Da Baddest

De: Trina, Sesali Bowen - contributor

Narrado por: Trina

The award-winning, platinum selling rapper, songwriter, and television personality shares her unforgettable story of coming of age in Miami, her inevitable rise to stardom, and her enduring legacy as a Hip-Hop Icon.

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. And 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, as always, 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 upbringing and life as a rap icon proves why she is the blueprint, how she helped pave the way for the future of female rappers and hip-hop artists, and why no one but her can hold the title of “The Baddest B*tch.”

Getting an inside view

The book was good… wish it went into detail a little bit more about her inner thoughts during some of her most challenging times

Most definitely the baddest

I loved everything about this book! I have always loved Trina. Listening her tell her story on her terms was empowering. It was like listening to yo big cuz putting you on game. One of my great reads of 2024.

Great read

Trina set the record straight on things the media spoke about. She also allowed us into some of the most intimate and vulnerable moments of her life. I love the book

Great book

Loved this book very relatable love Trina everyone should read this book A book that has you feeling all emotions

I love that she finally let us (fans) in.

I liked the book but I didn’t love it, only because while it was about her, it wasn’t…I still feel like I know her family and friends more than her but I get it. I understand how hard even this must’ve been. I think also listening to the audiobook instead of reading the words myself played a MAJOR role in my opinion. I hated her reading, I’m not going to lie…I love Katrina DOWN, but there wasn’t a HINT of emotion in her voice the whole 5 hours. It book me 4 weeks to finish it and I couldn’t wait to be done. Even the laughs sounded fake. But again, I get it.

She is Da Baddest!

From a career long of Trina-I was not disappointed. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I hope everyone gets a chance to check it out.

loved everything about her story!

great listen!! highly recommend for anyone who loves a story about a strong triumphant person.

Authentic and Engaging

I LOVE how she narrated with enthusiasm or dread fluctuating to match the story. It was engaging all the way to the end. I enjoyed hearing how she became who she is. After seeing her on love and hip hop I truly understand how she acted and her emotions. This was a good book.

Forever The Queen of Miami

Born/raised/reside in the county of Dade and I always say her music raised me! I’ve always heard how she’s not one to play with but she is very humble. This was a good glimpse into what has made her and why she continues to be the QUEEN of MIAMI

She’s the Baddest!

I’ve been a Trina fan since she hit the scene when I was in college. She’s always been pretty private, so I loved hearing her tell this story of her life. Chapter 26 when she talks about grieving her mom hit me in the chest! Our moms died almost exactly a year apart, and she articulated some of my EXACT sentiments. I’ll be re-listening immediately.
