Obie Trice

Obie Trice, a Detroit-born rapper, built a distinguished career through his lyrical prowess, transitioning from an Eminem protégé to an independent artist and label owner. His journey includes significant album releases and collaborations with prominent figures in hip-hop. After signing with Eminem’s Shady Records in 2000, Obie Trice swiftly established his presence in the hip-hop landscape, contributing a freestyle skit to D12’s 2001 album ‘Devil’s Night’ and featuring prominently on Eminem’s critically acclaimed 2002 album ‘The Eminem Show.’ That same year, Trice also contributed to the soundtrack for the Oscar-winning film ‘8 Mile’ and made an on-screen appearance in the movie. His highly anticipated debut album, ‘Cheers,’ released on September 23, 2003, featured collaborations with acclaimed artists such as Dr.

Dre, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, and Eminem, quickly achieving platinum certification by the RIAA. This early success solidified his position as a formidable lyrical artist within the industry. Building on the momentum of his debut, Trice continued to garner significant attention, featuring on Tupac Shakur’s posthumous album ‘Loyal To The Game’ in 2004. He followed this with his second studio album, ‘Second Round’s on Me,’ released on August 15, 2006, which included a mixtape, ‘Bar Shots,’ created in collaboration with G-Unit’s DJ Whoo Kid the same year.

Trice maintained a consistent output through his independent label, releasing the album ‘The Hangover’ on August 7, 2015, preceded by the single ‘Good Girls’ on June 15, 2015. His fifth studio album, ‘The Fifth,’ was released on August 23, 2019, further solidifying his sustained presence and artistic control in the music industry. In late 2019, Trice released two notable diss tracks, ‘Spanky Hayes’ on December 10, 2019, and ‘Spanky Hayes 2’ on December 16, 2019, showcasing his continued lyrical prowess and engagement within the hip-hop dialogue.
