Rick Ross intends to smash this summer just like he did last year, with his hit album “Port Of Miami.” In an interview with MTV he explained the inspiration for his new album, “Trilla”, and the impact he hopes for it to have.
“When I was young, that Michael Jackson album Thriller hit me,” he said. “I remember when I got the LP, the way [the cover] folded open like my notepad at school, it stuck with me. It was one of the greatest albums ever released, one of my favorites. I wanted to come back in a way that was just as exciting. I put the trill on it, so now we have Trilla. Coming real soon, biggest album of the year.”Ross also has an impressive list of collaborators on the CD, boasting the likes of DJ Khaled, Jay-Z, Cool & Dre, and Lil Jon. He also says he’s attempting to add Dr. Dre and Andre 3000 as well. “I reached out to Andre; we bumped into each other at the MTV [Video Music] Awards, we chopped it up and I told him I needed some of that ‘Southernplayalistic’ music,” said Ross. “I reached out to Dr. Dre; he’s real busy on his album but hopefully he’ll slide me one of them pies so I could double up.”
Rick has also been busy at work with other artists’ projects, such as R.Kelly, UGK, Nelly, DJ Drama’s “Takin Pictures”, and even DJ Khaled’s recent smash “We Takin Over”. “It feels good to rub elbows with the veterans.” “Those are … the dudes that made me love hip-hop and still love hip-hop,” said Ross, whose group Carol City Cartel will drop their Black Flag debut this year. “Dudes I’m fans of. I just been grinding.”
Not limiting himself to just music, Ross has also scored a role in the upcoming Laurence Fishburne movie “Days Of Wrath”, alongside fellow rappers David Banner, and Kurupt. “I’m playing a role, G-Dog,” Ross said of his acting debut. “I’m expanding my horizons, it’s gonna be a fly movie. G-Dog is a street dude coming up in the ‘hood, trying to make some moves, make a better way.” With moves like these, Ross seems to be trying to expand, saying: “I’m trying to get some Oprah money so I can stop cursing and using bad language and talking bad,” “I would love to be in that world.”
Rick also has movie plans of his own, he is currently producing the upcoming documentary “M.I Yayo The Movie”. “It’s a groundbreaking documentary about my city,” said Ross. “I go in-depth. It’s a top-10 countdown of the biggest hustlers who ever walked my streets.”

@Mr.President..
aye boy.. you talkin abt how Ross is whack, but you ever take a look at yo self, especially yo ugly ass avatar, is that the best you can do.
I don't know abt y'll, but Ross's album gon be the biggest thing to drop this year.
I'm a go get that album when it drops. MI-YaYooooo!!!
REALRAPMD, why the fuck you talkin bout how this nigga look??? Rick Ross came hard on Port of Miami and he gon come hard on Trilla. And for those who say coke is all Ross talks about,that's not all he talks bout. He's just giving those niggas who are under the impression that Miami is palm trees, beaches, and bitches another thing to think about.
