"Obie Trice is back, and for longtime fans, his latest track "TBH" feels like a welcome reminder of what made him such a compelling voice in the first place. Once one of the most promising artists on Eminem's Shady Records roster, Obie made waves with his 2003 debut Cheers, a record that cemented his reputation as a sharp lyricist with an ear for storytelling."
"Back then, Obie was positioned to be Shady Records' breakout act outside of Eminem himself. He had the co-sign, the production muscle of Aftermath, and a style that felt distinct within the label's roster. Cheers delivered fan favorites like "Got Some Teeth" and "The Set Up," earning commercial and critical recognition. But as the decade wore on, Obie struggled to replicate that momentum, eventually parting ways with Shady and continuing independently."
Obie Trice returns with 'TBH', reflecting on truth, media, and the state of the culture. The track reconnects him to the sharp storytelling and lyricism that defined his 2003 debut Cheers. Early career momentum included a co-sign from Eminem, Aftermath production support, and fan favorites like 'Got Some Teeth' and 'The Set Up'. Obie later parted ways with Shady Records and released material independently, with 2019's The Fifth as his most recent full-length album. 'TBH' uses production that channels early-2000s energy—raw, slightly stripped-down, and bouncy—creating space for clear, words-first verses that emphasize narrative content.
