Written by SOHH Soul Man

A while back I spoke to Trey Songz about his sophomore cd, Trey Day.



He spoke on Chris Brown, Ne-Yo and the fact that he is so highly anticipated when he hasn't achieved their level of stardom... and in all his self praise he manage to sing his face of for y'all.

i heard dude like to suck sausage on da low.

Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah. Hold up! Is he for serious?!


I wouldn't be so harsh on him if he wasn't so damn cocky.


I don't know anybody who is anticipating his album. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose. This dude is delusional as all hell. All I know is that I bought his first album. It sucked and I'm not checking for anything by him.


I'm checking for Erykah, Jill, Eve, Mariah, Keyshia... not Trey Songz. Goodness... if y'all could only hear me laughing right now.


News flash: the only one anticipating it is you, Trey!

As far as singing goes, none of these new young guys can touch Trey in terms of sheer, unadulterated talent. But Nate is right, his first album was awful and dude's ego is ridiculous. He needs better songs that show off his singing and even though he sangin hard on Wonder Woman, the song ain't all that. I like Trey a lot but he need to put his head down and put in some real, quality work.

Live up to the hype, homie.

I wish he let me know when he gonna burst out singing like that.... Almost bust my damn speakers!!! Trey honey?! I forgot about you sweetie who's waiting for the album? Middle school kids maybe!

anticipation?? I thought that album came out months ago LOLOL

out of the 3, he's prolly the best singer, ne-yo is the best songwriter ( and artist altogether) BUT i think chris brown sells the most records jus cuz he's young. the arrogance doesnt really bother me BUT trey songz ur not even close to ne-yo or chris brown 4 dat matter.....ur in the same space as mario, joe, tyrese, tank, ginuwine, and mario winans LOL

What is he talking about? relevant?

I can't deny that he has a beautiful voice though.

Trey Songz is more like Gay Songz!!!!

i am a vocalist so i know talent when i hear. it although he has a good singing voice. no doubt. but thats only half the battle. he is a BORE. in my opinion a lot of his songs sound the same. u dont hear people like 'oh i cant wait for that new trey songz'. he is an idiot if he thinks we are. i agree wit OLA. he is very much a mario. talented but boring as a mutha...

Dude is staying on da grind........

"The Most Versatile Producer In The Game"

real talk im lookin forward to this album i didnt like the first cd but i heard some songs he did on some mixtapes and wonder woman and i wanna see how it is

Okay. Let's be real for a minute. The only people anticipating his CD are the people that work at his record label so they can go ahead and drop him. LOL. I honestly thought the CD already dropped and just never made it to iTunes.


@OLA-Why Mario gotta be with Mario Winans and Ginuwine? LOL. Daaaaamn. But that's kind of his fault since he kicked Ne-Yo to the curb even after they collabed (read as: Ne-Yo wrote the whole thing) on his biggest hit EVER. Damn shame how people do when they get a little fame.

Dude is stillnotgnna go platinum with Treyday.....He won'r mae it past 500,000

Who Said T.I. wouldnt respond to Gucci Mane!!!! Download This Today!!!! http://www.zshare.net/audio/2623025fcb23ae

So his first album sucked? I'm a little confused as to what is a good album and what isn't. So bobby's fist album was good but this one wasn't? Honestly no one listens to the music or just the vocals anymore. If you say that Justin Timberlakes album is better than anything these cats put out could you only be saying that cause he was white. If he was black and didn't have timbalands beats on his album would you still have been one of the 3 million that purchased it. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but you guys are never pleased with a solid album.

@OLA

yous a dumbass to say neyo and chris brown can sing better than mario, tank, joe, tyrese....ginuwine...um he's in his own category. but you need to recognize talent. trey songz is ass good as the former. you need a reality check. but so does trey. dont noone want his album...

umm...first off people are looking forward to his album....and he does have a lot of anticipation from a lot of people..you should have seen the comments on his page from when trey day was pushed back....everyone was like trey im waitin for the album....when is it coming out...and so what if he has an ego...ne-yo's ego is just as big....not knocking him though...and he is just as relevant as the other r&b dudes out right now....and he has one thing a lot of people don't....talent.

Is somone waiting for a new Trey Songz album?

@KI

i said ne-yo and chris brown have more fame then ALL THOSE GUYS u fucking iliterate bastard.....trey songz is on the Z LIST of RnB singers w/ mario, ginuwine and the rest of the has beens

Who the hell is anticipating Trey Songz album his first single has no buzz!!!!! To CDV that rap beef is over before it started so stop puttin' up that bullshit!!!

There are alot of people anticipating Trey Songz 's new album you hating bitches.He is one of the few RnB artist that can really sing so fall the fuck back. And neva is he a fucking z lister bitch. Ne-yo is not better than him he only known cuz he can write. Trey Songz and Chris Brown is shitting on all yall hating bitches.

