Traevfx is one of the busiest music video directors in the state, churning out dynamic hip-hop singles with artists like Countablessin, Bando Da Opp and TheZeffsterr seemingly every week. In 2023, Trae produced some top-notch videos, including, but definitely not limited to, "OPEN UR EYES" by ZZZAY and LUI, "Domer Simpson" by K Roll, "Friday" by SidTiva and Courter, and "Blood Stains 2 / Ova Here," a two-part music video featuring Buddha2x and Donno. Ultimately, it's Trae's more intimate collab with Donna that took the cake in 2023. Colorful, cinematic and moving, "Burning Roses" is a rare soft touch from the exciting, young Iowa filmmaker.
