Album Notes
This second album by Miami (by way of Haiti) rapper Rick Ross is one of the most hotly anticipated sophomore releases of the year. This collection is a more than respectable follow-up to his monster debut. The album--produced by J-Rock, the Runners, Cool & Dre, and others--features the hit single "Speedin'," with guest singer R. Kelly.
Two years after the Trick Daddy protégé hit the scene with his exceptional debut, PORT MIAMI, Rick Ross follows up with another thorough studio album rife with vivid gangsta storytelling and hard-thumping neo-G-Funk. On the whole, TRILLA is more party-oriented than the brooding PORT OF MIAMI, as Ross collaborates with a formidable group of big names from the worlds of contemporary R&B and hip-hop (R. Kelly, Trey Songz, T-Pain, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Nelly, Mannie Fresh, and Young Jeezy, among others). But Freeway Ricky still finds time to weave his grim drug-trade narratives over a handful of more menacing underground tracks, too. J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, the Runners, Drumma Boy, Jonathan Rothem, DJ Toomp, and DJ Nasty handle production.
Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- [H]e delivers his boasts in a husky basso profundo that could flatten a speedboat.
Blender
'Maybach Music' boasts mid-tempo soul with elaborate vocal and stringing embellishments....'Luxury Tax' is tricked out with flashy string swells...
The Wire
[H]is imposing voice sounds pretty good over big-budget synths and even better over buttery soul strings and horns.
Entertainment Weekly
3 stars out of 5 -- TRILLA sets Ross' stentorian flow against sleek, synth-swamped beats....The beats are terrific...
