Background

On March 9, 2015, Trina announced that she signed a deal with Penalty Recordings, saying in a statement "This is the beginning of a new direction and stage within my career, and now my own imprint—Rockstarr Music Group. I have collaborated with so many different talents during my career thus far, and I am beyond excited to share this phase with the world as I continue to evolve."[6][7] In early 2016, Trina released "Real One",[8] the intended lead single from her second studio album, then titled 6. Several other songs were released between 2016 and 2018, including the singles "Fuck Boy", "Fuck That" and "Damn".
