The original Assholes by Nature, cousins Trae and Z-Ro remain two of
Houston’s most durable rap heavyweights. A gruff but oddly mellow
rhymesmith, Trae tha Truth has recovered from a gunshot wound suffered
outside a southwest Houston cabaret in June, and this is first his
first headlining show in town since the incident. One of Texas’ most
introspective and eloquent MCs of all time, Z-Ro is the self-styled
“King of the Ghetto” and a must-follow on Twitter who last month
emphatically put any retirement rumors to rest in a sharp-tongued new
video, “This Ain’t Livin.”
