Billboard Change Maker Award at the 2021
The Texas rapper is the second recipient to receive this award following
Killer Mike’s initial win last year for using music and “celebrity” status to impact change within their communities.
“It’s an honor to be recognized at the level that they are to come to reach to somebody like myself that’s in the field every day and still on the frontlines,” Trae tells
Billboard. “Definitely an honor and a humbling experience just being appreciated. You don’t really do things like this for those reasons, but it’s a bonus when people do actually value what you do.”
