Still Da Baddest is the fourth studio album by American rapper Trina.^[1] It was released on April 1, 2008.

Singles

According to Trina, "Wish I Never Met You" was to be released as the album's lead official single. For unknown reasons it was replaced in October 2008 by "Single Again". The track initially featured Christina Milian, but Trina later replaced Milian's vocals with her own. According to Trina, she and the song's producers experimenting in the studio and decided the version featuring Trina was hot enough to stand on its own without Milian's vocals. This was the single to make history again for Trina as it had potential to make it in the Billboard Hot 100 as her single "Here We Go" featuring Kelly Rowland reached number #17.

"I Got a Thang For You", featuring R&B singer Keyshia Cole, was released as the album's second single. It was successful on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks Billboard Chart, charting at number #59.^[2]

"Look Back At Me", featuring Killer Mike and produced by Hard Hat Productions, was released after the second single as a "buzz single". While the song didn't reach the Billboard Charts, it was very successful in clubs.
