Trey Songz has built quite the reputation for himself since bursting on the R&B scene as a fresh-faced singer in 2005. Releasing his debut album, I Gotta Make It, that same year, the Virginia native quickly established himself as one of the more promising new R&B artists in the game. Ten years later, the man born Tremaine Neverson is a full-fledged star with more hit songs than people have fingers. While he is musically one of the most acclaimed artists of today, he’s also very popular with the ladies, hence his moniker “Mr. Steal Your Girl,” which has proven to break up more than a few happy homes.

Despite those unfortunate instances, Trey is continuing to gift us with quality tales of love and lust with his latest album, Trigga Reloaded. A revamped version of his 2014 release, the Reloaded version features four newly-recorded songs, all of which only enhance the listening experience of the original. Listening to the album, aside from the songs being superb, we noticed a lot of game being spat in between the lines. And not just your average at-the-bar-tryna-pick-up-a-chick game, but premium spittage.

Taking note of that, we decided to try to lend a helping hand to the fellas by giving them a cheat sheet full of choice lyrics from Trigga Reloaded. These lines are sure to get anyone in good with that girl next door, the man-eater at the club or any other kind of woman you desire.

1. “I got 525,600 women / They come around and we take ’em all down, kick ’em out when we finished / They cool, but they not like you, baby girl, it’s just different / Girl, you got me on one and I don’t know what I’m gon’ do / ‘Cause now you got me loving you”
“Loving You” Featuring Ty Dolla $ign

Men may catch flack from the prudes from keeping a stable of prospective cuties for the random late-night booty call, but this line is sure to get you around that roadblock. Instead of running away from your philandering ways, sweetly explain that despite your checkered past, you’re solely interested in earning her love and affection. Honesty is always the key to fruitful relationships.

2. “I’d like to have dessert for starters / Tell me, baby, can you take my order? / Hey, pretty lady, give me some of that cake / I’d like to place an order, ooh, I just want a taste”
“Cake”

A popular setting for a first date is somewhere you can eat and get to know each other. After easing her in for small talk, go in for the kill and toss these random lines. If she gives you that sexy smirk, you’re in there. And if not, you can always chalk it up as a corny joke and take the L, but this one should work effectively with the right delivery.

3. “Serve it up, serve it up, girl your loving is the bestest / Working up an appetite and baby, you’re my breakfast / Oh, you’re so delicious / I’ll do your dirty dishes”
“Serve It Up”
These lines are for the fellas that are fond of a little breakfast in bed with their significant other. After the meal is finished, whisper this in her ear and sparks are sure to fly. Just be ready to break out the Palmolive after the climax though.

4. “Bring your body here right now, I’ma knock it right down / Say you got a n—-, go figure, take another sip of this liquor / Talk a little s— ’cause my d— much bigger / Baby, let me tell you a lil something bout Trigga”
“Dead Wrong”
Regardless of how you feel about the matter, the fact is that some women will commit adultery and even seek satisfaction outside of their relationship. Well, if you’re game and confident enough, talking down her man and bragging about your prowess in the sheets may be enough to convince that already taken women to go home with you. Just be sure to tread lightly because if her man finds out, it could be a recipe for disaster, which is never a good thing.

5. “Shorty let your hair down and take a sip / Go and put this joint between your lips / Baby, (ooooh), why don’t you make yourself comfortable / Why don’t I go and put this tongue on you”
“Slow Motion”
When you finally get the girl of your dreams in your home, the one thing you want her to be is comfortable above anything else. If she takes part in libations, offer her a drink and a little bit of greenery, to set the mood. Gaining a woman’s trust and getting her to let her guard down is mission impossible for some men, but if her inhibitions are released for the night, she may be more open to your sweet nothings and banter.

6. “One o’clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 4 / 5′ o’clock, 6 o’clock, you can hit cha boy / If you ain’t the type of bitch talking ’bout relationships / Hit me up on that late-night s—“
“Late Night”

If you’re only interested in a late-night creep, just keep it real and tell her upfront. Women are nearly as sexually whimsical as men these days, so there’s a chance that after telling a hottie this, she might just oblige. Sometimes being shameless can work in your favor and lead you to receiving the goods without the hassle.
7. “Hit it seven days ’cause ya know ya man’s weak / Make ya body talk, don’t I make that thang speak / Such a freak, I only been here for two weeks / Came wit’ her girls and they tryna leave wit me”
“Foreign” Remix Featuring Justin Bieber

There’s no sex like vacation sex. Especially if it’s with an extremely attractive chick you’ll most likely never see again. You may only have a few days to come up on a rendezvous, but if you take the approach Trigga delivers here and spit this brand of pimpage, you may get extra lucky and end up with a menage for your troubles.
8. “I only want what’s best for you / It’s not what’s good for me / It’s not about what I want / But it’s all about what you need”
“What’s Best for You”

The customer is always right, especially if that buyer happens to be the woman you’re attempting to sell your worth to. Make sure she feels that everything is about her and that your sole purpose on this earth is to please her. That’s a good start to breaking down her rough exterior on the way to melting her heart.

