DX News Bits: Trae's "Houston For Haiti" Event, Anthony "Scoe" Walker

On Monday night, Houston rapper Trae Tha Truth joined fellow Texan and former labelmate at Rap-a-Lot Records, Bun B during a show organized to help raise donations for the victims of last week's 7.0 earthquake in Haiti. It is not clear how much the 'Houston For Haiti' event raised, although the Houston Press estimated an amount close to $10,000.

Vince Young, a Houston native and quarterback for the Tennessee Titans also made an appearance, presenting Bun B with a relief check of $2,000. Others showed up to the event, including Slim Thug, the Botany Boyz, and Brian Andrews from Day26.

In other news, producer and A&R Anthony "Scoe" Walker has launched his new artist development agency, Temp Music Management. Having produced tracks for artists like 8ball and MJG, talent on Bad Boy Records, and serving as A&R during Rick Ross's Rise to Power, project through Suavehouse Records, Walker's aim is to "utilize his relationships with music executives, lawyers, and producer's to consult new talent on what they need to make themselves label ready," before artists meet with record labels.

Walker will launch the new website in February, and has brought on producer and former Bad Boy artist Mario Winans, co-manager of R&B group 112, Monica, and Jagged Edge Kevin Wales, and others as executives of the development company.
