With appearances on Em s 8 Mile soundtrack and a debut album, Cheers, in the can, Trice reaches for the brass ring on the follow-up, Second Rounds on Me.

And he gets off to a brilliant start with lead-off single Since They Wanna Know.

Built out of the powerhouse hometown hard-rock of Power of Zeuss 1970 hitter It Couldnt Be Me, the track became the unofficial theme song of the third season of HBOs series Entourage, and was subsequently heard by millions.

Leaning heavily on a mid-paced, paranoid gangsta rap production style, evidenced on tracks like They Wanna Kill Me and Snitch (a duet with Akon ), Trice stakes his claim as a tough, swaggering performer whose self-awareness never undermines his hard, ghetto edge.

Trices label is looking for ways to develop the Motor Citys collection of local talent.

Trice formed his own record label, Black Market Entertainment, after leaving Shady Records.

He does not use a rap name like most rappers, instead using his birth name on stage.

Trice was given a karaoke machine by his mother when he was eleven and he used it to rhyme over instrumentals from artists such as N.W.A.

By the age of fourteen, he was attending rap battle gatherings around Detroit, including the Hip Hop Shop, where he and his friends would go on Saturday afternoons.

Positive response from watchers encouraged Trice to get into rap music seriously.

He created a freestyle skit on the D12 album Devils Night, following up with an intro snippet in Eminems The Eminem Show lead single Without Me, as well as the song Drips.

Later in 2002, Trice rapped on songs for the 8 Mile soundtrack, and also had a cameo appearance in the film as a rapper in a parking lot.

The album consists of 17 tracks with production from Eminem, Dr.

Dre, Timbaland, Mike Elizondo, Emile, Fredwreck and Mr.

Porter. Artists featured on Cheers include Busta Rhymes, Eminem, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Dr.

Dre, Nate Dogg, D12, Tony Yayo, and Timbaland.

Trice also featured on the track Hennessey on Tupac Shakur s posthumous album Loyal To The Game.

Following the release of Second Rounds on Me, he released a mixtape called Bar Shots with G-Unit s DJ Whoo Kid.

Trice made a speech at Proofs funeral, addressing the problem of black-on-black violence.

Were killing each other, and its about nothing.

Nothing. Nothing.

Were all dying. over nothing.

Trice also addresses the shooting in the song Pistol Pistol from the album Eminem Presents: The Re-up claiming hes after revenge, I solemnly swear on my daughters tearsThe nigga that got him in the head will feel it before the year ends Hope you inconspicuous my friend Cause once the word get back ya in a world of sin Bullets will hurtle at him for tryin to murder what been determined as the first solo African and later Im so sincere you seein a hearse this year its not a verse its curse for burstin whats on ya person.

They want to get that plug and theres really more to the game than they think it is.

Contrary to public belief at the time of the announcement, Trice did not have a falling out with Eminem or Dr.

Dre. Both contributed vocals and production to Trices upcoming album.

A misunderstanding was made where it was believed he was attacking the label and Eminem on a single titled The Giant; however, this was quickly dismissed.

The album is a collection of 11 of Trices tracks recorded with MoSS from 1997 to 2000.

The album serves as a preface to Trices upcoming album, Bottoms Up.

Although some of the lyrics were changed, it was just a remixed version of his song titled Haters from his Bar Shots mixtape.

Additionally, he revealed plans of a box set that included all 4 of his already-released studio albums, along with previously unreleased tour footage.

The album includes guest appearances from Magnedo7, Directorkasper, Xzibit and others.

In the diss track, Trice was rapping over the instrumental of 30 Something by Jay-Z.

In the diss track, he also calls out Suge Knight for him calling Nick Cannon the new 2Pac on the latters first diss track against Eminem.

Trice was able to drive off the expressway, where his girlfriend waved down the police.

He was taken to Providence Hospital and released later that day.

As it was too dangerous to operate, the bullet is still lodged in his skull.

TMZ reported on December 6, 2019, that Trice was arrested for shooting his girlfriends son.

On July 8, 2020, Trice was sentenced to 90 days in the Oakland County Jail in Michigan from charges related to the December 2019 shooting.
