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.
