“I listen to everything. I’m always listening to some Lil’ Boosie, Wale, Marilyn Manson, Christina Aguilera, Hank Williams, Jr., Shooter Jennings — a wide range of music.”

On his music

He said that his rap music is special and peculiar. He added that his music is inspiring and full of positivity. He said that he wants to inspire people, build hope and make them believe through his music.

He said that he is totally different from the character that he plays. R-Truth is a different person from Ron Killings. He added that Truth is always in a mood and he is the go-to person when your are down and low. 

“R-Truth and Ron Killings are two different people. You rarely will see R-Truth showing anything. He’s always in that mood. He’s the guy you want to see when you’re going through something because he’s in that mood and has something good to tell you.”
