The Truest Shit I Ever Said marks the fifth solo studio release by American rapper C-Murder, officially launched on March 22, 2005, through TRU Records and Koch Records. This album was uniquely recorded during prison visitation hours using a handheld recorder supplied by his attorney. It opens with an intro featuring interview excerpts discussing his imprisonment.

Background

The album's closing track pays tribute to the late rapper Soulja Slim, who was killed two years earlier; Slim is also featured on the song "Holla at Me." Fellow incarcerated artist Mac appears on "Camouflage & Murder," a track produced by Donald XL Robertson and recorded while Mac was serving a murder sentence. The song "Won't Let Me Out" is a remix of Akon's popular single "Locked Up." The project achieved moderate commercial performance, propelled by the lead single "My Life" and the successful track "Y'all Heard of Me," which includes a guest verse from fellow New Orleans rapper B.G..

Critical reception

Dan Frosch of Vibe commended C-Murder for delivering authentic Southern gangsta rap characterized by memorable beats and vivid street storytelling, acknowledging that despite occasional rawness, the album effectively captures the essence of Louisiana's urban environment. Matt Jost from RapReviews regarded it as potentially C-Murder's strongest work to date, despite some musical imperfections, emphasizing its diverse themes and the depth provided by the artist's incarceration experience.
