different challenges that people are

2:23
[Applause]
2:32
we in the trenches right now you know we
2:34
leaving in our vehicles and stuff so i
2:36
just woke back up for a second
2:39
trey um if you can uh
2:42
the whole country has been affected by
2:43
hurricane ida
2:45
can you tell us what you're seeing where
2:46
you are right now and you said you guys
2:48
in your trucks and trailers and and
2:50
where are you where are you right now
2:52
and what have you been witnessing
2:54
in person another city
2:56
man mr rogers and that team we're in the
2:58
city called the plaza
3:00
you know these are some of the smallest
3:02
cities that surround the big cities that
3:05
people uh
3:06
see you know we
3:08
went through new orleans we just
3:09
yesterday the feet
3:11
um
3:13
we got people at home but we got people
3:15
everywhere man but right now and laplace
3:17
is one of the places where the water
3:19
still haven't even resided and you know
3:21
i got a big monster truck for rescues so
3:25
imagine if the if i'm driving through
3:27
something and saying man i might not
3:29
make it before that's kind of how bad it
3:31
is and
3:32
you know trees no power no food
3:37
no gas
3:38
you know for us it's the typical of what
3:40
we always see for everybody else you
3:42
know something new for them but it's
3:44
drastic so what what kind of help
3:48
if any are you seeing people get from
3:50
the state or federal government at all
3:52
do you see any relief in that coming
3:54
from that form
3:55
uh that's it you know man to be honest
3:58
they usually take some people
4:00
uh days up to a week we've been out here
4:03
since the day the hurricane happened i
4:06
ain't seen none of them
4:07
i haven't seen none of them
4:09
so um
4:11
we you know when they come to me and my
4:12
team we don't wait for them like we
4:14
learned a long time ago man we gonna go
4:17
do what needs to be done because
4:19
how can i tell somebody
4:22
that don't have something to eat or
4:24
have babies that may be starving or just
4:26
in a bad situation to wait for a week
4:28
till we make a plan
4:30
like that don't work for me
4:32
i remember that the day we got here
4:35
we were having to rescue people out of
4:37
addicts
4:38
you know
4:39
which way it was the blessing we we got
4:41
the 100 year old lady like
4:43
some of these so many people wouldn't be
4:45
able to make it if people don't move
4:47
right then enough you know
4:49
what advice like as you see this i don't
4:52
even know if it's advice but
4:53
what information can you give people
4:55
because you've seen people in you know
4:57
at every every stage of this you know of
4:59
hurricane ida you know you've seen
5:01
people who are so far off
5:03
that they don't even have homes what
5:05
what what suggestions would you make to
5:06
people who were going through
5:08
well people are being disimpacted by the
5:10
hurricane
5:12
what what advice can you give them what
5:13
should they do should they stay in their
5:15
homes if it's flooded should they oh man
5:17
i'm gonna be honest with you it's a
5:19
crazy situation over the years
5:24
just seems like the older you get
5:28
the more i don't want to call it
5:30
stubborn but you cannot make some of
5:32
your elders
5:34
leave they feel like man i haven't been
5:35
through this yeah this much and been
5:37
around so i'm staying and that in them
5:40
situations you just gotta
5:42
you still have to be there for them no
5:43
matter what you know i'm saying uh to
5:46
to try and beat up because you know it'd
5:47
be heartbreaking man they don't want to
5:49
leave and they think they're gonna make
5:50
it through
5:51
until
5:52
trees coming through the city not a
5:54
house and stuff like that that's like
5:56
just a touchy situation man
5:59
um what i did want to clarify too
6:01
uh i didn't see any government
6:04
