ABN’s fearless leader’s original version of “I’m On” played out like a blockbuster remix and it seemed like it was already at its apex with star power. Shame on anyone doubting the extent of Trae Tha Truth’s connections in this industry for the “2.0″ upgrade pits the hungriest of today’s rabid rappers together as they try to make their mark with just eight bars to spare.

Almost half a year after the song’s release, Trae Tha Truth still managed to round up the crew for this official visual to the Street King single “I’m On.” And, even though it appears each MC was shot in a different location, director Philly Fly Boy ties everybody together Read the rest of this entry »

Full disclosure: I hate 50 Cent. His crab in a barrel road to success, relentless attention whoring and baiting, and ruthless business practices have worked my nerves for the last half a decade. It’s because of 50 that so many people use SoundScan numbers as a barometer for an album’s quality. If 50 never made an album again, continued to make sh*tty straight-to-DVD flicks and fell off the face of the Hip-Hop world forever, I wouldn’t shed a tear. However, today, I find myself siding with Curtis. Read the rest of this entry »

I could’ve sworn there was a video for this already, but whatever, we’re here now. Trae and Jadakiss take a red-eye flight to the 305 to meet up with Ross, party and in somewhere in between bitties, bottles and blunts shoot the video for their “Inkredible (Remix).” Read the rest of this entry »

If DJ Khaled can be on one with his famous friends for the summer, no reason why Trae Tha Truth can’t do the same. Borrowing a bit of heat from Mark Morrison’s classic jam, the Houston heavyweight just didn’t recruit the prime time players for their namesake. He actually had them work for their pay as every artists gives a rapid fire performance, not concerned with standing out for the radio DJs but more so for the people of the streets.

Music comes and goes so fast these days that remembering when certain songs or albums came out becomes a blur. Credit or blame such an impression with age of wi-fi, but Trae and Wiz’s “Getting Paid” seems ancient in terms of shelf life. Not that it matters though since the song is one hell of a soundtrack in the whip or when you’re getting faded. Read the rest of this entry »

Gary Warnett is a G. He does heavy work over at Crooked Tongues but his editorial reach stretches much further, ranging from doing copy for your favorite brands, dropping gems on his own Gwarizm website and plenty of other crevices in between. Read the rest of this entry »

Decided in 2005 that I can f*ck any b*tch that I want…

Wiz’s Cabin Fever came in handy this weekend and “Phone Numbers” featuring Trae Tha Truth and Big Sean certainly made driving my car an enjoyable experience. My Camry felt like a Maybach for a split second. Read the rest of this entry »

More f#@k with Trae Day and everybody’s celebrating. No sooner than I predicted the world would get more acquainted with Trae this year, the Houston Rocket flexes his muscle with the heavy and lightweight champions (figuratively speaking) Rick Ross and Weezy. Read the rest of this entry »
