    Rap-Up.com: Trey Songz Reveals Favorite Jay-Z Song, Potential Collaboration
    Posted by Atlantic Records on March 15, 2010

    The past year has been full of career highs for Trey Songz. His latest album Ready went gold, he landed his first-ever Hot 100 Top 10 single with "Say Aah," and can currently be seen playing arenas nationwide on one of the biggest tours of the year. The R&B crooner checks in with Rap-Up.com from the road to share what he brings to the "BP3" tour, his favorite Jay-Z song, and whether a collaboration with his tourmate is in the cards.

    Shawn Carter may be the headliner, but Trey Songz has been pulling in the female fans night after night. "I told Jay, 'I'm there for the ladies. I'm bringing more ladies out to you, Hov,'" Trey laughs. Each brings something different to the table. "Jeezy got the streets and Jay-Z is the blueprint. Simple and plain."

    Touring with Jigga has been a dream come true for Trigga, who grew up listening to the rap veteran. "Even before I knew that singing was something that I would be doing as a career, I would listen to Jay-Z all day," he says. "Even though I'm an R&B singer, he's one of my main inspirations, so to be on tour with him years later is surreal and definitely a testament to what hard work and persistence can get you."

Keep growing closer to God and following the teachings of Jesus. You will keep prospering. As you honor God He honors you. stay humble. It's not always simple or easy to get to where God ordained you to go but with Christ as your guide, driver you will always get there. love ya Tremaine

The road to success is not straight,there is a curve called failure,a loop called confusion,speed bumps called friends,red lights called enemies,caution called a family,you will have flats called jobs,but if u have a spare called determination,an engine called perseverance,insurance called faith,and a driver called jesus u will make it to a place called success yuuup!!!l LUV U TRIZZY:)
