Yeah, been talking it. Hey, guys, you been.
Trina
You've been doing this, been doing this, been done that.
Tank
How does that feel like watching, you know, watching this new generation just kind of, like, pick up the pieces that you've just kind of inspired and just run with it in such a way and be recognized in such a way because you were a standalone. You were by yourself talking like this, and now it's like. It's common. This is what you supposed to do now.
Trina
Yeah, it's just like, I just look back and I just see all the new artists, the girls and stuff, and I could see, like, the form of inspiration or, like, the drive, the hunger, like, the sassiness, the. I want to be the boss. I want to get my money up my bags. I see all that, you know, and, you know, every day, it's just constantly growing a new generation of it growing every single day. It's. Wow.
Tank
Do you. Do you. Do you get those calls and get those DMs? And, like, you inspired me to do this.
Trina
You are the reason I get it all the time. I get it all the time.
Tank
Yeah, I get some of that. But it's like, the way they start. The sentence is like, unk. I'm like.
Unknown
Thought you embraced unk at the time.
Tank
No, I embraced it now, but in the beginning, it was like, og Unk. You didn't like it. You know what I'm saying? I was like, man, I'm still coloring my hair. You know what I'm saying? With the rewind. With the rewind, the time. I'm still trying to. I'm at the pool party, and they're like, just, hey, how'd you get in here? Like, who?
Jay Valentine
Oh, shit.
Tank
I bought a taster I bought a taste. Oh, Kansas, the older section is. First of all, thank you so much. Thank you so much for coming. We appreciate and value your time, for you are still cooking in these streets.
Trina
Thank you.
Tank
As we are on a show later on this week together. And it's dope to be on the show with you. I want to ask you about the beginning. I want to ask you about the beginning of Trina and you being in this Miami space and coming to terms with the fact that I have a gift, I have something to offer. And let me show you what that is. When did you identify that?
Trina
In the beginning, before even you guys knew me, I knew that I just kind of came up like that. I came up around a lot of women that were entrepreneurs, hardworking, successful women. You know, my aunt owned a bank.
Tank
Your aunt owned a bank?
Trina
Yeah, yeah.
Tank
Oh, shit.
Trina
Yeah. My mom's sister, she owns a bank. So what's the name of that? She passed away. This was years ago. I was really young, so I just kind of grew up in, like, the surroundings of just women, like, always leveling up, you know, businesses. Just seeing women be really profound, like, taking care of themselves always. You know, I didn't see, like, you know, I need. I didn't see, like, that. I didn't see, like, the women I grew up around, I didn't really see them sit around and wait for anything.
Unknown
They didn't have a handout.
Trina
No, it was. They were the hands. They were the hands that was handing out. You know, they was the bosses. They was the, you know, the women in the nice cars with the nice business, the nice home. This is the stuff I saw growing up all the time, all around me. So all my friends, this is what we. We aspire to be like, these women. How can we have our own money? I want my own car, my art. Like, this is the stuff that I, you know, wanted to see. So I always. That was before I even became. You guys know me. Like, I mean, I'm from Miami. This is a big place, so everybody already knew who I was just because of my upbringing. And then when I decided to do music, it just made it, like, you know, like 10 times even more intense. But I already had that vision. Like, when I started doing music, I fell in love with the women that were like, oh, my God, this is. You make me, you know, happy. Or that song you did, it was. Got me through my heartbreak, and I wanted to just kill my husband. And I just listened to you, and I just. So much of that. And I used to be like, you know, like, wow, you know, like my husband cheated and I gave him another chance. I'm not giving no more chances. So I was the one that was like, you know, wow, more power, the strength, the hugs, the love and the, the energy, the attitude, the, you know, the determination to be able to walk and stand on your own.
Tank
Yeah.
