Trey Songz thrives under pressure. On his debut album "Gotta Make It," he sang with veteran grit and an old soul, even alongside the legendary Aretha Franklin, who joined him for a duet. Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun hailed him one of the most promising stars to ever sign to the label. The industry took notice and Songz has become a hook incubator, ridin' with Jim Jones, Bun B, Mike Jones, Twista, and Saigon, and one of the leaders of R&B's new school.
