Trae The Truth - General
Artist: Trae The Truth
Producer: RockAway Productions
Album: Can't Ban Tha Truth
Label: EMPIRE
Houston is no longer as powerful a force in the hip-hop game as it was back in the mid-2000s, but Bun B, Paul Wall, and countless other brave souls have never stopped fighting to keep their city in the national spotlight. One of the most courageous Generals in H-town’s ranks, Trae Tha Truth leads his troops into battle on this new joint, one of two just-released singles off his forthcoming sixth studio album. Over Rockaway Productions’ epic, string-drenched boardwork, the veteran emcee launches a full-bore lyrical assault, peppering the enemy forces with aggressive boasts and reveling in his past triumphs: “I’m a survivor, ‘cause I survived everything that they told me would kill me / Plus I came from the bottom, a bona fide underdog, tell ‘em they gon’ have to feel me.” Day26 member Bryan Angel provides supporting fire in the form of smooth guest vocals, tying the record together with a memorable chorus. Trae’s emerged from this battle victorious, but will he win the war? We’ll have to wait till September 28, when his Can’t Ban Tha Truth LP hits online retailers and record stores everywhere.

With his distinctive gruff vocals and solidified street appeal, Trae is someone who will never be mistaken for anyone else. I'll always give him that.
And while I prefer Trae's music to sound more rooted in the underground, and less Day 26ish (sorry, Brian), this has slight crossover appeal (not in the radio sense). Side note: From what I have heard so far, Trae's new album is a monster.

i have to agree with u Z. Brian sounds out of place here. i think Tpain or nate dogg coulda been a better choice.

Trae's guttural intimidating growl in his voice is trademark, and he flows crazy over everything. One of my favourite H-Town rappers next to his cousin Z-Ro, and of course, Koopa.
Strictly street lyrics to a street artist. I was kinda feeling it, but not completely falling for it. |

trae the truth has been on the scene for a good minute.. minus the slander that the local radio station has laid upon his ass.. he keeps it trill and 100. holding it down for the original and the truth. even if he gets no radio play from the haters.. it makes his ass stronger.
R.I.P all the fallen soilders.. and the originator of this screwed up shit. anything else... just 5000 pounds of trash. |

Looks like it's unanimous (although frankly I'm not sure what OldDirtyG meant by "and the originator of this screwed up @*#$!. anything else... just 5000 pounds of trash.")
Trae makes the music he wants to make, and he's rightfully earned some respect for that. This is a little more radio ready than some may like - I'd place it in that Maino All of the Above category - it still comes hard, and I thought the hook was decent. If you didn't know it was by a Day 26 dude I bet you wouldn't think it sounded so out of place.

I like the contrast of Brian's vox & trae's grimey sound. I'm not a true fan of either but its cool.

I kind of see what everyone is saying Brian Angel doesn't sound great on this on with Trae. But its good to see Trae the Truth back.
