Restless is the third studio album by American rapper Trae.[1] It was released on June 27, 2006 by G-Maab Entertainment, Rap-A-Lot Records, Asylum Records, and Atlantic Records. Despite the album becoming Trae's third official release through his independently-owned record label, G-Maab Entertainment, Restless serves as Trae's first commercial record to be released through Rap-A-Lot Records, Asylum Records, and Atlantic Records.

Music and lyrics[]

The album's ninth track, "The Truth", features a added guest verse from a fellow American rapper 2Pac, and 2Pac's verse on "The Truth" happens to be the same verse that 2Pac originally recorded for the song "Dumpin'", taken from 2Pac's posthumously-released studio album, Pac's Life (2006).
