Trina And Lil Wayne - Trina has had many songs that put her on the map as an artist. We can say it was her first feature on Trick Daddy’s “Nann N***a” record. Or maybe it’s her shake your hips anthems like “Look Back at Me” or “Pull Over.” We’d say those are great contenders, but “Don’t Trip” featuring Lil Wayne definitely put Trina on the map! In 2005, “Don’t Trip” was the lead single from her Glamorest Life album. The album also included other top songs for the rapper like her single with Kelly Rowland, “Here We Go.”(Photo: Johnny Nunez/WireImage)

Trina and Kelly Rowland - We’d have to say one of Trina’s best collaborations was with none other than Kelly Rowland. The rapper and the songstress united to create a song about that f**kboy in your life you need to get rid of. “Here We Go” was one of Trina’s top songs from her Glamorest Life album. The single peaked at No. 17 on the Hot 100 and climbed into the top 10 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Song chart and the Hot Rap Songs chart. On paper, this was Trina’s most successful song and it even was certified Gold in the US in June 2006! (Photo: Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic Records)
