Timeless Truth, brothers Aramis (OPrime39) and Joel (Solace) Rodriguez (28 and 25 years old respectively) were born in Corona, Queens to Dominican parents. Growing up there was only Spanish spoken in the family home. No one helped them with their assignments from school, in fact it was more likely that older brother Joel would help his folks with their broken English. The brothers'earliest exposure to flava was the Pine Sol joints heard on the radio while their mom was cleaning the house - dope 'ballad break' artists like Los Angeles Negros and Sandro (Herring's personal favourite influences!!). Their culture was most definitely Dominican. The food, the customs, the music and the particular form of Spanish related precisely to their heritage - Washington Heights over in Manhattan had a strong Dominican identity - and Corona represented Queens. The Rodriguez's moved to Flushing when their dad got the job of super (caretaker) of an apartment building over there. The job of super seemed to be an exclusively Dominican trade back then and the boys' father took them to work with him when they were old and responsible enough. It was their father who instilled in them the importance of hard work and dilligence, something they proudly bring with them to their art.
