Noble Truth performs "Jungle VIP"

Buffalo’s hip-hop scene might not get as much notice as the NYC scene, but it certainly produces capable and exceedingly talented artists. Noble Truth is proof of that. This up-and-coming musician, also known as Chae Hawk, draws upon his experiences growing up in Buffalo as well as his interests in rock, punk and indie music to create a unique style of hip-hop that’s accessible to a wide range of audiences. Judging by the fact that he’s only 22 and is releasing his third independent album, Little Blood, More Sweat, Few Tears, he’s found a formula that works. Check out Noble Truth along with his DJ Dstar at the CD-release party for this latest album, aptly dubbed “Winter Warz” since the original release party was postponed by the freak October blizzard.