thing government people only people i've
6:06
seen that that's been here
6:08
uh
6:09
i've seen a few of the um military
6:13
but um
6:14
you know that comes with some of the
6:17
rescues you know so
6:19
but it's ugh man bro and excuse me if i
6:22
sound crazy i'm all over like we i got
6:24
the dogs off for a couple hours
6:29
when i woke up and get to work did i
6:31
wake you up trey cause i know i sent you
6:33
that test
6:36
you ain't kelly shout out kelly i'll
6:37
woke me up daily but
6:40
the team up now so they wait for me and
6:42
mr rogers to
6:44
get up now so we can go get back in the
6:45
field okay one of the reasons why i
6:47
wanted to have you on and i'll let
6:48
heather and tracy jump in
6:50
is we've had a lot of callers that
6:53
didn't know where to go
6:54
to to help to donate if they wanted to
6:57
become donors they want to send money if
6:59
they wanted to send supplies they just
7:01
really didn't want know where to go
7:03
where to send because so many places are
7:05
being impacted i thought it would be
7:07
great if we could send people to you in
7:09
relief gang even you know and at least
7:12
they know that their donations is going
7:14
to actually help people is actually
7:15
going to beat folks on the ground
7:17
utilizing their resources to help other
7:19
people and so i want this you know first
7:22
of all is that where people would send
7:25
donations if they want to help out what
7:26
you guys are doing and is that is it
7:28
that relief gang
7:30
yeah so we have a couple ways to do it
7:34
because you have some people that
7:35
strictly want to
7:37
if they're going to the the non-profit
7:40
and the website is angel by nature.com
7:43
angelbynature.com
7:45
but if they want to help for what we're
7:46
doing right now
7:48
the relief game cash app is release gang
7:51
and the number one relief game one on
7:54
the release game paypal is on release
7:56
gang at gmail
7:58
so you know if those are the three
8:00
options they have relief gang one
8:03
at cash up on the lead gang at gmail for
8:06
paypal
8:07
and the actual website is angel by
8:09
nature.com
8:11
afraid of truth man we're waking them up
8:13
even the money thing either you know
8:15
some of these sometimes if they don't
8:17
have sometimes people don't have the
8:18
money and
8:19
they may have resources and at the end
8:21
of the day people
8:23
people need supplies you know like for
8:25
instance with us we came out
8:27
we have maybe like
8:29
10 12 trucks we have
8:32
paper towels we have
8:34
um gas cans we have
8:36
flashlights generators water
8:39
diapers
8:40
all the way down to dog food to um
8:44
all cleaner supplies but people have to
8:46
understand once they're flooded in your
8:48
home
8:49
like mold and everything gets in there
8:51
for some of these people going back home
8:52
they got to strip them walls they got to
8:55
do a little bit of everything
8:57
for the safety of they
8:59
oxygen and their kids they need cleaning
9:01
supplies and different stuff like that
9:03
so
9:04
in houston we were trying to find
9:06
somebody to team up with us to let us
9:07
use their warehouse to
9:09
just to store stuff so we can start
9:11
transporting back and forth
9:14
you know that's what we're doing oh yeah
9:16
shout out mattress mac i don't know if
9:17
you know mattress mac is his team's been
9:19
bringing
9:20
water out here um
9:22
the turkey leg had brought
9:24
food out here yesterday i mean
9:27
right now there's more
9:29
normal human beings doing their part
9:32
i love to trade the truth man anybody's
9:34
been impacted or got questions about
9:36
what's going on in your region with
9:38
hurricane ida um i'm not saying he's the
9:41
expert but maybe he'll give you some
9:42
insight on things you can do or people
9:44
you can reach out to pray the truth
9:46
eight eight seven four two three three
9:48
four five
9:51
