Maurice Samuel Young (born September 23, 1974), better known by his stage name Trick Daddy, is an American rapper, actor, and producer from Miami's Liberty City. ==Music career== Trick appeared on the track "Scarred" by former 2 Live Crew member Luther "Luke" Campbell, Produced by Darren "DJ Spin" Rudnick, 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 formed record label. Slip-n-Slide released Trick Daddy Dollars' debut album ''Based on a True Story'' in 1997; the album was popular in the Miami area. In 1998, when his next album ''www.thug.com'' was released, Trick 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. 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 Trick's "rowdiest club hit yet",〔 was the lead single from Book of Thugs. His next single, "America" (featuring Society), was a poignant political track that writer Omar Burgess compared to other sociological tracks in Trick's catalog such as "Ain't No Santa". ''Thugs Are Us'', released in 2001, featured the hit single "I'm a Thug" (released March 20, 2001) which reached #17 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.〔 His fifth album ''Thug Holiday'' boasted "In da Wind", which Birchmeier believed was Trick Daddy's most creative single.〔 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".〔 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. "Let's Go" peaked on #7 on the Hot 100, #4 on the Rhythmic Top 40, and #4 on Hot Rap Tracks.〔 ''Back By Thug Demand'' followed in 2006,〔 with singles "Bet That" and "Tuck Ya Ice" charting on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.〔 This album launched the career of Trick Daddy's Group, Dunk Ryders with their record "Damn Right" featuring Dray Skky, and Trick's Joint Venture Label Deal with Cash Money Records. 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. He appeared on Pitbull's 2007 album ''The Boatlift''. Trick Daddy left Slip-n-Slide in 2008 and released his 8th studio album ''Finally Famous: Born a Thug Still a Thug'' on September 25, 2009, under his own Dunk Ryder Records. In late 2010 Trick Daddy formed a new label Trick Daddy Music Group, signing fellow rappers Kasino, A-Dot, Dutch Dirty and 2T to the roster. Trick Daddy is currently working on a new album to be released in 2012 under his new label. Recently he has released a single featuring Young Jeezy, called "I Can't Leave These Streets Alone", and then was featured on the track "This Is For You", from Jeezy's latest album, ''Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition'', released in December 2011. In July 2012, Trick Daddy released a mixtape entitled ''Dick & Dynamite'' as a prequel to his upcoming album release. He continues to tour the southern United States with his artists, performing a mix of both his classic hits and his new releases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trick Daddy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
