Trick Daddy - Lost Sessions

2010 release. Considering his millions of records sold and his crossover airplay, Trick Daddy is sometimes overlooked as an immense talent and deep thinker. The 10 never before released singles featured on Lost Sessions, however, showcase the emcee's skills on a level never before captured on his major label releases. Stylistically, the recordings unfold in a highly unpredictable manner. Many of the beats are intertwined with comfortably familiar subjects approached in his early works, but twisted into unusual shapes, as Trick Daddy let's loose his steady, natural flow with powerful, provocative lines and an understated manner (in the vein of Mos Def). Even the bouncing, dance-floor-ready "Time to Ride" features clever turns of phrase and the introspective "Fake Friends" is a rare look into Trick Daddy's more sensitive side. Trick Daddy has been quietly ahead of the game for years now, and, with Lost Sessions, his artistry reaches a new dimension. These never before released tracks are a must have for all intelligent hip-hop heads and Trick Daddy enthusiasts.
