Trey Songz sets September 14 release date for New Album

No one expected Trey Songz to blow the way that he did following the release of Ready. Having been in the game for some time, Trey Songz had yet to separate himself from the rest of the pack. Most people saw the male R&B game as too crowded for Trey Songz to stand out.

However, by the end of 2009, Trey Songz had the attention of everyone. Even the CEO of hip hop, Jay-Z, was listening and he added Trey Songz to his tour for The Blueprint 3. Not only did the two unite for the tour, but Jay-Z also wants Trey Songz for his next album.

Trey Songz would land a new friendship with Jeezy and Jay-Z and a starring role in a BET reality show. Capitalizing off of his popularity, energy, and success, Songz jumped right back into the studio. His album will continue some of the themes from Ready, but he will have two big name guests. Those guests will be Jeezy and Jay-Z.

Already talking with Kevin Liles and the rest of the brass over the Atlantic Records Group, Trey Songz has set a release date for his new album. Currently untitled, Trey Songz is expected to release his next album on September 14 of this year.

Trey Songz continues takeover with BET Reality Show

Last year, Trey Songz rose to become the top male R&B singer in the game. His popularity did not go unnoticed by Jay-Z. Always looking to work with the hottest entertainers out there, Jay-Z invited him to join his tour for The Blueprint 3. Sensing the opportunity of his career, Songz agreed to join. He would be joining Jeezy on this tour.

When Trey Songz first joined The Blueprint 3 tour, he did not know either of the rappers that well. However, after spending four months on the road together, a bond was made. Jay-Z has thought so much of Trey Songz that he wants to record with him. Not only that but, Jay-Z also wants to form a supergroup alongside Jeezy.

Plans for the supergroup may be on hold, but BET has liked the chemistry between the men. Because of that, they have reached out to Jay-Z about a reality show. The series will follow Trey Songz and Jeezy and Jay-Z will simply be a producer. Expected to premiere sometime in the near future, "Blue Print" will soon be on BET.
