Trae's trademark is a low, deep, guttural voice. His flow is very fast. In these two areas his style is somewhat reminiscent of Z-Ro's, as well as that of Flesh-N-Bone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Trae sometimes, though not always, mixes multiple vocal layers into his songs.
Trae first gained exposure on the Houston rap scene when he appeared on Z-Ro's album 'Look What You Did to Me'. In 2003, he began his solo career with the album 'Losing Composure'. 'Same Thing Different Day' (2004) and the acclaimed 'Restless' (2006) soon followed. Trae is currently signed to Rap-A-Lot Records.
He was featured in a video called Smash Exclusive: Houston Mic Pass with Lil' Flip, Chamillionaire, Chingo Bling, Bun B, Short Dawg, Big Hawk, and Mike D. He also appeared on the official remix of Yung Joc's song "It's Goin' Down", which earned Joc national attention and became one of the biggest mainstream pop hits of 2006.
"Real Talk" was featured on the soundtrack to the video game Madden NFL 07. Trae won an Ozone Award for Patiently Waiting Artist for Texas.

[Hook: Nate Dogg Sample]
Bitches ain't shit, but hoes and tricks [x8]
[Verse 1: YG]
Aye.uh
Got this bitch named Tar, She let me fuck her in the car
Like Kim Kardashian, she wanna be a star
Got this bitch named Britanny, With Big ass titties
Got a main bitch, but I don't need her
Every time we fuck, I gotta pop a bean first
Hit the purp, then eat that pussy for dessert
It gets worse, just watch when she squirt
I got this bitch who act Sadity
She live in the cities
Every time she hear I got a new bitch, She says she miss me
I'm a thug, Got this thug bitch she stay up in the Jungles
Every time we go to Crenshaw Mall, she have a Rumble
Got this bitch in the Hoovas, I don't wanna losaaa
Ass so fat to measure it, I need a rulaaa
Got this Bad Bitch, that go to North-ridge
She always wear Gucci, but sh[U]e can't afford it
[Hook]
Bitches ain't shit, but hoes and tricks [x8]
[Verse 2: Tyga]
Take a bitch life, Now it's my life
Need a bitch that can Fuck, Cook, Clean, right

Yeah she eat pussy, but she don't fuck dikes
Laid in the middlssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssse, two Miller Lites

That's why I flip em, flip em like ah zone girl
And every week I change my number to my phone cause...
[Hook]
Bitches ain't sh[F]it but, hoes and tricks [Repeat]
The song "Bitches Ain't Shit" by Trae featuring Nipsey Hu$$le and YC is a typical gangsta rap song that glorifies misogyny, promiscuity, and drug use. The song's hook is a sample from the late Nate Dogg's song "Bitches Ain't Shit" and repeats the phrase "Bitches ain't shit, but hoes and tricks" eight times. The first verse by YG talks about different types of women he has been with, ranging from Tar, who let him have sex with her in the car, to a main girl he doesn't really need. He also mentions popping a bean before having sex.
Tyga takes the second verse, where he boasts about taking a bitch's life, suggesting he is very dominant in bed. He also mentions turning a bitch out and making her lick twice, insinuating he wants to convert straight women into lesbians. Nipsey Hussle rounds off the song with his verse, where he talks about his preference for light-skinned women with big asses. He also mentions flipping women like a zone girl and changing his phone number every week.
The song has been criticized for its sexist and derogatory lyrics towards women. However, it found some success on the radio and in clubs due to its catchy beat and explicit lyrics.

I'm feeling great inside this establishment, and I shuffle money like cards. YG, tell these girls what's what, they're eager to fight over me. I can't be tamed, and I always stay on the move, so I don't hand out jewelry. I just avoid them like Donald Duck and don't even know what noise they make

You look good, but to me you just a bummy bitch

I'm swept with money, and you may look stunning, but you're still a worthless girl. What's funny is that you know my other girl, who I met through you. It was like some kind of secretive romance. That's your friend, isn't it? We live in a world full of deceitful girls, which is why I'm done with you and every other girl. Every week I change my phone number
Bitches ain't sh[F]it but, hoes and tricks [Repeat]
Girls have no value if all they do is act like hoes and resort to trickery to get what they want.