Trina
And I just, that was how I set myself up. Like everything I did, I wanted to do it. I wanted to make sure that my affairs was in order. I had everything that I needed. I had my own everything. And my business was organized like start like, you know, from the start. Like, I mean it's a, it's music, it's fun, we travel and we performing, but that's still a business. Like I never got so caught up in the fun to. I didn't understand the business. That's why 20 plus years later, I'm here because I understood the business from the beginning and I tell a lot of girls now, like, you know, they ask me for advice and stuff. I tell them that, like, it's all fun. You go out, you know, you got your ones, you in the club, you popping bottles, you having a good time. And you supposed to have a good time. You young, you live in life and we only get one life. But, but you need to be really precise, ideal and strategic about your business. Making sure that you are setting the ground for yourself, making sure you have for yourself, making sure you don't run into a brick wall and everything. The doors close and you like what all happened. The whole star went away. No, you got to, you got to, you got to understand that this is still a business. Even though for us it's still, it's a, it's a craft, it's art and people adore it, you know, and you do it for as long as you feel until you say, I don't want to do it no more.
Tank
That's right.
Trina
And that's still like running a business. I work for self. Die is self employed. Die must get up for self and run and handle her business.
Tank
Yeah.
Trina
So that's just how I kind of started.
Tank
So. So as you, as you talk, this boss talk.
Unknown
Yes, I love it, I love it.
Tank
Which is very exciting. Right? You, you, you, you had the foresight in terms of understanding, you know, to make sure the business was taken care of to be on top of your business. But I feel like also you understood all levels of the music business even before you even kind of embarked on it. So choosing to be a rapper was definitely a concise choice because Coming from these. These boss inspirations. Who owned you could have easily chose management or just be part of a label or just be like. You could have chosen all those things. What made you choose to be in front of the microphone to.
Trina
Because I felt like I was a star. I mean, to be in front of the camera.
Unknown
Talk that shit.
Tank
Yeah.
Trina
See, like this is the main stage. This is not the preview. This is the main stage. So I just. I always felt like that, you know, like I was just always the leader of the pack. Even with all my friends, my girls, I'm the person in charge. I'm making sure everybody outfits look a certain way. We going to this spot, we gonna sit in this section. Everybody got. That was me organized organization. All the girls gotta be looking this way. Like that was my thing. So I knew when I started doing music, I was gonna like run everybody crazy. Cause I knew exactly what I wanted.
Tank
Are you. Do you go as far as like. Yeah, yeah. You're not gonna be able to sit with us with that on. That's not gonna.
Trina
Oh, yeah. No. Look, you know what? Tonight this is not that my weird, like all black affair. You gonna have to change. No, it's respect. Like I. Right. I don't want you to look a crazy. Everybody knows that about me. Maybe you should wear something else. Like, what's the other option? Or you look beautiful. This is it. Like, that's just me. Everybody was an all black affair. Everybody's wearing black. Don't come in here with your sob story about why you have on yellow. We're not accepting it.
Unknown
Don't come in here with your sob.
Trina
Story organization like formation. Yeah, we're not doing that. So I just kind of structure like that because I just like to be organized and just this whole little, you know, thing.
Tank
There's a. Listen, there is a. There's a certain sexiness to order. Yeah, yeah. You understand what I'm saying? And when it look a certain way, because you know, we can speak from the guy's perspective. When we look at the section and the section is curated the right way. We want to send some flowers and some. And maybe a couple bottles to that section. Hey, you tell them that they doing the right shit over there.
Trina
That's a good section right there.
Tank
That's a good section right there.
Unknown
You never want to have to tell one of the homies. You, you got to take one for the team. You see the one in that yellow?
Trina
That's you, Ross, with the sob story.
Unknown
You got to take one for the team tonight, dog.
Tank
No, man, you don't want to do.
Unknown
Your homies like that.
Tank
Jake up, we need you, man. They wanted the yellow. The one in the yellow, that's you. We gonna focus on all black.
Unknown
So let's get to these records, right? So you're curating your section and the homies, and y'all moving a certain way.
Tank
And then.
Unknown
Nan, nigga.
Tank
Oh, my God.
Trina
So now the way you just even.
Unknown
Come in on the record, Is that.
Tank
The first rap song you record or are you already.