9. “I feel you / But it won’t kill you to let me get near you / Your lipsticks meet my kisses / So baby, stop tripping”
“Change Your Mind”
Women can play hard to get at time and when all is fails, sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind and tell her to stop playing games and let you love her. She may curve, but she may also agree and finally give in to your advances. This is similar to the last second jumper and all but a shot in the dark, but a bad shot is better than letting the clock expire without shooting any day.

10. “Ain’t by chance that we’re here / Only got one life to live so let me change your mind / You say that I’m bad for ya, that’s fine / Sometimes bad is a good time / Don’t you be shy, let me change your mind / You never had a night only / Well, you don’t need to be lonely / Come get to know me”
“Change Your Mind”
After a life-long journey of multiple lovers, there comes a time when a man is ready to settle down. For one night, that is. And while the good girls may be leery of your advances, persistence and dedication will get you further than any cheap catcall. And who knows, you may go in looking for a quick thrill, but end up with something much more and actually find love.



What Trey Songz said about traffic in Nigeria

What Trey Songz said about traffic in Nigeria

Christmas came early for Nigeria as Tremaine Neverson, popularly known as Trey Songz, arrived in the country to headline a concert on Friday at Eko Convention Centre, Victoria Island in Lagos.

Songz, who was in town for the 11th edition of the Rhythm Unplugged Concert,said he was appalled by the traffic he experienced.

The Na Na hit maker arrived on Thursday and during a press conference at the Eko Hotel, Trey said he was amazed by the traffic in Lagos.

It took him a little over 2 hours to get to his hotel from the airport and Trey couldn’t believe it.

During the press conference he also expressed his intention to thrill Nigerian fans and music lovers with his best performance yet.

“For me it has never been just one song and leave, it’s going to be a number of songs and we’ll take it from there as the feeling goes,” the singer said.

The event was one of the most anticipated in Nigeria and Songz reportedly gave quite a performance.

He took to stage to perform a number of his hit songs and, the American star stunned the females further by pulling off his shirt to give everyone an up and close look at his ripped body.

Basketmouth and Bovi hosted the event and there were several performances from Nigerian music stars including M.I Abaga, Wizkid and Runtown .

Comedy acts also wowed the crowds with top names Bovi, Buchi, and Okey Bakassi taking the stage.

According to Pulse Nigeria, Trey Songz confirmed his collaboration with Nigerian pop star Davido and also expressed his desire to meet Wizkid.

“I’m looking to make records with artistes from Nigeria. I have a record with Davido, and I’m looking forward to meeting Wizkid. As the world expands via improved communication and acceptance of pop sounds, the lines get blurred and we will have one unified sound.” Trey said.

Songz is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer and actor.

His debut album, I Gotta Make It, was released in 2005 through Atlantic Records.

His follow up album, Trey Day, spawned his first top 20 single, Can’t Help but Wait.

His latest albums include Trigga (2014) and the full length Intermission I and II (May 2015). However, half of the tracks on the album were previously available on the Intermission EP, which was released on April 2015.

Trey Songz defends August Alsina, speaks out about BET performance

Trey Songz shocked the crowd Sunday night when he appeared alongside R&B artist August Alsina during the newcomer’s performance at the BET Awards.

The two singers have reportedly been through some rocky moments in their friendship, which even led Alsina to curtly dismiss any inquiries of their alleged beef during a recent broadcast on 106 & Park.

But it seems as though the two have resolved their issues after they wow’d the audience and performed alongside each other for Alsina’s hit song, “I Luv this S**t.” Chris Brown also joined the two men on stage — helping to deliver one of the most memorable performances of the night.

In an interview with theGrio Monday, Trey Songz opened up about his collaboration with Alsina at the BET Awards and what that moment meant for him considering their recent fallout.

“It was an amazing moment in R&B, first of all,” Songz told theGrio’s Lilly Workneh. “A lot of us got caught up in August’s remarks about me early on, a few months ago. I never really got caught up in that because I know what it’s like being a young artist and have people on your a**.”

Songz referred to Alsina’s 106 & Park appearance when host Keisha Chante inquired about the alleged beef between the two men. Alsina’s response came with an abrupt dismissal as he told Chante: “I just told you not to ask me that s**t when I got up in here.”

To some, his response signaled that his rift with Songz at the time was ongoing — but Sunday night’s performance quickly put an end to the dispute as the two singers embraced each other in open arms onstage.

“You’re going through hell on promo trying to put your album out, you got people asking you about this guy you’re not really getting along with right now,” Songz said in Alsina’s defense. “Sometimes you slip up and say things you really don’t mean. And we had a conversation and he told me that, later on down the line. And I think it was great for the culture and for the people that really aren’t paying that much attention to see that even though we were at odds at one point in time, we came together, and to see Chris come together, too.”

Alsina and Brown left the stage following their performance while Songz remained and performed one of his latest hit singles, “Na Na” from his latest album Trigga.

This is the sixth studio album for the Grammy-nominated singer – and this time, he has partnered with Target, who will be the only retailer offering an exclusive deluxe album featuring three bonus songs: “Hard to Walk Away,” “Serial” and “Sneaky.”
