Trick Daddy returns with a flawless seventh album, aptly titled Back By Thug Demand, released through Atlantic Records on February 26th. This set remains true to his decade-long, on-the-scene reporting from the mean streets of his Miami-Dade County stomping grounds.Bringing 15 southern heavy new tracks to the table, rich with gangsta attitude and street truths, Trick Daddy leads us through his story. We ride from the ghetto to the club confirming he remains, despite a fistful of platinum albums, a true and uncompromising thug. The club banging ‘Bet That’ featuring Chamillionaire has already made its mark in the clubs. In addition to this, are collaborations with the likes of Youngbuck, Trey Songz, Jaheim and Trina (with whom he famously collaborated on the classic “Na’an N****”), Back By Thug Demand, is the defining album of Trick “Double D’s” career to date.Trick Daddy’s deep, soul-drenched baritone unapologetically reveals honest, first hand accounts of life inside the ugly underbelly of America’s inner cities on his heart-wrenching prophecies. One of these revealed realities is the visually graphic metaphor “Chevy” where Trick compares his own hard times to a dead, beat up ride. Backed by his own rising artists Dunk Ryders on “Shorty Wanna Be A Thug”, the crew pays homage in remembrance of fallen soldiers lost to the grave and the penitentiary. Whilst holding a mirror to society and yet maintaining the uncompromising imagery in the straight-talking testimonial of his own experience, Trick plays a unique character in hip hop combining orator with subject matter itself, keeping it real at all times. “I put people on the level where they can relate and understand what other people go through. My music comes from personal experience. It’s all hand-to-hand combat when dealing with the realities of life.”Trick Daddy
