Trae grew up in Houston, Texas. Born and raised a product of it's south side streets. Among other notable distinctions, he's a member of the Screwed Up Click and the ABN Gang. Since his first appearance on wax, on his cousin Z-ro's debut CD, Look What You Did to Me, to this moment today, Trae has been one of the most consistently lyrical, street reporters this region has ever known. His first official release hit the world in 1999, the classic Guerilla Maab album, Rise. Rise helped set the tone for a whole resurgence in Houston.
