Stand up, H-town! Trae Tha Truth, a rapper, philanthropist, and activist, stays active in his community by assisting those in need. He consistently goes above and beyond to help the Houston community, whether it’s through his Relief Gang or during the holiday season. Trae is living up to his reputation through his “Angel By Nature” organization!
He was the second honoree to accept the Billboard Music Awards’ Change Maker Award tonight, and no one is more worthy of the distinction than he is. Trae was introduced by Tina Lawson, Beyoncé’s mother, who referred to him as “superman.” “Trae Tha Truth is a legend in Houston, with a heart as big as Texas. He’s a talented rapper, a voice for social change, and a true humanitarian, whose work touches cities across the country,” said Tina. “His name is so fitting because Trae really is the truth.”
Trae approached the stage looking sharp in a navy suit and gave a moving speech. “Coming from where I come from, nothing was ever promised,” Trae shared. “I always said, if I ever got in a position, I’d be there for those in need, whether it be assisting the little homies in music, whether it be assisting people in need of relief, or just fighting on the front line for those who can’t fight for thyself.”
He dedicated the award to a number of close friends, including Nipsey Hussle, DMX, and Lyric Chanel, whom he considers to be his niece. Trae was close friends with the adolescent who died in March from brain cancer. In her honor, he released the music video “Lyric Forever.” Trae, We would like to congratulate you once more.
