Track Review: Trae Tha Truth – I’m On ft. Lupe Fiasco, Big Boi, Wale, Wiz Khalifa & MDMA

Off Trae's upcoming album, Street King, dropping July 12th.

Productions on point here with it's minimalist, relaxed vibe. MDMA's vocals are a nice touch an a lot less commercial than anything you might have heard from him on LASERS. Lupe's verse is pretty good and Big Boi brings some great energy to the track. Trae, Wale and Wiz's verses are all decent enough but hardly memorable. I've seen a lot of complaints regarding Trae's voice and I have to say, it certainly is distinct. I can't say I'm a big fan but it fails to bother me either.

For those unfamiliar with MDMA you might remember him from Hi-Definition off Lupe Fiasco's The Cool. For what it is - a catchy single - it's quite good. At first i wasn't feeling just how 'Pop' MDMA's voice was but it grew on me after a couple of listens and 'The Audibles' did a reasonable job with the beat, creating something 'Pop' and catchy without quite producing a generic throwaway (though they certainly are straddling the line). Lupe, of course, steals the show and manages to put out a better verse on a radio-friendly first single than most MC's ever write in their life. After a little 4 bar warm up Lupe goes on to give a lesson on how to ride the fuck out of the beat. LASERS can't come soon enough!
