Trilla

In late 2006, unless you were living in a cave or didn't turn on the radio the odds are you were bumpin' Rick Ross at one time or another. Ross' debut album Port Of Miami was released in August of that year and the subsequent single "Hustlin'" instantly became the song of year, catapulting the rapper's career to instant stardom. "Hustlin'" was a bona fide street anthem, and will be regarded by many as a classic. Since Port Of Miami, Rick Ross has been constantly releasing material through mixtapes, so in a sense more time to perfect his craft. For many rappers, the infamous sophomore studio effort can either be a hit or a miss - especially considering how well Ross' debut performed on the charts. Expectations may be high but it is safe to say that Trilla follows the same blueprint as Port Of Miami and doesn't disappoint. -hiphopdx.com
