Details: Product Description T Double D is back with his fifth album THUG HOLIDAY. The king of ghetto anthems has done it again with his hit single "In Da Wind" featuring Cee-Lo and Big Boi. By far his best work to date Trick continues to hit us with his unmatched ability to tackle serious issues while making us laugh at the same time. The range of subjects and issues that Trick attacks will make you think and cringe. He has grown as an artist and become more thought provoking in the delivery of his message. The album features guest appearances by Cee-Lo of Goodie Mob, Big Boi of Outkast, Baby of Cash Money, Trina, Scarface, LaTocha Scott, Jaban, Tre+6 and Rick Ross. Amazon.ca When the late Tupac popularized the "thug" concept to describe his boisterous lifestyle, he couldn't have seen Trick coming. All of Miami-based Trick Daddy's albums ( Thugs Are Us, Book of Thugs, www.thug.com) abuse this concept, and no one knows exactly why. On his fifth studio album, Trick flips more 'hood-centric, autobiographical rhymes on "Money & Drugs" and "Ain't No Santa," skillfully charting his rise from rags to, er, bitches. Sonically, this is Trick's most diverse album to date. While there are no clear-cut anthems like "I'm a Thug," "In da Wind" comes the closest, with progressive Atlanta rhyme-spitters Cee-Lo and Outkast's Big Boi guesting. Heck, even legendary soul singer Betty Wright's Children's Choir drops by to add some gospel flavor to "God's Been Good." While a large bulk of the collaborations add very little to the mix (Infa Red of Unda Presha and Tre+6's contributions are quite underwhelming), "Gangsta," featuring a rejuvenated Scarface, will win over those unfamiliar with Trick's hardcore street-poetry appeal. --Dalton Higgins
