The music world lost a titan with the passing of Ozzy Osbourne, and Trick Daddy has stepped up to honor the rock legend’s unexpected influence on hip hop. While many knew Ozzy for his wild antics and legendary riffs, it turns out he also had a hand in Trick’s success. Who would have thought that sampling Ozzy’s “Crazy Train” could lead to a top Billboard hit? It’s a twist that might just make you believe in music’s magical connections.

Trick Daddy recalls the moment he got the thumbs-up to sample the iconic song for his 2004 track, “Let’s Go.” With the collaboration of producers Jim Jonsin and Bigg D, Trick found a way to blend rock and hip hop seamlessly.

Trick expresses sincere gratitude towards Ozzy, stating that he cleared the sample with no hesitation. It’s a heartwarming reminder of how artists can bridge the gap between genres and generations.
