Trilla is the second studio album by Miami rapper Rick Ross, released on March 11, 2008.[1] The first single was "Speedin'" featuring R&B singer R. Kelly. "Street Money" featuring Flo Rida was thought to be the second single, but was released as a street single and it did not make the final cut. The second single was chosen to be "The Boss" featuring T-Pain instead. His third single is "Here I Am" featuring Nelly and Avery Storm.
