Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0602517414266 Format: Explicit Lyrics Label: Def Jam Manufacturer: Def Jam MPN: 000953602 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Def Jam Release Date: March 11, 2008 Studio: Def Jam Editorial Review: Album Description: Miami's six-foot, 300-pound rap figure known as Rick Ross embraced his city's reputation on his debut single, "Hustlin'," in 2006. While Atlanta and Houston artists were establishing their cities as Southern strongholds, Ross aimed at putting Miami back in rap's national spotlight. Ross grew up in Carol City, FL, an impoverished northern suburb of Miami. Influenced by artists like Luther Campbell and the Notorious B.I.G., Roberts formed local rap group the Carol City Cartel and began rapping in the mid-'90s. Ross ended up on Miami-based Slip-N-Side Records, the label home of Trick Daddy and Trina. During the early to mid-2000s, he became popular and well known locally through touring with Trick Daddy and guest-appearing on a few Slip-N-Slide releases, but didn't release any solo material until 2006. Once "Hustlin'" caught the ear of a few executives within the national industry, a bidding war ensued that included offers from Bad Boy CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs and The Inc. (formerly Murder Inc.) president Irv Gotti. Nonetheless, Def Jam president and veteran rapper Jay-Z signed Ross to a multi-million-dollar deal. The Miami anthem "Hustlin'" went on to receive gold status from RIAA in May 2006 and sold over a million ringtone units before the physical release of his debut album, Port of Miami. Released in August 2006, Ross' debut was Slip-N-Side's first project under the Def Jam partnership, and it went to number one on the Billboard album chart. Average Rating:

Rating: - pure firei love this cd.great beats and rhymes.1 milllion times better than port of miami.officer ross definately did his thing.its august and im still banging this album and it came out in march.definately one of the albums of the year. Rating:  - Rick Ross - Trilla 6/10Much like his incarcerated namesake, Miami-based rapper Rick Ross has had two things on his mind since his debut Port of Miami: coke and cash. Or so his lyrics would convince a listener, as on hit single "Hustlin" and pretty much the entire rest of the album. Things haven't changed in the two years that Ross worked on Trilla for. He still boasts, in that distinctive thick, basso voice that he "made a couple million dollars last year dealin' weight" and doing "100 in the maybach, throwin' ... Read More Rating: - The Biggest BossDespite Rick Ross making recent headlines of being a C.O., I still get the same feeling when listening to his sophomore album TRILLA. Rick Ross really has talent and can be quite engaging when he raps. His style (style not content) is unique in my opinion and I've always thought that. This album is all nonstop hits though. If you don't mind content about the fast life i.e. money, hoes, cars, clothes, then this album is a true 5 star album. Songs such as Speedin, The Boss, Money Make Me ... Read More Rating: - Half of it is Good...3 1/2 starsRick Ross is definetly not one of my most liked rappers. I hate his flow when he rAps and his constant talk about how much money he's got. His previous songs from "Port of Miami" is pretty much all about how much money he's made since he was poor, its really tiresome. But the album "Trilla" itself isn't half bad at all, its a lil bit more diverse but its still primarily about money. Half of the album is good and the other half is just horrendous, so repetitive its sickening. First is the bad, ... Read More |
