The album was a massive success and Tricky was catapulted to international fame, something he was notably uncomfortable with. Tricky left Massive Attack to release his debut album, Maxinquaye. Finally, a white label got him a contract with Island Records and he started to record his first solo album.
He cut it directly off of the tape, so that the song is basically "just bassline and hiss". So in 1993 he decided to press a few hundred vinyl copies of the song. Tricky showed "Aftermath" to Massive Attack, but they were not interested. Martina was only fifteen years old, but her 'honey-coated vox' impressed them and they recorded a song called "Aftermath" (though The Face '95 mentions that the first song they recorded together was called "Shoebox"). Some time later she came to his house, and mentioned to Tricky and Mark Stewart that she could sing. In 1991, before the release of Massive Attack's album Blue Lines, he met Martina Topley-Bird. He also rapped on Massive Attack's acclaimed debut album Blue Lines (1991). He received the nickname 'Tricky Kid' and at 18 he became a member of the Fresh 4, a rap group built from The Wild Bunch.
Early careerĮventually he met DJ Milo and hung out with a sound system called The Wild Bunch, which by 1987 evolved into Massive Attack. In an interview, Tricky said: "Prison was really good. At 17, he spent some time in prison because he bought forged £50 notes from a friend, who later informed the police. At 15 he began to write lyrics ( "I like to rock, I like to dance, I like pretty girls taking down their pants" MixMag 1996). He spent his youth in the care of his grandmother, who often let him watch old horror movies instead of going to school. He named his solo album after her - Maxinquaye - and once said that though he hardly knew her, he feels like she's speaking through him with his words. His father left the family before he was born and his mother, Maxine Quaye, committed suicide when he was only four. Tricky was born in Knowle West, Bristol, England to a Jamaican father and a mixed-race Ghanaian-English mother. 4 Idiosyncrasies and media controversies.Qualif d'une opposition, d'un adversaire difficile (fr) ĭishonesty, disingenuousness, improbity, knavery, unfairness Ĭounterfeit, doctor, fake, falsify, forge Ĭook, fake, falsify, fudge, manipulate, misrepresent, swindle, swindle out of, wangle - hardness, ruggedness - hard - difficultness, difficulty Gaff cheating cunning deceit trickery chicanery chicane guile wile shenanigan Īwkward difficult hard stiff tough heavy uphill ĭifficile (pour une difficulté de l'esprit) (fr) Distress danger hazard jeopardy peril risk endangerment
