavior in school, so first opportunity he had didn’t play out
.But that didn’t stop the young artist from still striving he wasn’t the average kid he was destined to be a rapper, everywhere he went and everybody in school knew him from rapping .Treal had binders full of lyrics and songs from age 13 until he was 18, at age 18 Tu Treal Recorded His first Album “Bottom Of The Map” and posted it on Myspace it quickly took a liking to alot of ppl even ending up in RUSSEL SIMMONS Top 8 and getting a call from JOHNNIE CABBELL rapper Shawty Lo’s manager about his music and wanting to work with him, But at the time Treal had this other opportunity so it was like this or that, he didn’t make the right choice so he didn’t end up working with Johnnie Cabbell instead he went on this Tour that he thought was going to bring more labels and opportunities his way but instead it was all bad!, the tour wasn’t what he imagined it to be, so Tu Treal moved down to Georgia when he was 20 starting over but having 2 kids to take care of now kind of forced him to put the music too the side so he took a couple years off and eventually invested in a home studio thats when he would record almost none stop and posting and sharing his music online up until now .