Trina
No, that was the first rap song I recorded. That was a. That was kind of like me doing a favor for Trick. It wasn't really, like, it turned into a record, but that's not initially what it started out as. It started out as, you know, before I even heard the record, Trick was, like, kind of on the phone, kind of like just talking, rapping, whatever he was gonna say on.
Tank
Hold on, can I go back to you and Trick getting on the phone? How do y'all meet? Is this how you met?
Trina
I met Trick when I was in school. Like, way younger. We was in school, but Trick ended up going to jail, so I've never seen him no more until he was out of jail. He was grown, but this was way years later, and I think, like, six, seven years after. And then he always will say he wanted to music. He wanted to rap so bad. And like all of our girls, he would always be rapping and stuff. We used to be like, okay, already, go shop a deal. We're not a record label, like, already. And so once he got out of jail, he really, like, all the raps that he was rapping in jail or whatever, he brought it all out, and he went directly to Luke to go do music. And he did a song. He did his whole thing over there. And then after that, he got signed to Slip N Slide Records. And then it was like, okay, you elevate. You move from one thing to the next. And then he had put out an album on Slip N Slide, so we just already knew him, so we always would support him, go to the videos. You know, me and my girls just hang out and just go show him love. And. Cause he really got out of jail and did, like, said, I wanted to do music. And then so now it's the second album time. And then he just called me one day. It was me and my friends in the car. We was on our way, I think, to the flea market or something like that. And he was just like, hey, I want you guys to come by the studio. And we was like, no, it's gonna be a whole bunch of people over there. Like, no. What for? He was like, no, no, no. It's just gonna be me. And he was calling out the names, and we was like, Cause I'm the person that always say, who are gonna be over there. That's me. I'm always there. Who's all over there? So he was kind of saying, who was over there? So it wasn. So we was like, what do you want, Trick? And then he was just like, I want you. I need you, Trina, to come, like, talk on this song. I need you. Just come get on this song. I was like, get on this song and do what? And he was like, I'm gonna let you hear it. And he just started saying it on the phone. And I was like, what are you saying? You don't know Nan? Like, what? He was like, nan, Nan. And I was like, nan, meaning, like, nobody's better than you. Like, nan. Like, nothing is better. And then he was like, yeah. And I was like, all right, we'll see. So we came over, and when I got to the studio, he played the record, and I was like, what in the hell is happening here?
Tank
He wasn't feeling it.
Trina
It was. No, it wasn't. I was feeling it. It was just like, whoa. Like, he was just talking. You know, you guys heard the record. He was talking crazy. And so mind you, it's just him on the hook and just saying it. And then he was, like, verbally saying his verse. It wasn't done yet, though. It was just kind of. So I was like, well, what the hell am I going to be doing on the record? And then he was like, no, I just need you to go in there, take your friends. I had my girlfriends with me, My God sister, and some of my homegirls. And just all y'all go in the booth and just. Just. I need you to just, like, talk the talk. Like, I need you to just like. It's like guy versus girl. So if a guy is just kind of coming at you aggressive and, you know, whatever, I need you to just go like 10 times and say that you gonna hear what I'm saying. And you just go off of that.
Tank
Respond back to him.
Trina
And so I'm in there, I'm saying all kind of stuff. And my friend's like, no, that's not nasty enough. Say this. And we take your stuff away. We laugh. It was just a production, this day in the studio. And so when it was finally done, he had left Trick, left studio, so it was just us Ourselves, Me and my girls and the engineer. And so when it was done, we called him and told him it was finished. And then he came back and heard it. And then he called the label owner from the Slip N Slide Records, and then he heard it, and he was like, that is not Trina. And then we was like, yes, it is. And then the rest was history. I got to deal with Atlantic Records from the song.
Tank
And so at that. So you weren't even trying to.
Trina
No, they were trying to sign me for a couple months, like three, four months to the label. I was like, no, I'm just doing a favor. I don't know.
Unknown
I was like, well, you said no at first, too.