crazy go ahead
9:53
trey just
9:54
our appreciation like is overflowing for
9:58
you and it's been like this for so long
10:01
and i understand you know when you are
10:04
in the center of tragedy of course
10:07
there's so much mental physical
10:10
spiritual warfare it feels
10:12
um but also
10:15
i don't know if i want to call it a
10:16
silver lining but there's also these
10:19
very selfless acts of humanity that are
10:22
seen you know because literally for
10:24
human survival
10:26
we need community you know what i mean
10:28
we need to be connected it takes us back
10:31
to like our original tribal state would
10:34
you mind sharing
10:36
just
10:36
some experiences that you're having that
10:39
you're seeing
10:40
that really warmed your heart
10:42
through this
10:44
time um
10:46
i think
10:48
all of it does
10:49
i mean you know
10:50
all of it does in a sense from
10:53
especially you know with the kids and
10:55
just the people in general so
10:57
p a lot of people don't know relief yang
10:59
is me and dj mr rogers we have a core
11:03
a core that comes out on the regular
11:06
can be anywhere from
11:08
10 to 12 people but
11:10
when you see us you may see us with 30
11:12
to 40 and with that being said these are
11:15
people that just have it on their mind
11:17
and on their heart that we inspire
11:19
and we meet a lot of people across the
11:21
way you know i'm saying so that builds
11:24
relationships and you know just even
11:26
more hopeful people
11:28
and i think the thing that really
11:31
does that for me is
11:33
once they actually get the help that
11:35
they thought they never would get
11:37
and you kind of give them a breath of
11:39
fresh air or a way they can exhale for a
11:41
second
11:42
that's that's the moment for us you know
11:44
i'm saying
11:45
like when when when people
11:48
when people feel like hey i didn't know
11:49
what i was gonna do i they gave up or
11:52
they were gonna go do something to crash
11:54
out
11:55
and at some random moment you have me
11:57
and the team pull up and
11:59
change your whole situation
12:02
to where we just actually
12:04
saved you from
12:06
getting yourself killed to get yourself
12:08
in a messed up situation by feeling you
12:10
was out here
12:12
alone against the world
12:14
you know we've been in these situations
12:15
many times man and
12:18
i it was one time i remember um
12:20
we were rescuing somebody
12:23
and she was just crying away and you
12:25
know that's one thing about me i hate to
12:27
see people cry so she was crying away
12:29
and she was like um
12:32
everybody told me
12:34
it was gonna be all right trey and i'm
12:36
gonna come in and it was you know it's
12:37
crazy instead of saying the government
12:39
somebody's gonna happen they're like
12:40
trey and i'm gonna come in her mind
12:42
she's like
12:44
that's just trey
12:45
he's not he's not from here
12:47
ain't nowhere in the world and you know
12:49
what i'm saying
12:50
and out of all the people that got to
12:52
her was me and my team and she just she
12:55
she couldn't understand it you know what
12:57
i'm saying and she couldn't understand
12:59
how the people instead of believing
13:01
anything else the only thing they could
13:03
think is trey and relief gang gonna find
13:05
a way to help her and we actually did
13:07
find a way to help him so
13:09
wow you're reintroducing people to hope
13:13
interesting yeah yeah because you don't
13:15
want them to give up man you got to
13:17
realize coming from where i come from
13:19
yeah when they come time even when i was
13:21
younger sometimes with me giving up him
13:23
like i was against the world were led to
13:25
me catching aggravated robbery case and
13:27
everything else
13:28
you know you have to understand these
13:30
these different
13:32
trials of life can can push you in a
13:33
different direction
13:36

