Rap Superstars Give Trick Trick A Lift

Comments

Some of the biggest names in hip-hop are present on Detroit rapper Trick Trick's new album, "The Villain," due Nov. 11 via Koch.

Eminem has production credits on three songs, while Dr. Dre mans the boards on another. Kid Rock, Esham and late Detroit rapper Proof are featured on a cover of Run-D.M.C.'s "Together Forever," while Ice Cube and Guilty Simpson also make guest appearances.

The first single is "Let It Fly" featuring Cube. A video will be released in the near future.

"The Villain" is Trick Trick's Koch debut. Its 2005 predecessor, "The People Vs.," was released by Motown and reached No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. It has sold 59,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Beyond the new album, Trick Trick is planning to release his own drink line, G-Punch, a grape-lemonade flavored energy drink through the Citron Beverage Group. He is also gearing up to appear in the films "Cut Print" and "Gang Squad."
