I've never really liked rap/hip-hop, so adding this to my library was a bit of an oddity for me. Following in the same trip-hop movement as Portishead and being born straight out of Massive Attack, Tricky is known for his dark, rich, and layered sound.
He's got a pretty interesting past. His father deserted his mother before he was born, and his mother committed suicide when he was four. He named his solo album after her and once said that though he hardly knew her, he feels like she's speaking through him with his words. When he was seventeen, he spent time in prison because he bought forged 50 euro notes from a friend, who later informed the police. In an interview, Tricky said, "Prison was really good. I'm never going back."
