Tru Story
Louisiana-based R&B singer/rapper Dillyn Troy first received attention as a social media star, using the video app Vine to both showcase his musical endeavors as well as his perspectives on life. Still just a teenager when he began making music, Troy made solo tracks of moody, trap-heavy R&B/rap hybrids as well as collaborating with Will Got the Juice and Lucas Coly in a group called Diamondz. He graduated from self-released one-off tracks like 2013's "In the Air" to more defined production on albums like 2017's Tru Story.

Dillyn Troy was born in Louisiana in 1996 and was making music by his teenage years. Highly active on social media, he used short video clips on Vine to promote both his solo music as well as his collaborative work with the group Diamondz. Some of his earliest self-released tracks came around 2013 when he was sometimes working under the name Lil Teezy. Rough-edged singles like "Grind Time" and "Crazy" eventually developed into more fully fleshed-out productions like the 2017 full-length album Tru Story and 2018 singles "On Me" and "I Know." He kept the new music coming in the spring of 2018 with an EP entitled Progress. The song "They Can't" from Progress featured guest vocals from Troy's longtime friend and collaborator Lucas Coly
