The goal of helping the special needs community is personal for Trae, who is the father of a son with special needs.
“Every aspect of Howdy Homemade encompasses the special needs of the huge under-employed segment of our population with one goal: To change the way businesses hire people with special needs,” the company’s website explains. “Today in North Texas alone, there are over 240,000 special needs adults looking for work.”
In addition to the opening of a Howdy Homemade Ice Cream shop, the rapper is partnering with Brooklyn Nets star James Harden to give away 10 scholarships to students on Trae Day.
Earlier this week, Trae dropped a new single, “June 27th,” off his upcoming project. Check it out here.
