Restless is the third studio album by American rapper Trae. 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" occurs to be the same verse that 2Pac originally recorded for the song, "Dumpin'", from which was taken from 2Pac's posthumously-released studio album, Pac's Life (2006).
