During her free time in high school, Trina began writing rhymes until she caught the eye of Miami rapper Trick Daddy who offered the rapper a guest spot on his single “Nann Nigga” in 1998. The song became Trick Daddy’s lead single from his sophomore album “www.thug.com”, which reached No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100, and exposed Trina to huge audience. Due to the success Trina signed with Slip-n-Slide Records who issued her debut album “Da Baddest Bitch” in March 2001. Although the rapper failed to maintain creative control the album debuted at No. 33 on the Billboard 200, and stayed there for 29 weeks.
Working alongside Missy Elliot for her sophomore album, Trina had complete creative control over the release, which was released in August 2002. “Diamond Princess” debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the singles “Told Y’all” featuring Rick Ross, “No Panties”, and “B R Right” featuring Ludacris. The same year Trina launched her own label Diva Enterprises, which later became DP Entertainment, and signed the nine-year-old rapper Lil Brianna.
Trina’s third full-length album “Glamorest Life” was issued in October 2005 and out-performed both its predecessors, debuting at No. 11 on the Billboard 200. The album was led by the single “Don’t Trip” featuring Lil Wayne, and aided by the single “Here We Go” featuring Kelly Roland. After signing with EMI in 2007, Trina released two mixtapes “Rockstarr Royalty” and “Baddest Chick 2: Reloaded” ahead of her fourth full-length “Still da Baddest” in 2008. Reaching No. 6 on the Billboard 200, and No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop chart, the album sold 47,000 in its first week.
Led by the single “That’s My Attitude”, Trina’s fifth studio album “Amazin’” was released in May 2010, and later spawned the hits “Million Dollar Girl”, “White Girl”, and “Always”. In 2011 Trina released the mixtape “Diamonds Are Forever”, which featured the singles “Ghetto”, “Waist So Skinny”, and “Can I”. The single “Beam” arrived in July 2012 featuring GunPlay, as well as the single “Bad Bitch” featuring Lolo Monroe and Shawnna.
Named the most consistent female rapper of all time by XXL Magazine, Trina has had a successful career in the music industry. She has been celebrated for many years and was even ranked number 27 by Complex Magazine in their Top 50 Best Rap Songs by Women. From a young age she began writing rap songs, when her career finally took off after being noticed by the Miami rapper Trick Daddy in 1998, she later went on to appear in one of his singles. The popularity of the song meant she finally got signed to a record label and went on to work on her own debut album. Her first album was released in 2000 called 'Da Baddest Bitch', the album only made it onto the Hip Hop Songs Chart but wasn't hugely celebrated as she had hoped, it may have had something to do with the awful album name. Her second album however called 'Pull Over' did a lot better and her career grew following it. She has performed on stage with many singers and rappers over her career. It's refreshing to see a female rapper on the stage with some big names for once; she is a refreshing presence in the rap industry. She’s a natural on stage too, she knew how to get the fans in the mood by shouting out to all the girls in the audience and demanding everyone's hands were in the air as she bounded around the stage in rather impressive high heels. She had a lot of cheeky banter as she rapped about her tight jeans and wiggled her behind to the huge crowd, I've never been a huge fan of rap music but I have endless appreciation for Trina as one of very few women making it to stardom in the industry.
