NEW MUSIC | TRUEMENDOUS & TONY BONES RELEASE EP ‘NO ROUND OF APPLAUSE’

By Rishma • On What is New ,

No Round of Applause is a sharp, unfiltered EP from Birm­ing­ham rap­per True­Mend­ous and pro­du­cer Tony Bones, built on hon­esty rather than hype. Stripped back in tone but heavy in impact, the pro­ject centres on lived exper­i­ence, resi­li­ence, and the quiet grind that hap­pens long before recog­ni­tion ever arrives.

Across the EP, True­Mend­ous deliv­ers reflect­ive, socially con­scious lyr­i­cism with her trade­mark clar­ity and con­vic­tion, bal­an­cing vul­ner­ab­il­ity with strength. Tony Bones’ pro­duc­tion provides a moody, soul­ful back­bone, min­im­al where it needs to be and hard-hit­ting when it counts, allow­ing the stor­ies to sit front and centre.

There’s no chas­ing val­id­a­tion here. No Round of Applause speaks to those who keep going without praise, spot­light, or short­cuts. It’s a pro­ject rooted in integ­rity, com­munity, and self-belief, offer­ing a power­ful remind­er that not all wins come with noise, and not all suc­cess needs an audience.
