In December 2012 Trinidad James quietly released his debut mixtape, Don't Be S.A.F.E. By the following winter he had signed a reported $2 million deal with Def Jam Recordings off the strength of one song, "All Gold Everything."
At the time the song and video had blown up. The line, "popped a molly, I'm sweatin' woo" was being repeated over and over by fans coast to coast.
On August 13, 2013, the rapper released his 10 PC Mild mixtape. The reception to it was lukewarm. It would be the only material Trinidad released while still on Def Jam's roster.
Trinidad, real name Nicholas Williams, is only 26-years old. It's highly possible this opportunity came way too fast. In a 2013 interview with VladTV, Trinidad admitted he had just started rapping. Hopefully he can regroup and get back on his grind.
