A few months back, Trae Tha Truth closed out his Tha Truth series with it's third and final installment. The project had a star-studded line up with the likes of Post Malone, T.I., Dave East, Royce Da 5'9", Young Thug and more making appearances. Thug and Skippa Da Flippa assisted on the project's stand out record, "Thuggin'." While we've had a few months to fully digest it in it's entirety, he releases the video for "Thuggin'." 

Trae Tha Truth brings Young Thug and Skippa Da Flippa together for the "Thuggin'" video. The track was one of the more popular tracks on the project and rightfully so. All three rappers completely demolish the record. While Trae Tha Truth continues to prove that he's not only an outstanding rapper, he's also able to keep up with the new wave of rappers, such as Young Thug and Skippa Da Flippa. Throughout the video, the three rappers are flexing on a illuminated set while surrounded by beautiful women with face paint to resemble felines. We're only a few weeks until Halloween so it seems like an appropriate visual detail for the upcoming festive season. 

Aside from the release of his recent album, Trae tha Truth was also a pivotal figure when Hurricane Harvey hit his hometown of Houston. A day after the hurricane hit, Trae the Truth was seen rafting through the streets of Houston along with the city's fire department to help anyone who needed shelter. It wasn't surprising especially if you consider that he's not only been a staple in the city of Houston but was also honored with his own day for his outstanding work in Houston's community. Trae Day lands on July 22nd and was the first time a rapper ever received that honor.
