Trae’s video for “Tryin To Figure It Out (Houston Hurricane Harvey Dedication),” off 2015’s Tha Truth album, utilizes footage from Houston post-Harvey to profound effect, showing both the devastation left by the natural disaster and the Herculean relief efforts from volunteers to help those who need it most. While Trae just Tha Truth Pt. 3 this summer, his decision to release a visual to an older record makes sense when you hear its message and the poignant chorus from Ink: In this time of turmoil and despair, it’s important for Houston to rally together, pick up the pieces, and carry forward.
