He has signed a major record deal with Def Jam Recordings, and is the CEO of his own record label Gold Gang Records.
His debut single, "All Gold Everything" has charted at 77 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It's from his debut mixtape, Don't Be S.A.F.E., released on October 16, 2012. Like many other artists in the Hip-Hop industry, Trinidad James found his way to the mainstream audience via The Source Magazine's Unsigned Hype column.
There's no hotter commodity in hip-hop right now than Trinidad James. After we named him one of the new Atlanta rappers to watch out for, the 25-year-old rapper has blown-up overnight, propelled by his viral smash “All Gold Everything," thanks in large to an irresistibly charming music video and a really catchy lyric about Molly.
... he played his first headlining show in NYC and it was absolute pandemonium with fans, celebrities, and industry insiders stuck standing outside after the venue was packed to capacity. Inside, James proved that even if you're skeptical of the hype, he puts on one hell of a show, and the hundreds of camera phones on-hand caught video clips that serve as sufficient proof of that.
If you sit down with James, it’s obvious that he's intelligent, self-aware, and a natural born hustler. He hasn't been rapping professionally for long, but he clearly understands hip-hop, its culture, and most importantly, the genre's trends.
The day after his Big Apple performance, we had ATL's newly-minted star stop by the Complex office (he showed up on time, the rarest of feats for a rapper) for a conversation in which we attempted to find out, Who Is Trinidad James? James told us about being recruited by labels, his relationship with A$AP Rocky, hustling Pokémon cards, his city's buzzing music scene, and much more.

Trinidad Jame$ Lyrics
Yeah welcome back
If this is this is your first time, thank you
"Don't Be SAFE" is still
Free on LiveMixTapes, cheap bastard
Just kiddin, anyways let's go!
DJ what you do this for?
I do this for my mama
I don't do this for you niggas
I do this for my fans
I don't do this for no pictures
I do this for my friends
Treat them niggas like my family
Y'all niggas was hatin'
But them same niggas was fans of me
Got these bitches faintin' when they
See my face in magazines
Nigga I ain't playin'
I'm in that Flight Club faithfully
Or in Soho
Bing a real nigga is a crime, I know it
I got a hundred charges
A lot of gold, a lot of hoes
Don't mean nothin' if you got no soul
Niggas might hate me
But it's the reason I was chose amen
If this is this is your first time, thank you
"Don't Be SAFE" is still
Free on LiveMixTapes, cheap bastard
Just kiddin, anyways let's go!
DJ what you do this for?
I do this for my mama
I don't do this for you niggas
I don't do this for no pictures
I do this for my friends
Treat them niggas like my family
Y'all niggas was hatin'
But them same niggas was fans of me
Got these bitches faintin' when they
See my face in magazines
Nigga I ain't playin'
I'm in that Flight Club faithfully
Or in Soho
Bing a real nigga is a crime, I know it
I got a hundred charges
A lot of gold, a lot of hoes
Don't mean nothin' if you got no soul
Niggas might hate me
But it's the reason I was chose amen
