The Video:
Trae Tha Truth is gearing up for the release of his Tha Truth 2 album this Friday, Feb. 5th, and today shares the video for one of the project’s opening cuts, “Crazy,” which debuts via Fuse TV and finds the Houston rapper fighting a straight jacket while debating the perception of his sanity. āCrazyā follows audio singles “Takersā with Quentin Miller, “All Goodā with T.I., Rick Ross, and Audio Push, and “Slugsā featuring Young Thug. As is to be expected with Trae, Tha Truth 2 boasts a wide range of features from bonafide superstars Wiz Khalifa, T.I., and Ty Dolla $ign to street rap vets like Yo Gotti to top notch newcomers such as Watch the Duck and Quentin Miller.
The second part of a two album series, Trae Tha Truthās 8th solo album, Tha Truth 2, follows 2015ās Tha Truth, which included the popular singles āTrickinā Every Car I Getā featuring Future and Boosie, and the Problem and Lil Boss-assisted cut āYeah Hoe.” “Tha Truth 2 is more from the soul, it’s more dark.,” Trae Tha Truth explained to Billboard. “It’s that breathe of fresh air of reality. There are a lot of people who go through hard times, and think no one can relate. Things that I went through, it gives them hope that they can get through it too. It’s from the heart, the energy and vibe gives you that 2Pac feel, capturing the moment and displaying that pain, the passion, and the struggle in a certain way. I’m blessed to be one of the few that can do the same thing. This album reminds me of Pac’s Me Against the World…. when you’re at that breaking point where you’re either gonna lay down or come out swinging, I decided to come out swinging.”
With an influence that expands beyond music, Trae Tha Truth has never stopped putting on for his community, and the City of Houston acknowledged itĀ when they honored him more than eight years ago with his own holiday.Ā Trae DayĀ is an annual festival commemorating Trae for his role as a civic leader – he was the first rapper in Texas to be givenĀ an official holiday by the city, and is the only to receive proclamations from two different mayors. HeĀ has alsoĀ founded a nonprofit organization, helpedĀ counsel inmates, sponsored at-risk high school students, and more.Ā Releasing this Friday, Feb. 5th, Tha Truth 2Ā is available for pre-order on iTunes. Ā
Fans can catch Trae on his Truth TourĀ through February.

Trae Tha Truth Background:
There are three ways to write about Trae Tha Truth. One is to talk about his music,Ā and thatās important because he is a rapper and making music is what he does. TheĀ other is to talk about him as a human, and thatās important, because he has doneĀ some truly monumental and impressive things. The third is to talk about theĀ intersection of him as a rapper and him as a humanitarian, because thatās where TraeĀ really belongs. His music is often inspired by theĀ experiences of the disenfranchised, which is rooted in the broken roads of theĀ ghetto. Itās driven by loss, by love, by loyalty, and by when one or two or all of thoseĀ things are taken away or tested of those he cares about.
Trae Tha Truth is very modest, he never talks about his guest features heād done orĀ any of his new tapes (Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, T.I., Nas, etc.) or how heād landed anotherĀ MTV JAM Video of the Week or how heād signed to T.I.ās label or any of the thingsĀ people were watching him accomplish from afar. What you need to about Trae is heĀ is a rapper, who has only ever viewed rap as another way for him to help people.Ā Trae Tha TruthāsĀ Tha Truth 2 isĀ the second part of a two album series, followingĀ 2015āsĀ Tha Truth.Ā The project is slated to release onĀ February 5th and is available for pre-order on iTunes.
