420TV gets animated with rapper Trae

420TV has ordered 10 new episodes of Trae tha Truth

Forthcoming cannabis-themed OTT channel 420TV has partnered with hip-hop artist Trae tha Truth to revive his eponymous animated comedy series.

Trae tha Truth is based loosely on the rapper’s own life and is produced by White Oak Music Group.

The series is voiced by Trae, with help from his friends and fellow rappers such as Snoop Dogg, Marlon Wayans, Riff Raff, Omar Epps and B-Real.

420TV has ordered 10 new episodes of the show and acquired 30 existing episodes, which were first launched on the internet in 2012.

420TV is set to launch globally online and through a dedicated mobile app this spring and the new episodes of Trae tha Truth are expected to debut in early summer.

“Beyond the hilarity of Trae’s adventures is the story of a true survivor who overcame challenge after challenge navigating the streets of Houston on his way to greatness,” said Alex Nahai, a 420TV partner who facilitated the deal.
