Trae Da Truth Banned from Houston Radio

What kind of world is it when an artist isn't even being shown love from their own city, let alone local radio station?  Regardless of how fans and city folk may feel about a particular rapper, the stations usually have his/her back through it all.

This saying clearly doesn't apply for Houston's own Trae Da Truth, as word is spreading that radio station 97.9 the Box has put a hold on playing any music by him or any other songs that he has been featured on unless his verses are removed from the track entirely. 

The reasoning behind the ban stems from the incident that occurred earlier this summer during his own Trae Day event where shots were fired off and six were injured.  Apparently, some believe that his music is a promotion of unruly behavior and that it is too violent to be heard within the community of Houston. 

Oddly enough, it was Bill White, the mayor of Houston, who actually awarded the rapper with Trae Day in honor of his outstanding work within the community. 

Trae may have lost in that, but it should only be shrugged off as he has a new baby to be happy for. 

Even with the potential ban, the music must continue to flow as The Incredible Truth mixtape was recently released and Hip-Hop fans continue to wait on his next album, Tha Truth which is expected to hit the mainstream circuit in 2010.

Wale is yet another artist that has had to deal with hate in his own hometown as a local radio station had placed his material on the backburner although he has become one of D.C.'s most prominent voices in years. 

Look how quickly some people can turn their back on you once there is a little bump in the road
