*Rapper Trina scored the top debut on Billboard's Hot Rap Songs last week with her latest effort "Single Again," the first release from her upcoming Slip-N-Slide album, "Still Da Baddest."

      Due Feb. 12, the disc marks a bit of a departure for the artist, who has built a reputation on writing provocative lyrics filled with explicit talk about sex.

       "This album is uptempo, but it's also a little melodic, emotional and personal," Trina told Billboard last year. "I didn't want to be drowned out or sad, I just wanted to be happy and up-spirited, so I can show my fans Trina has really grown up."      

       "The songs selected for the album were tracks ladies needed to hear-about maturing and keeping focus," Slip-N-Slide president Ted Lucas tells Billboard.       

       With the idea that "Single Again" will be the 2008 single ladies' anthem, Slip-N-Slide will run ads on Internet dating sites and sponsor blind-date contests on radio stations across the country, reports Billboard. Trina is also launching a radio and retail promo tour Jan. 10.

       Continuing with the female empowerment theme, the second single will be "I Got a Thing for You," featuring Keyshia Cole, about a woman secure enough to declare her feelings to a love interest. Other guests on the album include Missy Elliott, Plies, Trick Daddy, Mya and Rick Ross. Jim Jonsin and J Rock are among the featured producers.      

       And for those fans looking for Trina's traditional raunchiness, there's "Look Back at Me" featuring Killer Mike. The street single, which references a certain sexual position, was released to DJs and radio this week.      

       "Her fans know she's rough and they like that," Lucas says. "So she's back with a little of that, but she's matured as well. That's why she's still the baddest."
