Maurice Young, better known as Trick Daddy, is an American rapper. Originally billed as Trick Daddy Dollars, and sometimes known as T-Double-D, he has been popular for making club hits such as "Shut Up" and "Let's Go".[1]
Music career
Young appeared on the track "Scarred" by former 2 Live Crew member Luther "Luke" Campbell from Luke's 1996 album Uncle Luke. The song became a hit and immediately caught the attention of fans and record producers alike. Ted Lucas, a former concert promoter and then-CEO of Slip-n-Slide Records, signed the rapper to the newly former record label. Slip-n-Slide released Trick Daddy Dollars's debut album Based on a True Story in 1997; the album was popular in the Miami area.[1]
In 1998, when his next album www.thug.com came out, Young removed "Dollars" from his stage name. Club-oriented track "Nann Nigga", featuring Trina, became a national hit, peaking at the third spot of the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart.[2] Atlantic Records signed Trick Daddy to the label in 2000 and released Book of Thugs: Chapter AK Verse 47 that year. "Shut Up", which Jason Birchmeier of allmusic considered "a rowdy club hit similar to 'Nann Nigga'",[1] followed "Nann" as the next single; featured guests on "Shut Up" were Deuce Poppito, Trina, and Co.
Thugs Are Us, released in 2000, featured the hit single "I'm a Thug", which reached #17 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] His fifth album Thug Holiday boasted "In da Wind", which Birchmeier believed was Trick Daddy's most creative single.[1] In 2004, Thug Matrimony: Married To The Streets was released, with hit single "Let's Go", produced by Lil Jon, featuring Twista, and sampling the guitar riffs from the Ozzy Osbourne hit "Crazy Train".[1] That year, Trick Daddy guest-performed on the Ying Yang Twins' "What's Happnin!", which reached #30 on the Hot 100, #7 on the Rhythmic Top 40, and #9 on the Hot Rap Singles.[3] "Let's Go" peaked on #7 on the Hot 100, #4 on the Rhythmic Top 40, and #4 on Hot Rap Tracks.[2] Back By Thug Demand followed in 2006,[1] with singles "Bet That" and "Tuck Ya Ice" charting at the bottom of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.[2]
Following Back By Thug Demand, Trick Daddy appeared on several singles by DJ Khaled: "Born-N-Raised" in 2006 from Listennn... the Album in 2006, "I'm So Hood" from We the Best, and "Out Here Grindin'" from We Global in 2008, all among numerous other rappers. "Born-N-Raised" peaked at #83 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles, and "I'm So Hood" peaked at #19 on the Hot 100 and #5 on the Hot Rap Tracks.[4] He appeared on Pitbull's 2007 album The Boatlift.[5] Trick Daddy left Slip-n-Slide in 2008 and has stated that his upcoming album Finally Famous: Born a Thug Die a Thug will be released under his own Dunk Ryders Records.[6]
Trick Daddy recently announced that he has the disease Lupus, which has greatly affected his skin, and that he has stopped taking medication to combat the disease.[7] The rapper's rationale for refusing treatment was that "I had to take a test or another medicine every thirty days or so to make sure that medicine wasn’t causing side effects dealing with kidney or liver failure."[8]
