"It's Tricky" is a single from the hip-hop group Run-D.M.C.. It is featured on the album "Raising Hell" (1986) and Run DMC's greatest hits CDs (numerous). A remix of the song is also featured on EA's SSX Tricky video game. Illusionists Penn & Teller appeared in the video as Three-card Monte scam artists.
