City Of Houston Declares July 22nd, Trae Day

For all of the controversy and negative imagery attached to the rap music world, its artists often do much to give back to their communities and show support for the young people coming up behind them. One such artist is Houston’s Trae tha Truth, and, in honor of his outstanding work within the community, the City of Houston is honoring Trae with his own day; the first time this honor has been extended to a rap artist. Henceforth, July 22nd will be known as Trae Day. Houston’s Mayor, Bill White, will read the proclamation honoring Trae at 2PM on that day and City officials and several prominent rap artists will attend the ceremony.

Currently a free agent as an artist, having left the Rap-A-Lot stable to pursue other options, Trae is also very active musically. He and fellow ABN group member Z-Ro are releasing their new album “It Is Wt t Is” July 15th. He also has a critically acclaimed mixtape in circulation, The Diary of Tha Truth, a song with Slim Thug (Nothing to a Boss) and a single featuring DJ Khaled (So Hot), covering him both in the streets and on the radio. In the course of his music career, Trae has scanned well over 200,000 units both as a solo artist and as a member of ABN Gang, without the benefit of major promotion.
