Chamillionaire - “My Life” (feat. Trae & Slim Thug)
Koopa, Trae, and Thugga spitting some heartfelt lyrics over Game’s “My Life.” No matter how many times you hear it, it’s always refreshing to see these guys come together and share a moment. Houston hip-hop is slowly but surely witnessing a revival, ladies and gentlemen.
Trae and Mike Jones have simultaneously released public statements and apologies in an attempt to put their recent altercation behind. I particularly like the fact that Trae’s apology came along with the above picture. In case you’re wondering, that’s Trae holding up the proclamation certificate Mayor Bill White handed him just 3 weeks ago.

Mike Jones had his nose bloodied at last night’s Ozone Awards, thanks to Trae’s knuckles. Watch as Trae reveals the motivation behind the knockout punch that made Mike Jones more popular than he’d like to be. I don’t condone this type of violence, but Trae Vs. Mike Jones is truly a mismatch — physically and musically.
Trae with Houston Mayor Bill White
As I mentioned earlier, July 22nd is now officially Trae Day here in Houston. Here are some photos from the proclamation and block party. Congrats to Trae, Nancy, and the whole ABN. Block party pics after the gap.

Congrats to Trae on being honored with his own day. July 22nd is now officially known as Trae Day in Houston. It’s the first time such honor has been bestowed on a rapper. I was really hoping to be at today’s Proclamation Ceremony, but life had other plans. Long story. Shout out to Mayor Bill White for recognizing this kind and dedicated gentleman for who he is.
Bump some Trae today if you can.

Trae — that’s a brand name, like Pepsi, that’s a brand name. He stands behind it. He guarantees it, even if you don’t know him any more than you know the chairman of Rap-A-Lot…
Having fulfilled his contractual obligations at Rap-A-Lot, Trae is now a free agent. If you’re keeping tab, that’s 2 big exits (Devin made his move in February) at RAL in the last 3 months alone. What’s really going on over there?
Anyhow, Trae plans to stay busy with an extensive nationwide trek. Peep the tour schedule below:

Konsole Kingz recently blessed Trae (and 49 other artists) with their VIP program for XBOX 360. Yup, that’s a limited edition Grand Theft Auto IV 360 console he’s clutching. I think I’m in the wrong business.
After yesterday’s debate, I’m leaning towards 360 still weighing my options.
