TRICK
DADDY
Thug Matrimony:
Married to the
Streets
Even in the rap
game, not many
artists are as
thuggish as Trick
Daddy Dollars.
The Miami rapper
with a long rap
sheet came perilously
close to a felony
third strike in
2003, but Trick
avoided the most
serious charges
and continued
to work on his
recently released
album, “Thug
Matrimony: Married
to the Streets.”
Luckily for Trick
Daddy, in the
rap music industry,
trouble with the
law serves to
protect the credibility
of rappers, whose
success is built
on a foundation
of street credentials.’Thug
Matrimony’
incorporates sounds
ranging from crunk
to R&B to
soul. The Lil’
Jon-fueled “Let’s
Go” is one
of the hottest
crunk tracks out
right now. Twista
is also featured,
and his rapid-fire
lyricism is a
good contrast
to the deliberate
beat sampled from
an Ozzy Osbourne
track. Trick Daddy
was already quietly
ahead of the game
for years, and,
with .’Thug
Matrimony’,
he reaches a new
level of artistry.
