Off A Cliff Leads Truth303's Lo-Fi and Feels 2 on Spotify, While Illusion Finds Its Crowd on YouTube
An American Hip Hop Album Built for Listeners Who Arrived One Single at a Time
Off A Cliff is the most played of the 11 songs on Lo-Fi and Feels 2, an album of lo-fi hip hop, with 28,834 Spotify plays by 8 November. Illusion, the only track that had not been out before, sits at 1,803. Truth303, a hip hop artist from Las Vegas, United States, released the album on 6 October 2026 through Free Agent Music.
Truth303 has Illusion in our Hip-Hop, Rap, Trap playlist below, and his artist profile gathers every article on him. Lo-Fi and Feels 2 came to this desk through PopHits.Co Music Charts, which verifies independent artists and places their releases across its network of music news titles. Press play on the playlist, then read on for who the album is finding.
Who Lo-Fi and Feels 2 Is For, From Truth303’s Singles Listeners to Lo-Fi Hip Hop Playlists
The ranking starts with the people who were already listening. Five of the songs came out as singles before the album. They are The Hours Getting Late, Off A Cliff, Floating Away with Kevin Bessey, Drowning and What Are You Waiting For?. Older singles fill most of the remaining places. So the album serves two groups at once. One followed the singles as they arrived. The other wants the whole run in one sitting.
The words, printed in full on Spotify, explain who stays. Illusion turns down the underdog label and any contest with rivals, and chases blue skies instead. Meanwhile, Take Me Back misses the way things used to be. One Day goes back to a childhood dream of being free. Then What Are You Waiting For? talks straight to someone whose life does not feel blessed.
That makes it a record for listeners who treat hip hop as a diary rather than a contest. The American artist’s own Spotify bio promises real emotion and real thoughts on whatever topic he takes on. It also says no two Truth projects sound the same. The album suits playlist curators too, because the songs stay short. Only the opener passes four minutes, at 4:20, and the closer runs 2:39.
How Listeners Answered the Album on Spotify and YouTube in Its First Month
The response so far reads like a chart of its own. After Off A Cliff, the order by Spotify plays runs Drowning (14,914), Floating Away (10,586) and The Hours Getting Late (7,157). Nice To Meet You and What Are You Waiting For? sit close together, at 4,771 and 4,671.
Seven of the 11 tracks already carry a Spotify count, which the platform shows only once a track passes 1,000 plays. Across his catalogue, Truth303 draws 21,114 monthly listeners on the platform.
Illusion tells a different story on YouTube. Its video went up on 9 October and passed 149,000 views within a month, far ahead of its Spotify tally. His channel there also has about 13,900 subscribers. For Illusion, then, the first audience is watching rather than streaming.
The pattern has a well-known precedent. Russ released a song every week on SoundCloud for almost three years. Eventually, two of those songs, What They Want and Losin Control, reached the Billboard Hot 100. A steady run of singles lets an audience pick its own favourites, and the counts above show Truth303’s listeners doing the same.
The Community Around Truth303 and Lo-Fi and Feels 2, From Truth Tuesday to Kevin Bessey
Then there is the crowd around the songs. Truth303 opens many Instagram posts with a greeting to his crew, and 4,581 people follow him there. Tuesday is his weekly slot for new music, saved under a Truth Tuesdays highlight on his profile. After the release, he went through the album there one track a day. For example, day seven went to A Song About Us, and day nine to Take Me Back.
Still, the circle on the record itself is small. Bessey, a Nevada songwriter, appears on the opener, Floating Away, and again on Nice To Meet You. His own latest album, Flows, is a collaboration record made with artists from his home city. On Illusion, Truth303, credited as Anthony Chavez, wrote the song, Owen Pieper produced it and Nik “Ink Well” Hotchkiss engineered it.
The business side keeps the songs close to him as well. The album carries the Free Agent Music name, while the recordings stay his own, licensed to Warner Music.
Tech N9ne shows how far that kind of loyalty can go. In 1999 he and his business partner, Travis O’Guin, founded Strange Music, and he has sold over two million albums to fans he calls technicians. Truth303 works on a smaller scale, but the method is similar: give the audience a name, a day and a reason to come back.
Where to Start, and What to Play Next
Start with Off A Cliff, the song most listeners have already chosen. Then play Illusion, the song with the most room to climb. Finally, anyone who likes the guest spots should play the two Bessey tracks back to back.
From the BestMusic.News curator team: “We put Illusion in our hip-hop playlist to give it a push. Of the seven tracks with a Spotify count, it has the smallest, and a playlist slot is how that changes.”
Check the counts again in a month. The order will have moved by then, and Illusion is the entry to watch.
