Sorry I’m Late – Tru3 Gong
(Released September 1, 2025)
“Sorry I’m Late” is Tru3 Gong’s thunderous anthem of resilience, rebirth, and unapologetic arrival. Written from the crossroads of struggle and triumph, the song transforms the weight of oppression into fuel for ascension. With pulsing chants of “True Gong, True Gong,” the track announces not just an entrance—but a reclamation.
The lyrics carry the voice of someone once shackled, silenced, and underestimated. Lines like “Oppressors tried to silence me, blind me from the light / But I broke those chains, now I rise to new heights” speak to breaking free from systemic and spiritual chains. The song flips the cliché “jack of all trades, master of none” into a declaration of strength, reframing versatility as destiny.
Musically, “Sorry I’m Late” is a battle cry in motion—Tru3 Gong’s signature Afrofuturistic rhythm merges call-and-response chants, booming percussion, and lyrical fire. The recurring phrase “I’ve arrived, second gear, this journey’s just begun!” captures the essence of leveling up, echoing both anime-inspired power-ups and the Yoruba spirit of transformation.
This track isn’t just an apology—it’s a proclamation: a declaration that being “late” was never weakness, but preparation. By the time the chorus erupts with “Manifest Your Destiny, Move Mountains, Tru3 Gong”, the listener is pulled into a movement bigger than music.
“Sorry I’m Late” is for anyone who has ever been counted out, silenced, or underestimated. It’s a bold reminder that arrival is not about timing—it’s about truth, power, and unstoppable forward motion.
Ẹṣu-Odara – Tru3 Gong
(Released September 1, 2025)
“Ẹṣu-Odara” is not just a song—it’s an invocation at the crossroads. In this electrifying track, Tru3 Gong channels the timeless energy of Ẹṣu, the Yoruba Orisha of communication, balance, and transformation. With booming chants, playful rhythms, and hypnotic refrains, the track embodies the dual nature of the divine trickster: the one who opens paths, delivers messages, and tests our choices.
The opening scat—“Da-da-dum, Tru3 Gong, Ba-ba-boom, Tru3 Gong”—immediately sets the tone: ritualistic, anthemic, and communal. From there, the lyrics weave a mythic tapestry, calling back to the earliest stories where Ẹṣu’s name was on every tongue. His laughter, his cunning, and his mastery of paradox are honored in verses that remind us that every decision, every step, is a dialogue with destiny.
Musically, “Ẹṣu-Odara” pulses with Tru3 Gong’s signature Afrofuturistic soundscape—a fusion of call-and-response, ancestral chants, and booming modern percussion. The repetition of “Ẹṣu-Odara, trickster and guide, at the crossroads where paths divide” works like a mantra, pulling listeners into the rhythm of fate itself.
But the song doesn’t just retell ancient myth—it transforms it into a living ritual. By closing with the brand’s rallying cry—“Manifest Your Destiny, Move Mountains, Tru3 Gong”—the track bridges sacred tradition and modern empowerment. It invites listeners to recognize that the crossroads are not just mythic places—they exist in every choice we make today.
“Ẹṣu-Odara” is a celebration, a warning, and a dance—a reminder that mystery, fate, and possibility all meet at the crossroad. With this release, Tru3 Gong proves again that music can be both medicine and movement, invocation and innovation.
Ifá – Divine Wisdom in Rhythm
“Ifá” is a musical invocation of ancient Yoruba wisdom, channeling the voice of Orunmila—the Orisha of wisdom, destiny, and guidance. With a hypnotic blend of Afrofuturistic beats, call-and-response chants, and soulful instrumentation, Tru3 Gong delivers a spiritual journey into self-discovery and ancestral memory. “Ifá” invites listeners to awaken their inner truth and realign with divine purpose.
