Rankings are determined by song quality, album consistency, and impact on the genre. Keep in mind, however, that this list ONLY includes his seven studio LPs, so no mixtapes or EPs for this convo. It’s time to look back at Trey’s discography, ranking it from bottom to top. And the greatest fruits of his labor have resulted in some of the most celebrated albums and songs of the past 10 years. That resulting decade proved to be hit or miss for the homie, but I always give credit when due – when he’s focused, Trey is in a league of his own.

And in the late 2000s, when R&B began to struggle with its identity crisis, Trey seemed poised to lift the banner and confidently carry us into the next decade.

His signature vocals are an evolution of R&B’s soulful foundations but hardened with a hip-hop edge. He’s a native of Petersburg, Va., just down the road from where my parents currently reside. Trey Songz is one of those artists I wanted to win right from the gate.
