Truth Ugly is a savage capture of chaos and rap overlapping. A three headed attack on the senses, and seamless melting of what makes doseone, Fatboi Sharif, and steel tipped dove exactly disgusting.

TRUTH UGLY began the moment dose and sharif spoke, on the phone in 2024, and quickly took form as the two recorded amidst dose & dove’s final in person sessions for “All Portrait No Chorus” released in 2025. “Vietnam Ghosts” was born first in a blaze of laughter and freestyle faced hours at dove’s. The two jersey genesis menaces to normative rap found a chemistry for their shared singularity immediately and everything exploded from there. 

dose went home to New Mexico, with a handful of bizarre source sessions dove recorded. Then dose bent them into whatever they were meant to be. dove then integrated the two halves of inspired unpredictable production into their ugly awesome current forms.

The three friends proceeded to destroy the album in swaths together across several recording sessions in Brooklyn. This record, the process, the purpose, is all lighting in a bottle…A thrashing collaborative stab at something visceral and imaginative, fucked up and phenomenal.

The aesthetic, initiative and artifacts are brought to you by two independent labels moving as one Fused Arrow Records and Handsmade.

Dance to the music being played...

Wow. Another year has passed, and objectively things have only worsened. Inflation is out of control, we're at war with Iran, and our president is making billions under the table and off the backs of everyday Americans.

Luckily for us, dose and Height are back with another dispatch from the great unraveling. Equal parts coping mechanism, fever dream, and field report, the duo once again transforms mounting dread into something exhilarating. This country may be coming apart at the seams, but at least we have a soundtrack that dances to the destruction.

A story about a man named Raymond K. Hessel...

"One of hip-hop’s more fascinating character studies, Raymond revels in its tight focus and interiority, an album that claims that it’s the moments in between our life defining highs and lows that truly define us." Son Raw Passion of the Weiss

Written & Directed by Tokyo Cigar X Produced by August Fanon
