About Me

Traye, born James Jackson, III is nothing but the truth. Unlike other artists, Traye raps what he has experienced in his short 25 years as a native of Detroit, Michigan. Born an 80s baby around what most would glorify, he learned from others familiarity and failures. He has been rhyming since the age of 8 and started writing at 10 years old. He’s dealt with numerous producers and artists such as Drunken Master, E-dubb, The late Proof (of D12 fame), and Mike Moov. He is a member of Detroits own, Concreatures Family.His gritty blend of urban storytelling and unorthodox delivery makes him a stand-out on any song. He says what most think about but are afraid to give voice to. You might not agree with his perspective but it is to be respected. Sometimes the truth hurts!!!
