Trae The Truth - I'm On
Artist: Trae The Truth
Featuring: Lupe Fiasco , Big Boi , Wale , Wiz Khalifa
Producer: Cy Fyre
Album: Street King
Label: EMPIRE
As the self-proclaimed Street King, Trae the Truth must roll with an appropriately dope retinue, right? Indubitably; and if you don’t believe me, a listen to the his latest buzz record should suffice to set you straight. I’m On finds the Houston mainstay and a few of his most talented courtiers gathering to share their experiences on the hustle. First to flow over Cy Fyre‘s driving rhythm section and understated sample work, Chitown mainstay Lupe Fiasco drops an opening verse packed with automotive metaphors before passing the mic to the headliner for some of his trademark near-whispered hood talk. After Trae’s contribution, Big Boi showcases his skills as an unintentional motivational speaker, Wale does his damndest to prove that one can indeed serve both God and Mammon (“I’m in love with my God, that’s in love with this money.”), and Wiz Khalifa busts out his most relentless flows on a high-rolling closing 16. Complete with the smooth chorus vocals of MDMA, this joint is the hip-hop equivalent of a royal flush—or is Trae’s hand missing a card or two? You decide. Readers who agree with my assessment should be sure to cop Trae’s sixth album when it drops next Tuesday, July 12.

 Usually these records are a "quality is better than quantity" situation, but Trae's friends are all in high places haha. Speaks volumes the respect they have for him as an emcee and underground mainstay.

Good song. Could have been better with less features. The beat doesn't real suit all the artists either.

Not great, and I still can't understand how Trae gets these features to cosign him. Not a hater at all, but he is mediocre at best.

Love the beat. Lupe killed it (as usual). Trae did nice, but his voice doesn't go well with the beat in my mind. Big Boi had a strong verse, but I think Andre 3stacks might of done an even better job. Wale murdered it. Wiz actually did a better job than I expected. I like this track a lot, but I would of liked to see J. Cole hop on this. The beat seems right for J. Cole and so does the context of the song. All in all, this is a banger and imma keep playing it for a while.

Every artists delivers asolid peformance on this laid back beat, Even Wiz has energy to deliver a fire verse, favourites would have to be Lupe & Big Boi.

Good track, but the truth is Trae's voice is the only one that seems to not be made for this song. It sounds very out of place. Everyone else lays it slick. And damn it was nice to hear Wiz murder again. Lupe is lyrically dope as always. Wale sounds like... well, Wale. Everything was tight. In rotation.

Solid boardwork from Missy and Lamb. Monica's vocals are on point and Rozay gives it that "umph"...Lil Kim....try again. Definitely radio ready.

While im a bigger fan of Lupe than any of these artists I have to rate the verses objectively,
Big Boi -> Wiz -> Lupe -> Wale -> Trae |

This is dope! Beat is so chilled, the chorus reminds me of some 90's R&B singer and the line up is ridiculous! Lupe killed this and Trae really suited this beat. Wiz did his thing on the back end. I'll be bumping this for a while...4.5

Productions on point here with it's minimalist, relaxed vibe. MDMA's vocals are a nice touch an a lot less commercial than anything you might have heard from him on LASERS. Lupe's verse is pretty good and Big Boi brings some great energy to the track. Trae, Wale and Wiz's verses are all decent enough but hardly memorable. Trae's voice is certainly distinct an in a good way.
All the rappers in this track went in HARD, its hard to chose one over the other. |

love the track. not a Wiz fan at all but he had a pretty good verse. i think Big Boi rode the track the hardest. i could've seen someone like a T.I. or Slim Thug on this track as well. Trae has been dope for awhile, not his best verse but i will get the album

Usually tracks with this many MCs on it dont work, but this one does. Did anyone notice that Wiz stepped up his game CONSIDERABLY on this one? I feel like he goes in when hes up against some good MCs

Now this is was i' talking about! When everyone steps out of the industry spotlight they can find their tone and really go hard on the mic, which this is really referring to wiz, he finally back on his shit again.

I don't think I've heard a Trae song I just don't like at all... Back in the ABN days were the illest tho. This reminds me of why he's on so many playlists of mine and possibly my favorite rapper. Everyone one this jam was ill on their own. Combined has this song on repeat for me...
