push tricks

English term or phrase: push tricks
Situation:
A girl is dead, a cop was questioning in the neighborhood and reports back to a detective:

- Homeboy over here tells me that she pushed tricks. If you got $15 bucks to bend, she has a cooz you can hide out in.

It supposedly took place in Harlem. Maybe it's some kind of Harlem slang. I can't figure out the "push tricks" and "cooz".

As to my guesses,
I tend to think of "push tricks" as either "sell drugs" or "generally be up to no good" as in "doing some tricky business" - anything from prostitution to sell drugs

Esteemed colleagues, if you can, please confirm my guesses or provide me with yours if you think I'm off the right track.
Thank you beforehand, ladies and gentlemen.

Explanation:
Well actually by saying "she pushed tricks" he meant that this girl was addicted to sex or simply she was a prostitute, and "cooz" has a meaning I'd rather not say here:) let's call it "pussy":)

"love nest" - a place where the hooker would take her customer.
Well you may call it a "love nest" but in fact the meaning of "hide out in it" is rather vulgar meaning simply that her vagina (and this obviously fits your context) is so huge that one can literally hide in it (probably because she had sex with so many men and been a prostitute for a very long time)
I would not recommend it to translate it literally because, you know, it sounds pretty vulgar
Try to make it neutral, something like: "О ней ходят те еще слухи. Дай ей 15 баксов и она вся твоя"

agree  Igor Boyko: Цитата: However, you have to give it up to the riders who are risking their lives to push tricks that we’ve never seen before. So far, one rider, Kevin Pearce, is in a coma in Utah due to a head injury practicing the double-double.

Notes to answerer
Asker: ОК, thank you. But the "cooz" doesn't seem to fit the context. How is one supposed to "hide out in" it? That's precisely what led me to believe it was something like a "love nest" - a place where the hooker would take her customer...
