Trae's first album, Losing Composure, was released in 2003, and featured a number of other local favorites like Bun B, Paul Wall, and Chamillionaire. Beyond his music, Trae is also a local luminary and dedicated community figure, honored in 2008 with Trae Day, which is celebrated on July 22 in Houston.īorn Frazier Othel Thompson, Trae is a member of both the Screwed Up Click and Guerilla Maab, as well as a part of the duo ABN ('Assholes by Nature'), who released two LPs in the early 2000s. From there, his 2010s output continued to attract big name collaborators and climb the charts, most notably with 2015's Tha Truth and its subsequent installments which arrived in 20. Breaking out of the Texas scene in the late 2000s, he stepped into the mainstream with Life Goes On. His official full-length debut, Losing Composure, arrived in 2003. Houston rapper Trae tha Truth (who has also performed as just Trae) has been an H-town staple since the late '90s when he made his debut on Z-Ro's Look What You Did to Me.
