Carter V + Trigga

Lil Wayne has been pretty low-key about his music as of late. Trey Songz on the other hand has been remixing tracks left and right and how appropriate by his alter ego, Trigga. Well, both men will be releasing albums this year and by the summer.

This past Friday during a All-Star weekend show, Drake announced:

If you want to hear Lil Wayne at his best, if you wanna hear Young Money at they best… Carter V, May 5. Just know we about this shit for real.

Looks like fans will be getting the album that they want. This is perfect timing being that Young Money is gearing up for their second group album, Rise of an Empire, which hits stores March 11th. I just hope that it lives up to the hype and that Weezy takes it back to the classics for the new album.

As for Trey Songz, he’s working on his 6th studio album. After attending the Get Schooled Foundation Event where he was principal for a day at New Era High (Baltimore, MD), Trey gave details on his upcoming album in a Q&A session. The album is set to be called, Trigga.

This may be something that can change,” he told the high school studentsduring a Q&A. But as of now, the album’s coming out June 30. I’ma be having fun on the album,” said Trey. “There’s a lot of great records on there. I worked with a lot of great people and I’m still recording every day.

As much as I love Trey Songz, I’m not the biggest fan of ‘Trigga’ if it comes down to rapping. I would love this album to be his mixtape, Anticipation, on the NEXT level.

Stay tuned to see if the release dates stick or not.

Single Review: Trey Songz x Young Jeezy, ‘Ordinary’

I DO NOT LIKE THIS SONG! Let’s just get that out the way. I am SO SICK of hearing the same basic music about the club, different checks, and hearing n*gga in every other word of a verse/hook. I have nothing against Trey Songz steering away from R&B. He’s an artist and as an artist he has the creativity to do that. At the end of the day he’s an R&B artist, but he went for more of that club / hip hop route since Passion, Pain & Pleasure. Chapter V really touched on that. I am a Trey Songz fan. I have been in love with his music since I first saw the video for ‘Gotta Make It.’ Now it’s just like he’s lazy or something. He just puts music out and the concept is what? Picking up a chick in the club? I’m not impressed and I know that Trey Songz can make better quality music than this. As a fan I’m not expecting him to make love songs all the time. I’m not expecting every song to be a ballad, BUT conceptually he needs to get back to what he started with. Featuring a rapper on the track does not guarantee radio play.

This track is as ‘ORDINARY’ as it gets. Trey Songz sings about a girl. Insinuates a possible threesome. Talks about taking a girl home, his sex game, Jeezy starts rapping, BLAH BLAH BLAH! It’s boring, there’s no story. The song is the typical club type formula. Meet girl, flirt with girl, get another girl, take girl home, have sex, move on to the next. It’s degrading yes, but it’s beyond degrading that gets me about these R&B singers.

To sum it all up, Trey Songz can do better, he’s written better, he’s a better artist, and if THIS is what’s on his next album, I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING!