On some real shit!! now ima b real wit u!!!!........ trey Songz is that nigga!!! U gotta give dude his respect!!! .... outta of tha 4 mario, Ne-Yo & Chris he sings tha best followin Mario and Chris Brown!!! And yall fuckz 4got that Trey songz write his own songs and make other songs 4 other people also!!!!! when he 1st came out i thought he was wake but like he said he make hes name stay relavant and im always hearin that nigga on a mixtape and his shit is crack!!!! on some real mark my word on this but tha dude is tha new R.kelly wit his talent and his albity 2 sing!!!! I dont care what nebody says but that Wonder Women joint is that shit!!!! And he made that song wit that reap lyrics!!! (everybody is a rapper now!!....so i aint gonna say shit about that)...... but on some real if that nigga had a machine behind him like Ne-Yo and Chris that wonder Women would b a crAZy- crazY single that would have this summer on smash in mainstream that would make his album b even more inticapated!!!! tha nigga Trey is nice and he gets better wit every song That nigga shit is good fuck music 2 listen 2!!! Now i dont kno shit about his first album but all tha new mixtape shit he got and collabos he got all sound solid and way different from tha others which will make him unique and will make him that nigga n 07-08 when his drop bc he gonna have that fresh new sound that we despertly need!!! Bc Chris album was tha shit but he was young 4 us and Ne-yo is kinda really over- raTED!!!1 on sum real!!! Nigga lyrics is tha shit but dude really cant sing or dance!!!!! But we fuckz wit his songz!!!! Trey should b what niggas should b on tha look 4!! watch n c!! Tha nigga really is talented and comes wit hot concepts 4 his songz like a certain R&B great known as Robert Kelly!!!!!

Homeboy, can sing, he just makes bad songs, and they pick the wrong singles and to think he is under Troy Taylor, should be some classic records, its probably his camp hyping him up like he's this shit, somebody needs to be real with dude, he will probably be dropped after this album, bcz he ain't got it.......how long has wonder woman been out? Where is the promo or should I say anticipation? hilarious

I gotta admit Trey did come off as cocky but so what! He is that nigga for real...like many have stated he's one of the best singers in the game Him, Ne-yo and Chris came out at the same time and the only reason they blew up and he didn't is cause both of them dance. They were marketed to be the next "Usher" and people bought into that gimmick....Trey has no gimmick goes hard in the streets and has the potential to crossover if his damn label would get their ish together. His mixtapes are serious and the songs that have leaked so far from his album are hot...and to those people who say no one's lookin forward to his album look at this my space page...everyone was pissed when it got pushed back....he's hip hop/rnb/soul music and when Trey Day does finally drop maybe some of ya'll will recognize and stop hatin!

eerbody haz their opinionz...so me or other various fanz can`t b disappointed at lil` smart remarkz ppl r making. but i can relate to the feeling of impatience! ...i`m very pissed, but it iz wut it iz, it`s trey songz...i can wait another year or so...juz kiddin'.
but yah itz wutever,,,as long az it comez out...i`ll b gud...like trey said himself "i cant help BUT WAiT" so az hiz #1 supporting fan,..that`s about all i can do
I L0VE U TREY BAYBAA

Well I haven't seen the video due to my damn computer so I'm not sure of any cockiness but I can't wait for Trey's cd to drop. I enjoyed the first one, I enjoyed his mixtapes and will love the new cd after hearing some of the leaked songs off of it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion which isn't going to affect mine. If you have a great singing voice and make good music I'm a supporter. So for me to support the Trey's, Ne-Yo's and the Chris Brown's in R&B isn't nothing. All three have their own style and are individuals so I can't compare them.

Why all the hate. The first album was on point and the 2nd one is going 2 be fire 2. For someone people r not anticipating a lot of yall are wasting a lot of time on him. What's the point?

is this nigga serious..lol wtf his first album sucked and his new single WonderWoman or w.e the fuck it is....is straight wack he has a gud voice but he is a wack artist

I got the New Brandy Stuff Sweet Notings right here for your listening pleasure http://www.zshare.net/audio/2681306d0c1306/

I am definitely anticipating his sophomore album !! His first album was pure crack ! Come on now, "Gotta Go" , "Cheat on You" , "In the Middle" , "Hatin Love" , "I Gotta Make It" just to name a few ... hell he even got Aretha Franklin on the album ! That alone speaks for itself . People sleep on Trey's talent period ! If you was down with him since the mixtape scene then you would know how talented he is ! Peep out "Never Run" , "Set of Wings" , "Only You" .... He has worked with international artists & writes for other artists ! He can do R&B , Rap & Soul . What male R&B singer doing what he does right now ? So for people to sit there & say he's wack or nobody cares ... you gotta be out your damn mind ! Just b/c he ain't sell as many records as the next artist doesn't mean a damn thang . Now a days you can't base an artist's talent on how many records they sell . It ain't about the quantity but the quality ! Go hit up a venue & see him perform I bet you would love him by the end of the night ! He gives 110% in everything he does ! I bet the same people who say they aren't anticipating the album will be the same ones to bootleg the damn thang ! I've been a fan ever since 2005 & will continue to support him !

