Da Baddest

The award-winning, platinum-selling rapper, songwriter, and television personality shares her “open and revealing account” (Neil Martinez-Belkin, New York Times bestselling author) of coming of age in Miami, her unstoppable ascent to music stardom, and her lasting impact as a legendary figure in the hip-hop industry

Growing up in the Liberty City area of Miami, Florida, Katrina “Trina” Taylor spent her childhood feeling relatively sheltered by her mother and stepfather. Trina and her mother had an unbreakable bond and Liberty City felt like a playground made just for her. Even at a young age, Trina knew what she wanted: to be a powerful, successful, and magnetic woman, a woman who was entirely self-reliant and independent. She dreamed of becoming a dancer, sexy and sparkling in the background of rap music videos she saw being filmed around Liberty City. Little did she know, she’d eventually be the star of the videos, and a founding Queen of rap. In Da Baddest, Trina’s voice is powerful, insightful, witty, and provocative, while also showcasing her vulnerability and deep love for her family, home, and music. This evocative look into Trina’s life as a music industry icon proves why she is the blueprint for future women in hip-hop and how she helped shape rap music history. Her story highlights the profound cultural impact of hip-hop and why no one but her can hold the title of “The Baddest B*tch.”
