The rapper flies solo on this one.

When he's not giving back and helping students in his community, Trae Tha Truth is in the studio working on new music. On Friday, the rapper dropped off his 11th studio album with Exhale. Trae's latest effort gives listeners insight into his thought processes and what issues plague him as a man, artist, and father.

Trae's most important role in life is fatherhood, something that he recently shared helped shape his creative process when crafting Exhale. His track "Letter 2 Truth" is an outpouring of emotion to his daughter as the emcee relieves himself of the often tough rap persona exterior and shares his vulnerability with fans.

“It makes me go harder, and it gives me a new set of wings,” he told DJ Booth about how being a father has changed him as an artist. “When you a fighter, and you feel like you about to tap out, it rejuvenates you.”
