    Background

    After promotion for her debut album ended in mid-2000, Trina began recording music with Missy Elliott to create her second album.[2] Recording sessions lasted from 2000 to 2002. Trina was able to choose her own production, name of the songs, and write whatever she wanted. She told TheCrusade.net: "It's more what Trina's about, how Trina looks, how Trina feels, the things that Trina consists of."[3]
