A key player in Detroit’s explosive early 2000s rap scene, Obie Trice made his mark as an Eminem protégé and Shady Records signee, standing shoulder to shoulder with heavyweights like D12, Royce da 5’9”, and 50 Cent.
His razor-sharp wordplay and no-nonsense delivery set him apart, earning him a platinum plaque for his 2003 debut Cheers—featuring hits like ‘Got Some Teeth’, ‘The Set Up’, and ‘Don’t Come Down’.
Beyond his own records, Trice’s name is woven into hip-hop history, from his unforgettable intro on Eminem’s Without Me to his contributions on 8 Mile, Devil’s Night, and Tupac’s Loyal to the Game.
