Tre-8 (September 7, 1973 - May 28, 2011) (Walter McCallon) was an American rapper from New Orleans who was one of the first artists to release an album for the No Limit/Priority partnership.
He grew up in Christopher Homes development in the neighborhood of Algiers, located in the West Bank area of New Orleans. As a high school student, he played in the marching bands of L.B. Landry and O. Perry Walker high schools. His recording career began as a member of the group WestBank Coalition, which included himself (then known as MC P), J' Ro' J, Ice Mike, and T. Smooth. He released his debut album as a soloist, Fright Night, on Smoke 1 Records in 1995. He then signed to Master P's No Limit Records, and released the album Ghetto Stories on October 31, 1995, which rose to #84 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. He had a short feud beef with Master P and left No Limit and released the album Dey Scared of Me on Smoke 1 Records in 1996, which was followed by Nuttin But Drama in 1998 (released in partnership with South Coast Music Group). He also appeared on many recordings with his mentor and friend, the producer and rapper Ice Mike on albums including Slammin Theez Hoez, Ghetto, Do 'em Dirty and True 2 da Game. Tre-8 can also be heard on the novelty favorite for marijuana smokers "Smokus-Pokus" by Bigg Herb, the Code 6 LP Let's Go Get'Em, and a release by the Ghetto Twiinz. He was married to another New Orleans rapper, Cicely Crawford McCallon, who recorded under the name Ju'C in the early 1990s and who was shot to death in 2009. On May 28, 2011, Tre-8 was involved in a car crash. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died as a result of his injuries.

Because they know that we bout it and we straight get the club rowdy,
We ain't bout slappin' we cappin',
You gotta girl we gone mash it,
(scratching records) on the stage we gonna throw in a rage,
Cuttin' people like fades because they know that we paid,
We be keepin' they heads hurtin' for those seven days,
Or we don't try to creep cuz the clique too deep,
We got somethin' up in that trunk to put that ass to sleep,
So if you really don't wanna get put deep in a coma,
Best believe you gone be a goner,
Bombed like Oklahoma,
City me and my committee, you know we get busy,
My people standin' behind me and you might just get dizzy,
People askin' "Who is he?" Cuz you layin' up on the ground,
(record scratching) with the West Bank clowns,
Them Gert-Town hounds,
Now you found up on the ground with your ass face down,
Me and my niggas back in the club, bout to get it buck
[Chorus]
[Fourth Verse: Mr. Cheefa]
You see me comin' and you know I got that fire,
You take a puff and you know you be feelin' higher,
It's Mr. Cheefa with the fire cess,
On me you take a test and Smith & Wesson they will kill ya,
My crew be live or you don't really want no problems,
My people bout it, we don't think that you would want none,
We all for ruckus, we buckin' on other suckers,
You can get close, but just don't touch us

Chillin' on the cut sippin' Cris all day,

Well if you wanna come and smoke, then you must be a fiend,
Bring a dime over here, you have to see me,
