Blood Raw – My Life The True Testimony – Double Vinyl Record
My Life: The True Testimony is the debut studio album by American rapper Blood Raw, released on June 17, 2008. Blood Raw, born Bruce Falson, hails from Panama City, Florida, and gained prominence as a member of Young Jeezy’s rap group, USDA (United Streets Dopeboyz of America). This album marks Blood Raw’s foray into a solo career, showcasing his storytelling abilities and street-smart lyricism.
Before embarking on his solo journey, Blood Raw was part of USDA, contributing to their 2007 album ‘Cold Summer,’ which was well-received within the hip-hop community. His affiliation with Young Jeezy’s Corporate Thugz Entertainment (CTE) provided a platform for his debut solo project.
My Life: The True Testimony blends typical Southern rap themes of hustling, success, and street life with more introspective and personal narratives. Blood Raw’s lyrical content often reflects his experiences growing up in Florida, his encounters with the law, and his journey towards making a name in the rap industry. The production features the signature Southern beats, with heavy bass, melodic hooks, and a mix of both club anthems and reflective tracks.
The album received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Blood Raw’s storytelling and authenticity but noted that it followed familiar Southern rap formulas. Despite this, ‘My Life: The True Testimony’ resonated with fans of the genre, appreciating the raw and honest depiction of Blood Raw’s life and struggles.
This debut album was significant for Blood Raw as it established him as a solo artist in the hip-hop scene, separate from his work with USDA. The album’s release through Def Jam Recordings and CTE World also highlighted the support and endorsement from established names in the industry, like Young Jeezy.

Featuring collaborations with artists like Young Jeezy and Mannie Fresh, the album delves into themes of street life, personal struggles, and success.
