Maurice Samuel Young (born September 27, 1974), better known by his stage name Trick Daddy, is an American rapper from Miami, Florida.[2] He is best known for his 2004 single "Let's Go" (featuring Twista and Lil Jon), which peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. The album of which it preceded, Thug Matrimony: Married to the Streets (2004) peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 albums chart; both of which remain his most successful releases to date.

Prior, he signed to local record label Slip-n-Slide Records for the release of his debut album Based on a True Story (1997) and its sequel, www.thug.com (1998). Becoming the flagship artist for the label, he signed a joint venture deal with Atlantic Records to release Book of Thugs: Chapter AK Verse 47 (2000), Thugs Are Us (2001), and Thug Holiday (2002), which were met with moderate commercial success. He followed up Thug Matrimony with the albums Back by Thug Demand (2006) and the independently-released Finally Famous: Born a Thug, Still a Thug (2009), and notably guest appeared on hometown native DJ Khaled's singles "I'm So Hood" in 2007 and "Out Here Grindin'" in 2008.[3]