I can't wait for his album to come out and If you don't like wonder woman, you are obviously not one.

honestly. the only thing i agree with [that ya`ll are saying] is his ego but that`s about it. his album was good, it wasn`t "omg" type good but it wasn`t as bad as ya`ll made it seem like. && also, people ARE anticipating his album. shit, i am and so are a lot of other people i know. people are waiting for it, maybe you just don`t know anyone but people ARE anticipating his album.

go listen

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT HIM SPEAKIN HIGHLY OF HIMSELF? DOES THAT MAKE HIM COCKY ? HELL MUTHAFUCKIN NO. WHAT NIGGA U KNOW IS NOT GONNA DO THE EXACT SAME THING TO PROMOTE THEY ALBUM. EVERYTIME I SEE NE-YO, HIS BIGHEADED ASS IS ALWAYS SINGIN OR CONSTANTLY TALKIN ABOUT PEOPLES SHIT HE PRODUCED OR CO-WROTE....BUT WHEN TREY DO IT HE COCKY...I GUESS...AS FOR THAT GAY SHIT, A HATIN ASS BITCH WOULD SAY THAT..TREY DAY BABY...COMING SOON...GO COP 4 OF EM...HATIN ASS BITCHES.

Well since u like to bash trey lets get the bashin...u aint nothin but a soft chicken taco ass nigga...wanna interview people then bash them right afterwards..thats some ol' fruit basket cake ass shit...i cant stand a nigga that aint got nothin else to do but hate on a youngster tryna make it the right way. I just want to let it be known that regardless of what u say cocky or not trey songz is relevent to this R&B game...and to the haters on this page neva mind how many albums he sold....he's TREY SONGZ BITTTTCH....now stay sucka free...Lollipop ass niggas.

Okay, Okay, Okay... I cannot believe what I am seeing here... Cocky isn't what I look at it as. I see it as, he has put a little more into his second album and he is confident. I had the pleasure of hearing more than just a few tracks, Trey Day is what it is! Also, to try and compare him to Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, etc... get off of it... you can't even put Trey Songz in the same market as Ne-Yo and Chris Brown. OMG, I am gettin heated as I type this but anyways, it is what it is and like the previous person mentioned, you all are gonna be the same ones to boot leg it and on top of that, you are gonna have it on repeat!!! So, why not kill the hating, buy the actual album when it comes out so that it will reflect that he has sold albums. Yea, the first one sold between 400,000 to 500,000 copies, only because half of you haters out there bootlegged it and he didnt get credit for it! Now, you all do the math... Kill the hating...
I'm out.

ok! Who gives a rat ass about Trey songs?? Dude can snig now doubt! but he has no real presence.

Trey is sippin on some serious kool-aid to believe that ish!

it's all about attitude in this game, but any guy that sings and dances is 'how you doin'?
a woman and a woman on the side?
riiiiiiiiiight.

ok am i like the only one that loved the first album like he had some hott track on it i loved gotta make it, my favorite song was all the ifs, i loved in the middle i loved gotta go, i loved womens hand, i love hatin love, i loved coming for you like i thought it wuz goo i loved the album i thiink he is underated and its definatly nothing wrong with beliving in your self it dont come off as cocky to me im anticipating his next album for sure

How are so many hating on Trey? Have you taken the time to listen to his music? I mean Who cares about selling records? At least he puts out quality music instead of boring ass ballads like Neyo who has a horrible stage presence and his voice isn't as good as Trey's! I like Lil Chrissy Brown but again thats music for the Kiddies... Not a fan of R.Kelly but Trey has alot of similar vocal capabilities as the R Ra and at least his songs are different....Wonder Woman Gotta Go...Just gotta make it...We gotta love YOUR BEHIND ha ha


Trey Day...I'm waitin for it

Haters jump off

because justins album was garbage, Neyos garbage, whos checkin for Tyrese? and Mario? who has ever checked for him except Diddys ass? Tank lol

And Ginuwine Is not garbage and is not in that lil category! Ginuwine still that dude

aaaaaaaanyways everybody checkin for the Carter 3
yeeezz zarr

@chickenpuss

does ne one else think its weird he sort of copied Beyonce with B'Day and his is called Tray Day? i think thats kinda wack but i dk i really like cant help but wait and wonder woman!

trey might be cocky...but so what...i still love him.."trey day" will be copped...believe that

i think trey iz sooo sexcii..but he need 2 step hiz game up..but his voice sexcii az hell!!!

