Self-proclaimed "baddest bitch" Trina is a Miami-based rapper whose path to R&B/hip-hop fame came via Trick Daddy in the late '90s. But now Trina's on her own and championing a sound that--especially with Keiysha Cole on her new single--reminds us of late-'90s urban slow-jams like 702's "Steelo" and KP & Envi's "Shorty Swing My Way."
Miami native Katrina Taylor better known as Trina debuted in 1998 on Slip-N-Slide label mate Trick Daddy's "Nann," and quickly became a household name in Hip-Hop. With female rappers from the South not making much noise back then, Trina earned national attention. Adding a Southern twist to the explicit style that rappers like Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown had blown up off; Trina easily became the queen of the South. But her first two albums, Platinum selling debut album Da Baddest B***h (2000) and Gold album Diamond Princess (2002) focused on the raw and raunchy style that made her famous, followed by another Gold album entitled Glamorous Life in 2005, now the world patiently awaits the release of her fourth solo album entitled Still Da Baddest.
