The One is the sixth studio album by American rapper Trina. It was released on June 21, 2019 on her label Rockstarr Music Group. It is her first album since Amazin'. The album was preceded by the singles "If It Ain't Me", "Get Money", "Mama", "On His Face" and "BAPS". Upon release, The One debuted at number 126 on the US Billboard 200, marking it her lowest charting album to date.
