Central Texas hip-hop has a new voice rising with purpose, and his name is Torrell Deshawn. The Killeen-based rapper returns with a powerful new single titled “Get It Together”, a raw and reflective track that highlights his trademark style of positive reality rap; music that doesn’t just hit hard, but hits home.
Released under Out The Struggle Entertainment, “Get It Together” is produced by MCDaveID, a frequent collaborator in the Texas underground scene known for blending hard those Texas flavored hard hitting rhythms with street-rooted percussion. The single is engineered by Gutta Gadafi, whose crisp mixing elevates Deshawn’s grounded yet impassioned vocal delivery. As we all know, everything coming outta the Lone Star State sets the tone for the rest of the globe to follow, and Torrell Deshawn has it on lock; Yessir Already!!!!
A Voice from the Trenches
Torrell Deshawn isn’t just another independent artist chasing clout. His music is anchored in lived experience, addressing perseverance, fatherhood, injustice, and mental struggle themes that too often go untouched in mainstream rap. His lyrics read like journal entries from someone who’s endured pain, found lessons in it, and come back to share the blueprint.
“Get It Together is about waking up,” Deshawn shared on Instagram ahead of the release. “Sometimes we’re stuck in survival mode so long, we forget there’s another level. This one’s for anybody who knows they got more in ’em.”
Consistency with a Message
The new single follows Deshawn’s last release, “Gone Survive” featuring TTOD Bumpy Johnson, a stirring collaboration that dropped earlier this year. That track was produced by mixatheproducer and engineered by rising engineer @yea_joshh. “Gone Survive” introduced more fans to Torrell’s authentic tone, part hopeful, part hard-earned, and all heart.
Together, these two singles show a clear artistic trajectory: Deshawn isn’t chasing trends, he’s crafting truth.
The Out The Struggle Movement
Torrell Deshawn represents more than just himself. His label, Out The Struggle Entertainment, carries a mission embedded in its name. It serves as a platform for artists with stories rooted in resilience and empowerment. The label is helping to build a unique hip-hop identity for Killeen, and one that’s proud, lyrical, and rooted in lived reality rather than fantasy.
While mainstream eyes often skip over Texas cities outside of Houston or Dallas, Killeen’s scene is slowly earning attention through grassroots hustle, community backing, and artists like Deshawn who stay authentic in their lane.

“Get It Together” is now streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. For fans of thoughtful, reality-driven hip-hop, Torrell Deshawn offers something real, reflective, and urgently necessary.
