"all this happened before hand. from what people were saying this is what happened - Trae and Mike were talking, just talkin normal at first and then Mike made a smart remark about him getting money this and that. So Trae said something to the degree of why are you repping tx now, when all the attention went off of tx, so did your representation of your own city. So thats when the arguing started. I dont believe anyone came from behind Mike and hit him because where they argued at there were barricades line up, just like Trae said, i think they were actually passing by eachother going in different directions. Anyways when Mike started to get smart and louder, Trae just sicked him. Mikes guys pulled mike away and trae and his dudes tried jumping the barricades to get the Mike and his guys. Thats what i heard happened…..i kind of believe it."

On Tuesday, July 22, Houston Mayor Bill White will issue a proclamation officially declaring the date as Trae Day in a ceremony to be attended by the city officials as well as several other prominent Houston celebs.
In the last few months alone, Trae has participated in two high profile initiatives tied to Texas’s often underserved prison community.
In May, he embarked on the Hopefest Tour, a speaking and performance tour which took him, frequent collaborator Slim Thug and members of their respective crews ABN and Boss Hogg Outlawz to several Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities.
The tour reached several hundred inmates from maximum-security facilities to the juvenile offenders at the Clements Unit in Amarillo, TX. He is also actively involved with the No More Victims Advocacy Program, which works with the M.B. Smiley High School in Northeast Houston to support children of incarcerated parents.

Every Trae has his day
It's not every person, and certainly not every rap artist, who's honored by the Mayor. But July 22 is now officially Trae Day.
The low-key rapper -- whose real name is Frasier Thompson III -- was honored Tuesday by Mayor Bill White and the Houston City Council for his extensive community work. Trae performed earlier this year at the Ramsey 1 Unit of the maximum security prison in Rosharon and for the Youthful Offender Program at the Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice-Clements Unit in Brazoria.
"This day's real exciting for me," Trae said en route to City Hall, behind the wheel of a bright-blue BMW. "I'm just glad I'm in this situation.
"If I stay at this pace, it's going to be a wonderful year, man."
The event came together less than a month ago, and several members of City Council seemed encouraged and amused by the situation. Mayor White claimed his son was a fan, and Brown even offered a few clumsy dance moves during the presentation in City Council chambers.
"I'm glad to see that rap, which is profound in certain communities, is being used in a positive way," said Councilwoman Jolanda Jones.
Later that day, Trae celebrated with a block party at Sharpstown Mall, which drew more than 5,000 fans, according to publicist Nancy Byron.
Among the crowd were members of No More Victims, Inc., an advocacy agency for newborns and children of incarcerated parents. Students from M. B. Smiley High School accompanied Trae to City Hall and presented him with their own certificate of appreciation.
"We've been waiting for years for someone to step up of this magnitude," said No More Victims founder and CEO Marilyn Gambrell (whose story was turned into a 2005 Lifetime movie).
"A lot of people's view of hip hop is, 'Sittin' up in my cell.' And to see this side of these artists, with our kids, it could turn the whole tide."
