Rick Ross - Trilla

Issue date: 3/18/08 Section: Entertainment
Rick Ross "The Boss" is back at it again. With his sophomore album Trilla releasing last Tuesday, people were curious if it would live up to the enormous hype. Others wondered if he could even create another record to top his massive smash hit "Hustlin'" which was released back in 2006.
Although I believe that no track on this album compares to the sensation you get when you still sometimes hear "Hustlin'" on the radio, it does not mean Rick Ross doesn't bring his "A" game this time around.
With his deep bass voice combined with even deeper and tremendous beats, this is an album you buy so you can ride around in your car and bump your sub-woofers to their mass potential.
Throughout Trilla, some songs will probably not stick out a whole lot the first couple of times you listen to them. Others will immediately catch your ears and hook you in as new favorites. Songs such as "Luxury Tax," "Reppin My City," and "The Boss" are ones that will most likely be loved from the moment you hear the first beat.
Another great thing that Rick Ross has going for him are the insane collaborations that he has on many of his tracks. Rick Ross features appearances come from artists such as Jay-Z, T-Pain, Young Jeezy, Brisco, Trick Daddy, and more.
Although all of these artists have amazing tracks on this album, the most memorable collaboration on Trilla goes to New Orleans rapper Lil' Wayne. His guest appearance on the track "Luxury Tax" is, by far, one of the best moments on the album.
Overall, Trilla is a star-studded action packed album that will most likely be bumping through speakers for years to come.
