Early life
Trina's father is from the Dominican Republic,[11][12][13] and her mother is from The Bahamas.[13] They were separated while she was growing up. She lived in Liberty City and in Pembroke Isle, Florida.[14] Trina attended Miami Northwestern Senior High School,[6][15] where she was a majorette,[16] and graduated in 1992.[17]
Music career
1998–2000: Career beginnings and Da Baddest Bitch
In her spare time, Trina wrote rap rhymes, which caught the attention of Miami rapper Trick Daddy, who approached her in 1998 to be featured on his song "Nann Nigga". The song later became the lead single from his second studio album, www.thug.com, which was released in September 1998. The single became a hit, reaching number 62 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the Rap Songs chart. Thanks to the success of the single, Trina gained popularity and signed a record deal with Slip-n-Slide Records with distribution from Atlantic Records. She subsequently began work on her debut album.
In an online interview for Crusade magazine, Trina commented that on this album, much of the work was done for her; she did not have creative control, but simply delivered lyrics. "Everybody was like we got this beat, we got this, we got that, we want you to get in there and write to this track, write to this song, write to this topic." On March 21, 2000, Trina's debut album Da Baddest Bitch was released.[18] The album debuted at number 33 on the US Billboard 200 and number 11 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[19]Da Baddest Bitch was certified Gold in November 2000 by the RIAA.[20] It stayed on the Billboard 200 chart for 39 weeks and on the Hip-Hop/R&B album chart for 49 consecutive weeks.[21]
The album was preceded by the lead single "Da Baddest Bitch" in February 2000. It failed to chart on any but the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, on which it reached number 64. The second and final single from the album, "Pull Over", was released in June 2000 and became a mild hit as it reached number 83 on the Hot 100, number 46 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number 41 on the Rap Songs chart.[22][23]
2000–2003: Diamond Princess, Record Label
After promotion for her debut album ended in mid-2000, Trina began recording music with Missy Elliott to create her second studio album.[24] Recording sessions lasted from 2000 to 2002. Trina was able to choose her own production, name the songs, and write whatever she wanted to write. She told TheCrusade.net, "It's more what Trina's about, how Trina looks, how Trina feels, the things that Trina consists of."[25]
On August 27, 2002, Trina released her second album Diamond Princess.[26] It debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200 and number five on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It sold 67,000 units in its first week.[27]
The album spawned three singles. The lead single, "Told Y'all", featuring Rick Ross, was released in July 2002 and reached number 64 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[28] The second single, "No Panties", featuring Tweet, was released in January 2003 but only reached number 88 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. However, it became Trina's first single to chart outside of the US, as it reached number 45 on the UK Singles Chart. The third and final single from the album, "B R Right", featuring Ludacris, was also released in January 2003 and reached number 83 on the Hot 100, number 50 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number 24 on the Rap Songs chart, becoming a fairly successful single.
Trina also started her own record label, Diva Enterprises (now DP Entertainment), and by September 2002 had signed an artist, Lil Brianna, who was nine years old and working on her first album. Lil Brianna had already appeared on the track "Kandi." Lil Brianna is now known as Brianna Perry and is now signed to Atlantic Records, Trina's former label.
2005–2006: Glamorest Life
Trina's third studio album, Glamorest Life, was released on October 4, 2005.[29] It debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200,[30] number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and number two on the Top Rap Albums chart. It sold 77,000 units in its first week.[27]
The album was preceded by the lead single, "Don't Trip", featuring Lil Wayne, in June 2005. The single wasn't largely successful, as it only reached number 74 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The second and final single from the album, "Here We Go", featuring Kelly Rowland, was released in September 2005. The single reached 17 on the Hot 100, number eight on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number three on the Hot Rap Songs chart. It also reached the Top 20 in most countries worldwide, becoming Trina's first majorly successful single. The single was certified Gold in the US in June 2006.[20]
In 2007, Trina left Atlantic Records and signed to EMI in conjunction with her original label, Slip-n-Slide Records.[31]
In December 2005, Trina appeared on the soundtrack of the film Boss'n Up with Snoop Dogg and Lil Jon.
2007–2008: Mixtapes, Still Da Baddest, Pretty Money
In 2007, Trina began work on her fourth studio album. To give fans a preview, she released two mixtapes: Rockstarr Royalty and the Baddest Chick 2: Reloaded. Both were largely successful, with the first released in early 2007 and the latter released in the fall of 2007. Trina originally planned for her fourth studio album to be released in February 2008, but it was delayed by a few months in order for her to put finishing touches on the record.[32]
Trina's fourth studio album, Still da Baddest was released on April 1, 2008.[32] It reached number six on the Billboard 200, number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and number one on the Top Rap Albums chart, becoming her first album to top the charts. First-week sales were 47,000.[33]
The album was preceded by the lead single "Single Again" in November 2007. It reached number 25 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100, number 59 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number 19 on the Rap Songs chart, becoming a mild hit. The second single from the album, "I Got a Thang for You", featuring Keyshia Cole, was released in February 2008 and reached number 21 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 and number 59 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, making it a fairly successful single. The third and final single from the album, "Look Back at Me", featuring Killer Mike and produced by Hard Hat Productions, was a regional hit club record.
In 2008, Trina created the Miami-based female rap duo Pretty Money, with members Nisha and An-G. The group was to be featured on Trina's fifth studio album, but this never came about. The duo has yet to release any music.[34] Following the creation of the group, Trina began work on her fifth studio album in 2009 and 2010.
2009–2010: Amazin'
The lead single from Trina's fifth studio album, "That's My Attitude", was released in August 2009. It was dubbed a buzz single. A mixtape, Amazin' (The Mixtape), was released in November 2009 in promotion of her fifth studio album. Another mixtape, The Definition Of A Million Dollar Girl, was released in January 2010 following the release of her fifth studio album's second single.
Nude pictures of Trina leaked in February 2010, and she appeared on The Mo'Nique Show in March 2010 to address this.
Trina's fifth studio album, Amazin', was released on May 4, 2010. It debuted at number thirteen on the Billboard 200, number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, number two on the Top Rap Albums chart, and number one on the Billboard Independent Albums chart. The album sold over 32,000 copies in its first week.[35][36] Despite its low sales, the album received near positive reviews from critics. The album was preceded by the second single, "Million Dollar Girl", featuring Diddy and Keri Hilson, in January 2010. The single was very successful, as it reached number 61 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and number 20 on the Rap Songs chart. "My Bitches" was going to be released as the album's third single in July 2010, but its release was canceled. The album's third single, "Always", featuring Monica, was released in April 20, 2010 and reached number 42 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. A fourth single, "White Girl", featuring Flo Rida and Git Fresh, was released in June 2010 but failed to chart.