Trina
Yeah, I was like, no. I was like, I'm just doing. I just went to talk and do a favor. Like, you know, just talk my talk. Like, you know how you hear songs and you hear a girl, somebody in the background, they arguing. She's not actually a artist, she's just somebody in the background or somebody, you know, your friend. And she just. And then they were like, no. And Atlantic Records was like, who is that? And I was like. I kept saying no. They were harassing me. Days and days and days, they were harassing me. Yeah. So I went. It was Trick's birthday party right after, and they was trying to release the record, and they want coming his birthday party. I was like, okay, cool, I'll come. So I go to the birthday party. I know he's gonna perform and do his thing, but I'm just here in full support, me and my friends. And as we there, they played the record, he was going to perform, and they stopped playing his records. He stopped playing some songs. And then I remember the record came on, and they told me, well, we want you to come out on the record. I was like, absolutely not. Like, it's not gonna happen. It's just not. It's not gonna happen. And so I remember it was like, it was a club. It wasn't a really big club. The stage was not so big. So we were like behind the stage in this little VIP area. That's where the party was at before you get out to the main part. And he came on the stage and he started performing. So I'm in the back standing by the curtain. You know, we stand up, me and my girls, we looking, we just partying, having a good time. And so they kept saying, you have to come out. I kept saying, I'm not coming out. And when the song came on him and like, one of my other friend guys they came, they pushed the curtain to show the crowd it was me. Like, this is the girl. Yeah, like this is the girl who's saying it. And as soon as they did that, they were like trying to grab me to come to the stage. And the girls, like, right when I was talking a little, like, hold up, hold up, hold that little part. I was standing right there and the girls in the crowd, like just said every word to the song I'm talking about. I didn't open my mouth and say nothing. I was just standing there looking like, what? And it was. That's how it just started. That's exactly how it happened.
Tank
Was that the bug? Was that the thing that said, like.
Unknown
I need to feel that again?
Trina
Yeah, no, it was one more after that. Nah, that still wasn't that. That was the one thing. So then after that, Nadia invited me. This was a performance. This was like the first performance of Trick's new album. It said, a college town is in Tallahassee Famuk. So we gonna go to Tallahassee. So we all excited, like, okay, we'll go, let's go. And that was the bug. That was the one. Because it was like, this is a big venue, it's a big stage and I mean, the song is 1 vert, like 1 dabar. So by the time Trick, he had, like, he didn't really do a lot of songs from like the previous project. He had did a couple songs from that and maybe it's like a 30 minute set. So this song now particularly was the last song that he do. And when it came on, you could just see the, like the crowd just inflaming. Everybody's going nuts. And now it's time for me to come out. And then you just hear the girls, everybody just screaming. I could hear them in the back. I'm looking, peeking. And so by the time I came back at this time, I had came with like my friends, some dancers, everybody, a whole full production. And then we came out and I did the song and I don't know, I was like, what is going on? Like, what did I create? I'm talking. I mean, I literally didn't have to say nothing. They said the whole song. Like, I couldn't even. I was like, I was starstruck, like, looking at them like, what? And then that's. That was it.
Unknown
And you still don't have a deal yet. Are you at this point, do you have the deal? Have you given in? And actually, did you?
Trina
I think I had the deal at the Tallahassee thing. I think right after Tallahassee. I did the deal.

So were you able to since.
Trina
Yeah, right after that.
Unknown
So now you have this hit record that's out. You kind of playing cat and mouse with the label. Are you able to create a bidding war? Or do you say I'm still going this way though?
Trina
Well, it wasn't obedient. It was just Atlantic. They just came through with that pressure like this is what they want to do. This is the deal. They gonna merge with Slip and Slide. This is the deal coming through this Trick and Trina Record XYZ and it was a great deal and we just. I did it and they immediately well, cause this was 19. This was in 98. Then the record came out and then we went on like all these different tours like right after for the whole straight year. But in the midst of that whole year of touring off this record, that's when I was creating my album. So it came out in 2000. Right. Directly right after the record. So it went from that to that and it just started.
Tank
Cause it's like you were just having a good time.
Unknown
Yeah.
Tank
You were just having fun and stumbled on.
Trina
Yeah.
Unknown
And you were able to in a sense, practice with a hit record.
Tank
Yeah. Cause nobody gets to do that.
