Tink.
Born Trinity Home in 1995, Tink took the underground music by storm. With her self-released trilogy mix tape 'Winter's Diary 1,2 &3' she was noticed by heavy weight producer Timberland. Once an underground artist she is now signed to Mosley Music Group and imprint of Epic Records. Being recognised as a nice mix between Ms. Lauryn Hill and Da Brat. Her first mix tape, Winter Diary's, was largely filled with R&B ballads, but her second mix tape, Alter Ego, established her rapping skills. Her next mix tapes have blended her R&B and rap styles. Tink has also been loosely associated with the Drill movement that was birthed in Chicago. Some of her early songs incorporated key features of this sub-genre. For example, aggressive beats and violent lyrics. She has since distanced herself from this movement, saying that she wants to become 'a positive, realistic vision of female empowerment.'
Much of the lyrical content in her music deals with complex emotional issues that are geared towards a primarily teenage audience, She often uses her hometown Chicago setting to convey her emotions. Tink has been praised for her storytelling ability, Her music has also taken on issues like female empowerment and the Black Lives Matter Movement.
