“Due to bad business practices in my name and Dunk Ryder Records, I had to clean house,” Trick noted. “To anybody that had to deal with any part of that, I want you to know that I was not informed about what was going on but when I found out I handled it. So I do as I always do, stay on the grind and leave the BS behind me.”

Now, he’s got his mind on his latest projects which include an album (www.thug.com2) and an autobiography focusing on his life and fight with Lupus (Magic City: Trials of a Native Son). Both are being worked on and have not been given official release dates as of yet.