13:40
how's your health honestly on the road
13:42

17:49
you make your money is you know it's
17:51
your therapy it's how you create it and
17:53
to shout out the positive things like
17:55
like what she said instead of just a
17:56
disaster so yeah we
17:58
bump box man i'm probably one of the
18:01
the number one companies right now with
18:02
me and my team
18:06
box productions i don't know if y'all
18:08
know me and my partner rod just launched
18:11
howdy homemade katie
18:13
so you know that's the ice cream shop we
18:15
have in houston that employs special
18:17
needs once they get out of high school
18:19
you know a lot of special needs kids
18:20
don't have anywhere to go
18:22
whether they be at home or a parent
18:24
placement somewhere so we wanted the
18:26
opportunity for them to be able to feel
18:28
normal and do normal things so you know
18:30
we have howdy homemade katie in houston
18:32
which is our ice cream
18:34
store that employs special needs
18:37
um
18:38
you know started my two brothers
18:40
trucking with my brother bugs
18:42
uh
18:43
i'm trying to i got my partner tank with
18:46
um
18:48
man i got so many businesses going where
18:50
we trying to um
18:52
we we actually trying to clean up people
18:54
credit and give people opportunities you
18:56
know a lot of people still and they this
18:58
mind frame think that cash is everything
19:00
and they don't understand how a lot of
19:01
people that they
19:02
looking up to or that they watching is
19:05
able to do some of the things they do so
19:06
i'm trying to get them
19:08
the knowledge on that um
19:10
you know i'm still working hard to try
19:12
and open up emergency children's shelter
19:15
and um one of my other goals is to to
19:19
get a instead of ymca i'm gonna start
19:21
creating tray mcas
19:23
and the crew speaking of the crew
19:26
so the crew are partnered with a little
19:28
youth football league
19:30
got about three 400 kids throughout the
19:32
city and
19:33
surrounded areas that that's
19:36
been ranked nationals you know i'm
19:38
saying that these kids most of their
19:40
parents and them
19:41
come from the hood and they just don't
19:42
have opportunities so you know i
19:43
partnered with that and so now
19:46
i got another 400 kids on side of my
19:48
kids that i take care of and
19:51
you know just create different ways you
19:53
know i'm doing different stuff with them
19:55
weekly or
19:57
just different things to try and
20:00
keep they energy going to keep they hope
20:01
going and
20:03
also bringing them to do different stuff
20:05
in the community too so
20:07
this is how i got my hands
20:09
oh lord
20:11
no you don't get sleep you're a servant
20:15
you're a servant man he telling me don't
20:17
forget about my music you
20:31
stop let's go yeah my people be mad at
20:35
me they call me a hoarder because they'd
20:37
be like man you just do that music for
20:38
your own stuff to ride around yo bro but
20:41
the thing is
20:42
you you know the feeling is man
20:45
true story if you go look at the history
20:47
every time i drop an album
20:49
shortly a disaster a flood or something
20:51
happening happens it'd always get lost
20:53
in the shuffle so wow now it's like i'm
20:56
hesitant that they put music out because
20:57
there's always something going on and
20:59
i'll never i'll never get a fair run you
21:01
know what i'm saying so don't worry
21:02
about it trey just put it out you're not
21:05
putting it out to sell music you put it
21:07
out you're giving the world something in
21:08
your music at this point
21:10
don't worry about it man you can't
21:11
predict what mother nature gonna do
21:15
so yeah man put that music out then that
21:17
way you play the odds
21:19
you ain't going to be a hurricane every
21:21
day
21:22
you know put them in healing
21:24
yeah man we want to hear from you lee we
21:26

