Da Baddest by Trina (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Da Baddest by Trina, Sesali Bowen The award-winning, platinum selling rapper, songwriter, and television personality shares her unforgettable story of coming of age in Miami, her inevitable rise to stardom, and her enduring legacy as a Hip-Hop Icon. Growing up in the Liberty City area of Miami, Florida, Katrina "Trina" Taylor spent her childhood feeling relatively sheltered by her mother and stepfather. Trina and her mother had an unbreakable bond and Liberty City felt like a playground made just for her. And even at a young age, Trina knew what she wanted: to be a powerful, successful, and magnetic woman, a woman who was entirely self-reliant and independent. She dreamed of becoming a dancer, sexy and sparkling in the background of rap music videos she saw being filmed around Liberty City. Little did she know, shed eventually be the star of the videos, and a founding Queen of rap. In Da Baddest, Trinas voice is, as always, powerful, insightful, witty, and provocative, while also showcasing her vulnerability and deep love for her family, home, and music. This evocative look into Trinas upbringing and life as a rap icon proves why she is the blueprint, how she helped pave the way for the future of female rappers and hip-hop artists, and why no one but her can hold the title of "The Baddest B*tch."

Review "An open and revealing account from the first lady of Slip-N-Slide Records. Theres a vulnerability here thats not typically associated with Trinas bold, brash and provocative persona on wax. The heyday of Miamis music scene is a story thats been told in memoirs from her male peers - Uncle Luke, Trick Daddy, and Rick Ross. But its refreshing to view it through the lens of a womans perspective. And were not talking about just any woman here. Were talking about Da Baddest." -NEIL MARTINEZ-BELKIN, New York Times bestselling author of The Autobiography of Gucci Mane (Simon & Schuster, 2017) and Hurricanes: A Memoir (Hanover Square Press, 2019, with Rick Ross) "Reading Da Baddest feels like youre stepping into a time machine, coming out on the other side with a first class seat alongside one of the most prolific rappers to ever to do it. This necessary and long overdue biography not only chronicles Trinas career, but also contextualizes the formative figures, neighborhoods, houses, and experiences that literally made her Da Baddest. Youd be a fool to not have this on your shelf." -NADIRAH SIMMONS, author of First Things First: Hip-Hop Ladies Who Changed the Game (Twelve, 2024) and founder of the Gumbo "This memoir is a glimpse into the REAL Trina. The highs, the lows, the triumphs, and the trials. Its raw, honest, and filled with the wisdom and experiences that have shaped her into the powerhouse she is today. Trina has never been afraid to speak her truth, and that authenticity shines through in every word. Whether riding high on success or facing personal battles, shes proven a female MC can be fearless, strong, sexy, and successful without losing themselves. Trina has and will always be the baddest and her journey is a moving testament of faith, growth, and an unwavering spirit of resilience; a reminder that with grit and grace, we can all rise to greatness." -MONA SCOTT-YOUNG, founder of Violator and creator of Love & Hip-Hop Details ISBN1668008769 Publisher Simon & Schuster Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781668008768 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-10-08 Imprint Simon & Schuster Audience General Pages 256 Author Sesali Bowen Language English ISBN-10 1668008769 UK Release Date 2024-10-08 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
