Originally, Tricky was a member of the Wild Bunch, a Bristol-based rap troupe
that eventually metamorphosed into Massive Attack during the early '90s. Tricky
provided pivotal raps on Massive Attack's groundbreaking 1992 album, Blue Lines.
The following year, he released his debut single, "Aftermath." Before he
recorded "Aftermath," he met a teenage vocalist named Martina, who would become
his full-time musical collaborator; all albums released under Tricky's name
feature her contributions.
Tricky signed a contract with 4th & Broadway in 1994. The contract contained a
clause which allowed him to release side projects under different names, in
addition to regular Tricky releases. "Ponderosa" and "Overcome" were released
over the course of 1994; that same year, he made a cameo on Massive Attack's
second album, Protection. Tricky's debut album, Maxinquaye, appeared in the
spring of 1995. Not only did the album receive overwhelmingly positive reviews
when it was released, but it entered the U.K. charts at number two, despite the
total lack of daytime radio airplay. Throughout 1995, Tricky was omnipresent in
the U.K., collaborating with and remixing for a wide variety of artists,
including Bj÷rk, Luscious Jackson, and Whale. In the fall of 1995, he released
Tricky vs. the Gravediggaz, a collaboration with the American hardcore rap
group, as well as a single called "I Be the Prophet," which was released under
the name Starving Souls. At the end of the year, Maxinquaye topped many year-end
polls in Britain, including Melody Maker and NME.
In February of 1996, Nearly God -- an album featuring Tricky's collaborations
with artists as diverse as Terry Hall, Bj÷rk, Alison Moyet, and Neneh Cherry --
was released, again to strong reviews; the album was released in the U.S. six
months later. After completing the second full-fledged Tricky album, he
relocated to New York City early in 1996 where he began working with underground
rappers. An EP called Grassroots was released in the U.S. in September. Two
months later, Tricky's official second album, Pre-Millennium Tension, was
released. Again, Tricky received positive reviews, though there were a few
dissenting opinions.
In addition to his three releases of 1996, he remixed artists as diverse as
Elvis Costello, Garbage, Yoko Ono, and Bush. Tricky's next full-length solo
effort, Angels With Dirty Faces, appeared in 1998, followed a year later by
Juxtapose, a collaboration with Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs and DMX's Grease. In
2001, Tricky returned with the Mission Accomplished EP, which was released by
the Epitaph subsidiary label Anti. Blowback, his first for Hollywood Records,
appeared later that June and included various collaborations with Hawkman,
Live's Ed Kowalczyk, and Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis and John
Frusciante. Increasingly aware of his brooding persona in the media and annoyed
that popular music magazines had started labeling him "the Dark Prince," in
2003, he made Vulnerable as an attempt to expose himself as a more accessible
artist. The same year, the Back to Mine label released an album of remixes that
he compiled, before he took a five-year hiatus from recording new material.
Knowle West Boy, his most critically acclaimed recording since Pre-Millennium
Tension, marked a strong return by the trip-hop pioneer in 2008, and Tricky
toured for a solid year behind it. In August of 2010, he emerged with the single
"Murder Weapon" a reworking of Echo Minott's '90s-era dancehall hit that
obsessed him. Following in the tradition of his infamous read of Public Enemy's
"Black Steel" with backing vocalist Martina Topley-Bird, "Murder Weapon," like
its precursor, also featured a female voice, in this case, Irish-Italian singer
Franky Riley, one of his backing vocalists on the road. Tricky followed the
single with the album Mixed Race later that fall. Unhappy with Domino Records,
he started his own False Idols label for the release of his tenth solo album,
also named False Idols.