21:30
sway
21:31
tracy heather trey how y'all doing what
21:33

21:36
i just wanted to quickly uh shout out
21:38
trader troop you know i mean i am a fan
21:39
you know i've definitely heard your
21:40
music over time uh and i think you
21:43
should still put that out for sure but i
21:44
definitely wanted to say that this man
21:47
deserves a humanitarian award something
21:50
like something because in their way that
21:52
they out here beating fema and actually
21:55
saving lives before fema and not getting
21:57
of no recognition i ain't going to see
21:59
it none of this on the news and i mean
22:01
i'm in texas i've seen some of it but
22:02
like this needs to be highlighted this
22:04
man needs to be celebrated his music is
22:06
always on point and you know
22:09
he's just a stand-up guy from what i see
22:11
absolutely you deserve that
22:13
that's what's up man we should be
22:15
appreciated for that yeah absolutely hey
22:18
and make sure you follow trader truth
22:20
too
22:22
okay that's trey t-r-a-e
22:36
just y'all get ready if y'all familiar
22:37
with my i got the series i'm on yeah you
22:40
know i put out three you know i've been
22:42
sitting on four i haven't put four out
22:44
yet before it's probably gonna shake the
22:46
words a lot of people on four
22:48
hey trey i want you to put this music
22:50
out too so you can also not just be on
22:53
the road
22:54
you know helping others selflessly but
22:56
also man being on the road and getting
22:58
on that stage man i met you on the stage
23:01
you know get out there
23:03
you know i could be honest with you sway
23:05
so it's a crazy situation right you know
23:08
this i've been banned like almost 14
23:11
years to this day
23:12
i haven't been able to get a
23:15
a record deal but behind that band and
23:18
to this day i haven't been able to get
23:22
on official tours because
23:24
i'm not tied in with the agencies
23:26
through the label so i'll just be kind
23:28
of winging it man
23:30
and what you know for me it's a good
23:31
thing because i think if none of that
23:32
stuff would happen to me
23:34
i would be the monster that i am now you
23:37
know what i'm saying so i you get a
23:38
blessing out of every lesson but yeah i
23:40
ain't never really had my fair run with
23:42
it so you know i'll just be i'll be a
23:44
little hesitant with it now some of
23:46
these artists need to put you on they
23:47
toured in
23:48
that part yeah but you don't always
23:51
remember man
23:52
nobody owes you nothing in life nah nah
23:55
nah i'm not no i'm not man nah i i know
23:58
what you're saying
23:59
say somebody owe you i disagree with you
24:01
because no no i don't think nobody owes
24:03
you nothing i i agree i don't you don't
24:06
i don't owe you you don't owe me
24:09
but i should feel obligated
24:11
to put you on the tour based on the work
24:13
you do
24:14
in this community for this culture it
24:17
ain't nothing for somebody to say try
24:19
run on this tour with me
24:20
we'll give you a little bit of this a
24:22
little bit of that ain't nothing for me
24:23
come on man you know what this is man
24:25
anybody could put you a lot of your
24:26
friends are touring
24:28
they could put you on the tour you
24:30
don't need no agency i won't trade the
24:32
truth i mean the the the truth of it is
24:35
it just don't happen that way brother
24:37
yeah that's the truth
24:38
but i'd love to see you out there man
24:40
hey lee thanks for your call you're a
24:41
citizen you're a scientist
24:43
but i agree with you no one owes you
24:44
nothing that's the
24:46
thing about this business that's why you
24:48
on my this show right here on this
24:50
platform i see the real you doing
24:51
man
24:52
i see what's real all right all this
24:55
stuff we see on social people arguing at
24:57
each other who's who's the realest who's
24:59
that all that ain't real
25:01
what y'all fighting over on social media
25:03
or lives or i see people going back and
25:06
forth over some real childish
25:08
behavior that generates views but what's
25:11
real
25:12
is what relief gang is doing
25:15
what's real is relief game putting their
25:18
safety in jeopardy
25:20
to make sure your safety is secure what
25:23
you doing is the realest in the
25:24
game i love these albums donda clb
25:27
that's great
25:29
that's awesome
25:30
that we can have these fun conversations
25:32
about these particular projects but we
25:34
cannot neglect
25:36
this real
25:37
this work you're doing in the community
25:39
that's real
25:40
you know
25:43
it says a lot about his character though
25:45
trey about your character like you're
25:46
right nobody owes you a damn thing
25:50
nobody but i think it's important that
25:52
just the same way you're speaking about
25:54
your character it's just a character of
25:56
people
25:57
just to acknowledge you and give you
25:59
your flowers and that that's why i said
26:01
for us and for people to like this
26:03
like-minded it's important that we
26:05
celebrate you like
26:06
it's not a owen but we you you deserve
26:10
the celebration for everything you
26:12
deserve these flowers bouquets you just
26:14
do because i don't know many people and
26:17
it could just be my ignorance but i just
26:19
don't know many people that's actually
26:21
doing what you're doing on a consistent
26:24
basis we've been doing this show for 10
26:26
years and i feel like every time we
26:28
speak to you you're either coming from
26:30
or going to help people keep going real
26:32
talk right
26:34
i just don't know many people like that
26:37
so we so we're going to give you these
26:38
flowers but we're going to you trey got
26:40
to make money too y'all

