Trick Daddy was heavily influential in Florida Hip Hop culture during the mid to late 1990s. He along with Trina and Uncle Luke represented the city heavily and made people pay attention to Dade County.
Recently announcing his return to Hip Hop, Trick says that he never left Hip Hop. Everything changed for him and he had to step back.
“People be like, ‘Trick, why did you leave the rap game?’ I didn’t leave the rap game; the rap game left me,” he told the Miami New Times. “I’ve been dealing with a lot of different issues — the lupus, the IRS, along with just family problems — and now I’m getting all that together.”
Trick Daddy also talked about his influence on Miami and says he was one of the fore founders of the Hip Hop culture there.

“People like me, Luke, Trina, JT Money, we opened a lot of doors for musicians and artists,” he says. “There was people way before us that made big, classic hit records in Miami that didn’t get the recognition because they said all we knew how to do was sell drugs, look good, and kill each other.
“I am Miami,” Trick says. “You can’t just scream, ‘Miami!’ You have to live in Miami. You have to do things for Miami. You have to give to the community, the kids. I been through three Category 5 hurricanes, two major riots. If you did that, lemme hear that. I’m not impressed about your cars, your money, your jewelry; that don’t impress me. Show me that you love Miami instead of just saying it.”
