Rapper TU F4 Brings Hustler's Mentality

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Independent rapper and military veteran TU F4 releases his latest single, "Hesitation," a bold track that speaks to life's turning points, personal resilience, and the drive to keep pushing forward. Out now on all streaming platforms, the single marks another powerful step in TU's evolution as a hip-hop artist with a story that's as real as his lyrics.

Produced with TU's signature blend of soulful beats and sharp lyricism, "Hesitation" dives into themes of decision-making under pressure, a familiar space for a rapper who's also a Purple Heart recipient and former battle rap contender.
"This one is for people who feel the pressure of having to make the right move, whether it's with money, life, or loyalty," says TU. "I've lived that. Every bar comes from experience."

TU's unique perspective stems from years of service in the military, where he survived an IED explosion while deployed in Afghanistan. After returning home, he found healing through music, sharpening his pen in New York's underground battle rap scene. His sound has been influenced by Southern legends like Pimp C and Big Krit, yet it stands firmly on its own, grown, gritty, and grounded in truth.

The Birmingham native recently opened for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Big Boogie, drawing praise for his commanding stage presence and lyrical clarity. His music has been featured on Pressure23 iHeart Radio, and he also made his acting debut in the Tubi movie Heir Wars.
His upcoming single "2 Poccets" set to drop April 22nd, 2025 continues his narrative of hustle and legacy with a sound that's both southern rooted and focused on the future.