Unknown
Yeah. Usually people go out there, don't nobody know them. They don't know your song.
Trina
Oh yeah. And then I had in the midst of that, another thing. Cause right when one that we did now, I had. Did. What's your fantasy remix with Ludacris.
Unknown
Oh, yeah.
Trina
So that record was born. So I had two records, and so I would go on the road with Ludacris, go on the road with Trix. So back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
Tank
You was hot.
Trina
Yeah, it kind of happened. Real, real. All this is before I put out my first single on my album. So I had both of those records, like, out the gate.
Unknown
Are you doing any shows by yourself or you just like, okay, I'm gonna just do their shows with them?
Trina
No, I just did the shows with them. I didn't do no shows by myself until my album came out, because then it was all me.
Unknown
Okay.
Trina
Yeah.
Unknown
So you waited. Yeah, you waited.
Trina
Because I was. And while I was doing it, I had just got the deal signed, and then Atlantic was, like, requesting I put the album out, like, right away. Like, you know, they wave.
Tank
Yeah, yeah.
Trina
Yes. And so I did it within the year while I was on the road working with them.
Unknown
So when you do your deal, because we like to ask, you get your check.

Get your check. I know what you buy.
Trina
What you buy. I didn't buy anything, actually.
Unknown
Nothing.
Trina
Nope. I actually. This is just funny. I didn't buy nothing. I gave the check to my mom, actually. And my mom. Well, I. I had introduced my mom into, like, buying properties, buying stuff, flipping it, and, you know, buying, selling, whatever. And so when I first got the check or whatever, it was like, I was already working and I was good. I was making money, so I didn't really need the check.
Unknown
Yeah.
Trina
So I just gave it to her and here I go. My album came out. The first year, we worked on the album. I'm doing videos, I'm traveling, touring, whatever. The second year came, I'm still in the world. I'm working, but I'm getting. Creating my second album at the same time. And by the time the second album had dropped and came out, I believe it was like, when the album came out, I want to say, like, right after, like, I had, like a album release party or something or whatever. And then my mom gave me the check back, but it was double the money she just took. She just doubled it, like, whatever. She was flipping out. So I had, like, a double check. So I did. I just really had it. I didn't have a. Like. Yeah. I didn't have a use to, like, getting up there because I kind of had everything. Like, I had three cars. I Had a house. I had everything I wanted. Like, I was just young, traveling the world, doing what I want to do. I didn't. You know what I mean? I didn't really need nothing like that, except, let's just live life, wake up and get the album done.

Tank
Okay. Anyway, so give me just your disposition and how you're feeling. Going from. Okay, yes. I'm just jumping on stage with Trick. I'm just jumping on stage with Luda. Now it's. Now it's just your name on the marquee. It's just you. How are you feeling at this point? Cause you all. From what you've stated, you've already felt bossy, right?
Trina
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Tank
But now this has to take your boss level to a whole.
Trina
Oh, I was out of control. I was out of control. No, I. I just felt. I really. It just really, like, separated me, you know, from what I was already doing to what I just Already wanted to do myself. Like, I'm in charge. This is the ticket is about me. So everything that's I'm bringing to this show and to this platform, I'm doing it on my own. Like, I'm calling the shots. I want the sound to sound like this. I want the stage like this. I want dancers. I want. You know, like, Trick ain't really have dance and stuff. He was just a guy. He used to get up there and rap. I wanted a production, so I want to turn it different. And, yeah, it was different.
Unknown
So did you hire from within, like, as far as from Miami, or did you, like, do the whole who's the biggest choreographer?
Trina
Or. You know what? I did it kind of here first because we have a lot of, like, we had a lot of great dancers, a lot of grants. I mean, great dancers, you know, they. They travel, they dance here, they dance Atlanta, they dance California, like, all the, you know, artist videos and tours and stuff. So I already came in with that. Like, Miami is a big known place for dance teams and dancing.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah.
Trina
So that was easy to find. That was easy to get that. So, yeah, I kind of constructed that. That's, like, right here.
Unknown
That's dope.
