well, this is cool. dizzee rascal is nowhere near houston, but the british grime rapper enlisted some of h-town’s finest, as well as a-trak behind the boards, to put out his own ode to our wonderful hometown.
listen above.

trae the truth does houston a big ol’ solid and throws everyone who means something (except kirko, sans scarface) in the houston rap explosion onto a track together. “i’m from texas” is loud and proud, and we now have a music video.
all credits on the track: trae, bun b, slim thug, paul wall, kirko bangz & z-ro.

rumors swirled, but it’s now official. the hometown’s (houston, of course) OTHER underground king inks a deal with t.i. and grand hustle to bring his whole thing to a bigger level. congrats.

you’d think that’d be enough, but trae gets his “racks” remix on with four more guests than the ones mentioned: tyga, jadakiss, gudda gudda (lol) and king bun b.
and did i mention the best thing about this song? RETURN OF THE MACK IS SAMPLED.

b.o.b. brings along houston’s trae and one of the worst artists in recent memory along for the ride of his new single and music video from EPIC.

i remember “assholes by nature” – the duo these two formed a few years back. i kinda liked most of that city, but aside from everything else, z-ro wrote “mo city don,” which is probably the greatest song to ever come out of houston. this cut definitely takes it back.

posting for the lu feature!
-grizzly
never was big on trae, but the beat/samples come correct, and lu’s verse is definitely noteworthy, albeit a tad forgettable due to the rest of the song. off of trae’s upcoming tape, can’t ban the truth.

you know, trae the truth is a respected emcee from houston, but seeing as how i’m completely oblivious to most “old school” houston rappers (save for z-ro and scarface), i’ve never given most of them a chance. this video is nothing to write home about, but i can get with the song.
it’s worth checking out because:
