Three months after Devin The Dude left Rap-A-Lot Records after over 15 years with the Houston label [click to read], another prevalent artist, Trae Tha Truth is reportedly calling himself a free agent as of this morning. Trae, a one-time affiliate of The Screwed-Up Click and leader of ABN (Assholes By Nature) released two albums at Rap-A-Lot, 2006's critically-acclaimed Restless and last year's Life Goes On. The latter cracked the Top 200 Billboard charts last October.

In the interim time between his next recording contract, Trae will be performing this month, doing regional spot dates. Recently, the rapper, joined by ABN, performed in front of the maximum security Ramsey Unit at the federal prison in Rosharon, Texas. Two live shows were presented, in front of over 700 inmates. Slim Thug, who is also claiming "free agency" joined Trae for the performances. The event was deemed Hopefest, and may likely become a tradition.

Trae is rumored to be working on an album with his cousin and ABN member Z-Ro called It Is What It Is.
Rap-A-Lot is presently campaigning for Bun B's II Trill [click to listen], as well as greatest hits compilations for Scarface and Pimp C.
The tour dates for Trae are listed below:

You didn't hear Who's The Man? by Z-Ro & Trae which was leaked earlier this year as an internet single for their joint album?

The ABN album is done and Trae's next solo is in the works.

Rap-A-Lot is going to disappear in the next two years.

ABN is supposed to drop July 15th, but I'm sure it'll be pushed back.

Oh I agree, and the new Bun is still coming out there, so he's still got some pull. Just seems like all the important cats are abandoning ship. Not a good sign.

No more Scarface.
No more Devin.
No more Trae.
Im pretty sure this is Bun B's last album on RAL.

SHITTY PATCHWORK YUKMOUTH ALBUMS, THAT HOT NEW DO OR DIE AND HALF-ASSED GREATEST HITS FOR EVERYONE!

Hopefully J can get his shit together.

Good to see Trae is still doing his thing regardless, ABM, thats that shit, street brothers from diffrent crews linking up, showing that unity and strength in numbers type of shit, wit talent, thats a beautiful powerful thing my niggas, truss me on that

but i don't think rap-a-lot are over, J Prince is a certified og, he's a survivor, feds couldn't flop him, nor will this, rap-a-lot have been doing there thing since the 80's, they still have Bun B and you know Z-Ro always drops a couple of albums now and then. I don't see why J can't try to sign someone like ESG or someone like that aswell, that would be big too
