According to Billboard.com, Ross's follow-up to his 2006 debut, "Port of Miami," will feature a bevy of guest appearances including Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Trick Daddy, Akon, T-Pain and Floetry's Marsha Ambrosius, as well as production from the Runners, who produced his 2006 hit "Hustlin', DJ Toomp and Cool and Dre.
"'Trilla' means real enough and was really inspired by Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,'" Ross tells Billboard.com. "It's going to be the biggest street album of the year."
After poor performance from the album's first single, "Speedin" featuring R. Kelly, Def Jam chose to give the project some more time to develop.
In other news…
According to Nielsen Soundscan, Ross's 2006 debut sold over 722,000 copies in the United States.

ReDef.
imma from tampa florida... Ross is Wack... he made the remix to im soo hood sound horrible that shit would of been a GREAT classic but he fuckin killed it
you're right, that it would have been a good song (but not classic). jeezy, luda, busta and big boi killed it.
it wasn't just ross that ruined that shit. it was wayne, baby, and fat-ass joe and annoying-ass khaled too.
i had his last album, i tried to take it in , but this nigga ross is wack. wack.
And a lotta wack rappers are reaching platinum. and i have to end my comment wit this quote
"If u go platinum it has nothing to do with luck/ it jus means that a million people are stupid as fuck."- immortal technique
thats word
he doesn't HAVE a flow. it sounds like his fat ass just ran a mile and then came in and rapped. he's forever out of breath.
the only reason he's hot now is because of the production behind him. the runners MADE him. 1life you said it yourself, he sold a million ringtones; of hustin', produced by the runners. it isn't even ross's voice sayin "hustlin". people don't like him.
speedin' was produced by the runners though, and it's unsucessful. probably because people are getting tired of his wheezy ass voice and r. kelly trying to act hard.
Trilla pushed back like the jelly rolls and double chins on Rick Ross. Think this is good news in my book...
i bet my life, his shit want sell that much this time
that nigga shit is gettin pushed back to feb... we all know he cant compete wit nas... i dont know def jam's marketing scheme but that shit aint smart
fuck that big kentucky fried chicken eating nigger. he is trash just like every other rapper from florida. all garbage. push that shit back forever he aint selling 200,000 this time. only a fool would buy a cd these days. all that shit is free downloadz
say what u want bout ross but keep Florida out your fuckin mouth Bitch nigga... they aint nothing but ryders down here we come check ur ass real quick and if u from ny talkin that shit u need to hold ur tounge cause im from ny and trust there aint nothing but real niggas down here
rick ross did go plat that neilson soundscan was an old estimate!!! the real estimate is on wikipedia HOLD UP IMA POST IT 4 YALL...

Website Rick Ross' Official Site
William Roberts (born February 8, 1977 in Carol City, Florida) better known by his stage name Rick Ross (alternate form Rick Ro$$ ), is a rapper from Carol City in northern Miami-Dade County, Florida of Haitian descent[1]]].[1] Ross' moniker is borrowed from drug trafficker Ricky "Freeway" Ross, who ran one of the largest cocaine distribution networks in the country during the 1980s and early '90s. He signed with Slip-N-Slide, which as of 2007, is distributed under Def Jam Records. Port of Miami, Ross' debut album, was released on August 8, 2006, with the lead single "Hustlin'" peaking at #9 on the hip-hop chart and #54 on the Billboard Hot 100. A remix of the single featuring Young Jeezy, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes also achieved some popularity in digital downloads. [2] Port of Miami went on to be certified Platinum selling over 1,000,000 copies.[3]
In 2006 Rick Ross established Rick Ross Charities Inc. which offers educational, social and mentoring programs.[4]
to be honest in the im so hood remix i always skip jeezy's verse on that, he sucks when he tries to rap fast, and fat joe killed dat trick baby sucks and so does wayne. i dont know why you like that bubble gum rap. rick rosses first album was bangin. and with the ring tones, times have changed people are paying money to put the tracks on their phones now rather then buy the album. his first album didnt go platinum cause majority of you downloaded it thats why
fuck u niggas always talking about shits classic? Just cus they got one hit its a classic, fucking stupid ass niggas mutherfucking followers, can't distinguish what's good or not Ross is tight only if there's a cameo, by himself he sucks ass, jeezy I agree his album is a classic
Rick Ross is nice its good he pushing his shit back so he can put out quality material unlike a lot of stuff out rite now, but to say he only makes hot songs with other people on em is ignorant cuz his fist to sinles hustlin and push it was jus him by his lonesome which were two fye tracks
If you think Ross is garbage go back and listen to Port of Miami again
1life u dumb as a brick apply yaself better in school kid..
Ross is aight be the kings of dope boy rap is the clipes.Pusha-T and Malice spit.