26:52

26:54
hell of a strain but you know i don't
26:56

26:57

26:59

27:03
they just passed

be the person that you are any of the
30:48
community leaders you could trace them
30:49
back as far mlk to whoever the community
30:52
leaders that you follow need a few
30:54
things they need a support base
30:57
they need to be eating healthy
30:59
they need to get as much rest as they
31:01
can
31:02
they need to be inspired too and they
31:04
need to be understand understood that
31:06
they're human beings trait of truth
31:08

they do because they
31:22
baby trying to get me to stop i just
31:24
bro when i when i stop it feel like i'm
31:26
not working
31:27
and i know it'd be so funny like some of
31:29
my uh
31:30
some of my nieces and nephews be around
31:32
they'd be like man he's just a machine
31:34
he just don't sit down
31:36
so
31:37
you know but i think that that's
31:39
god got you in a situation that you can
31:40
handle so i think i think you know my
31:42
body when it's time for me to
31:45

31:46
sit down absolutely man well we'll be
31:49

31:53
nice
31:54
you know and looking so crazy you spit
31:56
yourself for the crew and off top so off
31:59
top is my new single with me moxie and
32:02
the last person on the name jared that's
32:04
my oldest son
32:06
and when you um play the crew the crew
32:09
is houston on that which is my youngest
32:11
son so
32:12
all them doing their own thing now too
32:14
so it's just it's a crazy situation man
32:18
and off top in the crew are all
32:19
available now people want to pick them
32:21
up right
32:22
they want to stream it
32:24
off top is my first official single for
32:27
whatever album i decide to do whether
32:30
i end up getting a deal or a situation
32:32
or or if they stay sleeping on me and i
32:34
just put it back out to the street
32:36
either or but it's gonna come off my abs
32:38
hey real quick question trey and and we
32:41
don't have to get deep into it um
32:46
why why you need a label at this point
32:49
you feel like
32:50
i think man honestly it's like
32:53
it's just some stuff i got powerful
32:56
relationships so i can always man it but
32:58
it's a couple of things like i say i you
33:00
when you never really get that fair shot
33:02
the thing is with like fences with me
33:05
sway all it's gonna take is one one
33:07
record to catch for me
33:09
the thing is one record cat
33:11
i got so much music the rest is going to
33:14
carry us up because
33:15
you know
33:16
you know in the industry one thing can
33:18
change people's whole life yes with mine
33:21
i have so many things going i never
33:23
really i never really get that
33:25
opportunity you know i'm saying so
33:27
i think label wise
33:29
i still be able to focus doing the stuff
33:31
that i'm doing now
33:33
and have somebody assisting
33:36
with pushing what i need push
33:38
so
33:39
everything can go together because
33:42
like for instance off top
33:44
is it was growing and it's doing the
33:46
same but
33:47
i'm distracted off the single i just put
33:49
out because i'm out here doing this so
33:51
guess what when i'm doing this it ain't
33:53
nobody really pushing that like that so
33:55
i see what you mean i know i need it
33:57
it's not more of them
33:59
not more of them
34:01
like i can't do it without them it's
34:02
just more sometimes you just as well as
34:05
you you have a team when you can't get
34:06
it done you got heather and others that
34:09
don't
34:09
step in you know what i'm saying so for
34:11
me i think just
34:13
getting a fair one with that instead of
34:15
losing all these records that's why i
34:16
don't i'd be so hesitant to put them
34:18
out i'll get it because you got to
34:20
realize bro i'm not going if if
34:22
something happening across the world and
34:24
people need me i'm not going to tell
34:26
them man wait till i go do this concert
34:28
and let me get this record going i'm
34:30
you're going to be doing it
34:32

34:33
what it is
34:34

35:01
let them you know because they put that
35:03
you just a real dude street you grew up
35:06
in the streets but they'll
35:07
put that stigma on you
35:09
forever and it might get in the way of
35:12
you doing some of the things you do now
35:14
you know what i mean some people don't
35:16
know you from being in the streets like
35:17
that folks know you from this charitable
35:19
work you're doing like that's amazing
35:21
and incredible so it's great that you
35:22

35:24
so special because you do have that
35:26
balance and we we we we're not
35:28
monolithic we're not we're multifaceted
35:30
people and people try to define us from
35:32
things we may have done when we were in
35:34
our teenage years or our early 20s and
35:37
now you're older you ain't even you're
35:38
away from those things you grew you
35:40

35:42
