	The Life Of Trick Trick	828 dagen geleden
	Christian Mathis, better known as Trick-Trick, is an African-American rap artist from Detroit, MichiganHe grew up listening to gospel, soul and funk music at home; two of his early musical memories were Phil Collins and George Clinton. Later on in his childhood he began to listen to hip hop such as Public Enemy, N.W.A. and Run DMC. Trick's nickname was given to him at a very young age for his competent schemes of attracting the girls of his neighborhood, though later on he changed his name to Trick-Trick due to the international success of the British Rapper Tricky-whom (the soon to be called) Trick Trick found had legal rights to the name. He decided on Trick-Trick to play off the name Click Click-a well known street figure whom Christian always wanted to emulate in any way possible. Trick began his journey in the rap business when he signed his first deal with Click-Click's label, Click Boom Records, in 1992. As a teenager his father, a talented musician taught and encouraged Christian's siblings and himself various musical instruments and encouraged them towards gospel music. After the lure of the streets swayed him away from education, he spent a brief stint in the county prison. After being released, he became the third member and back up rapper in the Goon Sqwad behind local Detroit rapper Stylez and DJ OC. He is perhaps best known in the underground rap scene for attacking rappers like Trick Daddy and Styles P when they came to Detroit. They were evidently talking about the city in a manner he didn't appreciate and he had them "touched" by his crew. In 1995 he recorded his first radio hit with The Goon Sqwad titled "Booty Bounce". The single instantly took the #1 position on FM 98 WJLB in Detroit and other surrounding stations. Under Innersound (an Atlanta, Georgia based record label) the single reached sales of over 400,000 and 30,000 independently. While continuing to record hits on the small independent label Click Boom Records, run by his friends Click-Click and Peanut. However only a few of the singles received any serious play on Detroit radio. In 2000 he gained world-wide attention in the documentary titled Street Life. In the 2006 Trick-Trick sold over 500,000 of singles alone and over two million mixtape sales with his Wonder Boy Entertainment label. Also in 2006 he released his latest album The People vs. which would now be distributed by Motown/Universal Records. Trick-Trick's "Welcome 2 Detroit" single featuring Eminem, entered the Billboard Top 100 at No. 90. It is the first single off The People vs..
