Product Review

A Miami native in the true Slip-N-Slide tradition, the bold-and-bad Trina is set to make an impactful label debut with a collection of real life rap reportage as told through what are sure to prove the year's meanest beats. Laying down lyrical vignettes of Southern-styled street life, the young hiphop correspondent moves with rhythmic ease from her title track, "Da Baddest B***h, to the sexcapade-filled dis-record, "B***h I Don't Need U" (featuring a blistering lyrical volley between the femals rap heir apparent and Mr. Trick Daddy himself). Certified at 500 thousand units by the RIAA. (2/01)
