Thug Matrimony: Married to the Streets is the sixth studio album (and first number 1 album) by Miami rapper Trick Daddy.[10] The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 with 145,000 copies sold in the 1st week released. J.O.D.D. was used in the 2005 film The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

"Let's Go" was the single that rocketed the album's success. "Sugar (Gimme Some)" contains an interpolation of "Sugar On My Tongue" written by David Byrne of Talking Heads and was produced by Mike Caren. "Down Wit Da South" contains an interpolation of Midnight Star's song "No Parking (On the Dance Floor)." The song "Sugar (Gimme Some)" was released as a single and reached number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. It has a remix with a verse from Lil' Kim. "Let's Go" was also released as a single and remains Trick Daddy's most successful single, reaching number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. The video for "Sugar" features Lil' Kim and Cee-Lo, but Ludacris and his verse from the song are absent. The song "Let's Go" was used in the trailers for Stomp the Yard. The album has been certified Gold by the RIAA. As of November 2006 the album has sold 910,000 copies in the United States.
