C-Murder's Tru Dawgs is more of a compilation showcasing the gumbo pot bubbling with big-name rappers, Snoop Dogg, Master P and Da Brat, to name a few. C-Murder's presence gets lost in the mix up against Snoop Dogg's "Dogged Her Out" and Keith Murray's "Just Like That," together with the many, other collaborations. On the first track, "I'm a Baller," featuring C-Murder, Mac, T-Bo & XL, that New Orleans funk starts to bounce this album along the I-95 South nicely. But C-Murder is fighting for recognition on his own album. "Betya" is the only track he handles by himself, where he clearly disses ex-No Limit rapper Mystikal. On "How A Thug N**** Likes it," he limits his vocal contributions by sparring alongside Da Brat & J.D. and in the intro of "Respect My Mind" featuring T-Bo & Malachi, he does try to prove his innocence from being accused of murder via a spoken-word poetic onslaught. But for the most part, this album is all about him hanging out with the dawgs with just a little taste of his Creole recipe.
