TRU (an abbreviation of The Real Untouchables) was an American hip hop group from New Orleans, Louisiana,[1] active from 1989 to 2005.[1] Between 1992 and 1997 the band dwindled from a dozen members to just the main three brothers, Master P, C-Murder, and Silkk the Shocker.

The group released six albums, incorporating the typical No Limit formula of G-funk rhythms married to hardcore gangsta lyrics.[2]
