Story behind the song
With all odds against us, we pulled a coup with this one in 2004. We did "Triniman" strictly for the video and never released it to local DJs or radio stations. Group member, TIM Starr shot and directed d video real grimey with an ordinary camcorder, but the final product was iller than most of the big-budget high quality soca, dancehall and rock videos buzzin at the time... making "Triniman" one of the best videos of the year and certainly one of the most-celebrated!!!