Tank
I love that. And your first solo tour is. Is with who?
Trina
Myself. It was myself.
Unknown
But you didn't have to really, so you didn't have to do the promo run, though.
Trina
Promo.
Tank
She did, like, the promo run with.
Unknown
I mean, as far as, like. Yeah, but you did that with Trick and with Ludic. I'm saying, once your project came, you were already getting paid to do shows.
Trina
Yeah, but I still did promo, though.
Unknown
You still did it, though?
Trina
I did still do a lot of promo, yeah. Because once you see kids that don't.
Unknown
Want to do promo.
Trina
No, no, no. You. Promo. I definitely did promo. I definitely did those radio dates. I definitely did those, you know, go to the radio station, show love, whatever they needed. I did that also. Cause then again, when it was my album and then, you know, I did my single, and then I had my single with Kelly Rowland, and so it was definitely mandatory for promo. It was definitely, like, a marketing strategy behind it, and I definitely had to still take, like, it was dates that I would. That I would be booked. It was for me to, like, perform, but I would take radio dates in with that also. I had to. And I mean, I didn't care because I was. Sometimes I would do two shows in a day. Yeah, sometimes. So I'll do a show. Two shows in one city or two shows in one city. Another show or after party somewhere else or a show here and a show somewhere else. Fly here or drive here. So it was kind of like every day, you know. So I added promo into that with radio, like kind of on the run. I didn't have a problem with that though.
Tank
I think like when we were talking about, you know, just younger artists and artists who've. Who've kind of in this new generation have more subscribed to online promo versus in person promo. Like there's a difference in touching the people in those artists who've actually gone to all those B and C markets and left their mark there. Because I can. I know for a fact you can go anywhere, anywhere down south, anywhere and get a full. You can go anywhere and get a bag. And that is a result of those promo runs, man. Just going to touch the people doing those luncheons showing up. Listen, I done shown up to what he doing to the hair salon. Listen, we had a. In Chattanooga. No, wasn't that Charleston, South Carolina? Fill up your tank with tank. And I was pumping the gas. This was. Oh shit, six in the morning. But it's a line as far as I can see. And I am pumping gas. I'm shaking hands and. And was. There's no babies. It's early morning. But I'm shaking hands and giving hugs at the gas station. And I think, you know, for us coming up in those times, I think that's been a saving grace and the difference in. In us being able to stand the test of time because we're connected to people.
Trina
Yeah.
Tank
We're not just connected online. But then you add the fact that you have legendary music and you have legendary Persona, which I think these new young female artists are snatching pieces of and trying to, you know, say, yeah.
Unknown
No, I love the way that you've. That you've embraced all the newer artists too that have come along. You know what I mean? Cause everybody isn't always receptive of, you know, what's coming. But I feel like it's done nothing but continue to push you higher up. Cause you just move in such grace. Yeah, it's really cool to watch and really cool to see and see all the artists that have come after you celebrate you. I'm watching it like in real time. Soon as they start talking, they're like. And Trina.
Tank
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown
And that's just really, really cool. Really cool to see. But the things that you've done early on too with you and Trick Daddy had the most amazing chemistry like you said, with the back and Forth with your records. Like, shut up and take it to the house. Like, y'all got records that they still play right now. Right now, for sure. But even just like get the arena going.
Tank
Records.
Unknown
How did it feel to have a record like that? Like a take it to the house where you can. Any football game, you go to, basketball game, anything sporting event. Because that's not like, okay, yeah, we at the club and it's gonna get us burned. No, this is little kids in there yelling, take it to the house.
Trina
Having fun. Everybody's having a good time. That's a great feeling, you know, like we got a chance to perform that record at the halftime for the Dolphins game right before the Super Bowl. And you know, like you said, it's like, you know, it's just kids. Everybody. It was just one of those records that everybody's having a good time. They just listen to the beat. They just listening to the whole harmony and us just talking and, you know, and it's just a fun record. I think that's like a universal record. It's a record you could put on the party, a barbecue, you know, a game, a kickback, whatever you want to put it on. And it's just one of those records that has still been standing.
Jay Valentine
