Early life

One of 18 children (many were half brothers and sisters, and his mother had 12 children by different fathers), Trick was born Arthur Maurice Young around 1974 in Miami, Florida, and raised in the city's Liberty Square Housing Development-known as the "Pork `N' Beans Projects" to locals. Liberty Square Housing Project is a Public housing 753-unit apartment complex located on 1415 NW 63rd St "Growing up, that shit was never nothing nice," he recalled later, as quoted by Charisse Nikole in a 1999 interview with Blaze magazine. "You watch mamas and step-daddies and half-brothers getting in fights and see how you come out. We see people getting shot and killed every day. " As a young adult, Trick readily admitted that many of his problems stemmed from childhood issues, which he continued to deal with.

Because he came from such a large family and lived in a dangerous environment, Trick learned early on to push and fight his way to the front of the line, behaviors which often got him into trouble. His first outburst occurred when he was just eleven year old; angered after a teacher embarrassed him in front of his grade school class, according to Trick, he retaliated by hitting her in the head with a lead pipe. For this act of violence, he found himself at one of the Miami-Dade County schools for problem children. Apparently, the school did little to help rehabilitate the youngster, as just a few years later, in May of 1991, Trick was sentenced to a four-year prison term at the Apalachee Correctional Institution for armed trafficking with the intent to distribute cocaine. Although released on probation after serving a year of the sentence, Trick was locked up again for violating the terms of his release, as well as attempted murder, and subsequently spent two more years behind bars. Meanwhile, during Trick's incarceration, five of his close friends and his brother, nicknamed Hollywood, had all been murdered.

Music career

Determined to start anew, and as a way to cope with the death of his brother, Trick left jail and started writing candid rap songs that documented the life he had led up to that point. In the 1990s, he began rapping seriously by the alias "Trick Daddy Dollars". His first break into the music business came when a Miami rap artist, Luther Campbell, stage name Luke, formerly of the 2 Live Crew, saw Trick performing at a local club and approached him. Luther R Campbell (born December 22, 1960) also known as Doo Doo Brown, Luke Skyywalker, Uncle Luke or Luke, is 2 Live Crew is a hip hop group from Miami Florida. They caused considerable controversy with the Sexual themes in their work particularly on their Later, Luke invited him to join as one of the lead rappers for the song "Scarred" (also known as "Hydrolics"). The hip-hop dance track, which introduced Trick's unique flow and booming voice, appeared on Luke's 1996 album Uncle Luke. The song became a hit and immediately caught the attention of fans and record producers alike. Later, Trick credited Luke as the person who helped make his recording career possible.

Trick continued to rap on the underground Miami rap scene, and while doing a local performance, he was discovered by Ted Lucas, the CEO of Slip-n-Slide Records.