Trey is hot, hands down. I had to see him live in person to really appreciate what he does. He is crazy on the mic and I will get anything that comes out with his voice on it.

Compared with Neyo and Chris Brown, he wins. He is more real than the both of them and his voice is crazy!

He is cocky, but what artist isn't these days. I think he has to be as cocky as he is because people don't know about him yet so he has a lot to prove.

He won me over a long time ago. I still listen to his first album, and when Trey Day comes out, thats going to be played in heavy rotation!

People need to listen to more of his stuff, he is hot, hands down!!!

okay so yall are way to harsh. yea he's an arrogant guy but he said nothing in this interview that was offensive. he just said ppl are anticipating him, which is true. everyone knows he's one of the best singers/songwriters out but he doesnt get the props. why? i honeslty believe is label doesnt support him, same way kelly doesnt get supported the way beyonce does. chris is yung so he gets the shine, but on stage trey has neyo, but then again u have to understand that def jam supports the shit our of neyo, i cant say the same about atlantic. i will say i was suprised trey didnt even go gold. and u guys sayin his 1st album wasnt good are crazy. i selpt on trey for a mintute, but the lyrics and the singing on his album were great, especially songs all the ifs where you can really feel the emotion. i have neyo and chris 1st album also and treys album is just aas good if not better. you guys need to really back off of him, if you dont like him okay, but dont add to the negativity. the man is tryna be about his business and make his money, and i think its honestly doesnt get his props. but then i think about ppl like ti who didnt blow for a long time and i have hope.

Trey is fine...so, really what else is there to talk about?...(long pause)...I didn't think so...

all yal fuckin hatin ass bitches need to fall baq and hop off his dick. if yall wasnt caring about him yall wouldnt b wastin yall time here talkin bout him. love him or hate him yall still thinkin bout him. and none of these new artist aint got nothin on trey concerning his vocal skills or his talent. so y yall jocking. basically my boo is doin it big and yall mad cause yall not in his position. he got somethin to b conceited about and yall help him by doin little petty shit like this. trey seems like he is a sweet person, he never say anything or did anything disrespectfull so get off his back. To anybody that said anything bad about my baby, If u got a problem wit it get @ me myspace.com/n_a_n_a_reppinbk

iono y all of u r hating on trey songz...he sings better than ne-yo and even chris brown... and hes SEXXED 2... hes not even dat cocky... and he doesnt get the recognition he deserves
and NUFF PPL cant wait for trey day

This is such a sad thing to see...so many people have time to bash other people when they are in worse situations than the person THEY ARE HATING ON....Get a life...I thought people were suppose to be happy about seeing another person do their thing and be PROUD of it...I've heard a few people say he is arrogant, cocky, and so forth....but so the hell what....SO WHAT if he is happy with what he does and want others to appreciate what he does for a living? He is a very hardworking individual...and if my dreams came true...I'd be happy too....Trey Songz being a crappy artist...NEVER THAT....Underrated by others....maybe...but he has talent and I can't wait till he shuts most of ya'll THE HELL UP!!! Either you love it or you hate it...and if you hate it...find something better to do with you life then write about it.....it's only giving him more publicity ;)...so think about it.....TREY DAY....IN STORES NOW COP THE ALBUM!!!!!

Ew, haaaatterrs. I could not just come on here & see all the crap ¬ say something. Everybody talking is only making him more famous, thanks kidds. And for everybody to know, Trey has a huge fan base & there are thousands of people that were anticipating the release of his album. If you hate him, why ya'll talking? Dont make sense, go read a book.

Trey Songz is R&B, I definitely agree they are trying to make Neyo and Chris Brown the new Usher and I am pissed that Trey Songz or Bobby Valentino does not get the respect they deserve. I want their record labels to start promoting them because they are sleeping on the job and it is not fair because Trey and Bobby deserve to be out there. I have heard Trey Songz new cd and it is the business. if you have not heard it yet, please all I ask if that you listen to ROLE PLAY not to mention Wonder Woman, and the new hit...All I can say is WOW....But u know his people suck what took them so long with the next video...Like I said b4...he needs a better team behind him and for those that said his 1st cd was whack...then u don't what R&B is because it was definitely that...Trey and Bobby are definitely two of the hottest SINGERS (REAL SINGERS...NOT STUDIO SINGES (I.E. CHRIS BROWN, MARIO (FILL IN THE BLANKS))...I believe that if you think Trey Songz is whach its because u have been boughten by the publicity bug..U like who and what the media tells u to like...Oh and to the haters...Justin Timberlake's cd was also the bomb...I was surprised it was so good...

oh man what are you all doing? It seems like the only thing you do is writing comments. Don’t be crazy!

I am trying to keep from reading trash like this. Man, you are sick. How did this came to your mind?
