Trae Tha Truth: “Mike Brown Decision Was A Slap In The Face” [Video]

Houston spitter Trae tha Truth briefly spoke to VladTV while on the red carpet for YG’s “Blame It on the Streets” premier and revealed that while he and YG have yet to collaborate, he thinks they will be linking up soon because they see each other all the time and know a track featuring both of them would be great. Trae also says the decision not to indict Darren Wilson is a slap in the face. He also addressed Grand Hustle labelmate Iggy Azalea’s “Best Rap Artist” win at the AMAs, saying he would congratulate whoever won the award and doesn’t feel the need to say one person deserves it more than others.
