Interested in her raw talent, Trick Daddy then included her in the making of his single, "Nann *****," which surprisingly became a regional hit, even managed to enter the top 3 of Billboard Hot Rap Singles in 1999. Subsequently signed under Slip-N-Slide Records following this initial success, Trina quickly set out to develop her own singing career, smoothly releasing her debut album "Da Baddest *****" in March 2000.
To Trina's delight, this first effort resulted very well as it wonderfully sold for around 700, 000 copies in U.S. to be certified Gold status by RIAA while made its way to reach the 33rd rank on The Billboard 200. By the time her two tracks, "Pull Over" and "Da Baddest *****," turned out to be national smash hits, she had already been considered as the part of women rappers' new wave consisted of the notorious Lil' Kim, Da Brat and Foxy Brown. Getting more popular through the remixes of Missy Elliott's "One Minute Man" and Ludacris' "What's Your Fantasy" which she was featured in, this striking artist thus spent the rest of the year to hold a tour around the country.
