Trina
Miami's undisputed rap queen Trina rocketed to fame in 1998 with her iconic feature on the smash track "Nann," which was the first of many collaborations with Trick Daddy. Trina's audacious, sex-positive lyrics and unapologetic "Baddest B****" persona changed the game and set the tone for an entire generation of femcees. Now 21 years after the release of her debut album, the Liberty City native is hitting the gas on her already unprecedented career with new music, an expansion of her record label, and a nonstop series of live performances and events. With the support of a tight-knit circle of friends and family -- including longtime boyfriend Raymond Taylor -- Trina's on a mission to chart new territory for women in hip hop and remind everybody that she's the hardest-working artist in the business.

Noreaga is at a pivotal moment as he works to parlay the "Drink Champs" momentum into a slate of other business opportunities, including a caviar line and a record label.
