Trilla is the second studio album by Miami rapper Rick Ross, released March 11, 2008, on Slip-n-Slide Records, Def Jam Recordings and Poe Boy Entertainment. The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 198,000 copies its first week.[11]

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. The album features guest appearences by Mannie Fresh, EbonyLove, DJ Khaled, Trey Songz, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Trick Daddy, Young Jeezy, Triple C's, Brisco, Rodney and J Rock.

The album has now been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, and has sold over 700,000 copies in the United States.
