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.

 Rick Ross - Trilla 6/10 August 10, 2008
Much 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' money out the roof," and still expresses his feelings in eloquent songs like "Money Make Me Come."
While focusing an album on drugs and money isn't a new or necessarily bad thing for rappers, it becomes one when the lyrics are saturated with cliches about wealth and [...] rather than the desperation and dangers of the lifestyle like Clipse's Hell Hath No Fury last year.
Luckily, Ross's connections save the album, with everyone from Jay-Z to Lil' Wayne to the ubiquitous T-Pain dropping in, and an excellent and diverse production team headed by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League creating an appropriately urban, tension-filled atmosphere.
The Biggest Boss August 3, 2008
Despite 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 Cum, This Is The Life, Maybach Music, Here I Am, Luxury Tax, We Shining, Billionaire really set it off with outstanding production and Rick Ross signature rapping. The songs are super hot! Super Duper Hot! However one would hope for more songs such as I'm Me (DJ Toomp killed it!) and I'm Human (which ironically the chorus "I'm only human I'm a man I make mistakes" directly applies to him right now) to hold the album together.
Not to say this album isn't riding or that it is by any means wack you would just wish for more content from Rick Ross. Now that he has become established and now that everyone is trying to tear him down maybe on his next album he could tap into some of his unused and unrealized potential. Because after all you back a someone into a corner they are gonna either get knocked out or come out of it swinging. Time will tell.
