Aside from that, I really enjoy the instrumental’s dark tone, as it does a good job of provoking both Trey Songz and featured guest Swae Lee to go through the motions on their respective contributions.
There are a couple of reasons I enjoy “Body High:” For one, it’s lawless, featuring no real structure, and secondly, it straddles the line between rap and R&B masterfully. I personally like reckless and catchy for all three of these guys. Not only does it feature this explosive hook and instrumental, but Trey and featured guests Yo Gotti and 2 Chainz were also able to let loose on their respective verses, giving us something just as reckless as it is catchy.
However, things may have changed today, because with “How Dat Sound,” the Virginia-born singer was able to gift us with this brash/unapologetic/raunchy/high-octane banger that I can certainly see blowing up. Unfortunately, these last couple of years, he hasn’t been as lucky. There was once a time Trey Songz dropped a new club hit every year. Trigga Trey gets back to his despicable ways on “How Dat Sound.” S**t, If her body is that good, we may need to use it as a trading piece for international relations.
I love how Trigga Trey gets lost in the emotional instrumental he was served with, practically sounding like he’s getting stabbed, dragged and stoned while he’s singing.
Though Trey Songz has mastered making explosive club hits, you have to appreciate his ability to create soulful music, too one of my favorite on this project is “Drugz.” On it, Trey pretty much gets on his knees, pleading to have this bad ass chick’s body from dusk to dawn. At the age of 34, I still think he has a couple of good years left in him, and with the release of “11/28,” a double-disc/star-studded project, it seems music execs and his peers think so, too. I feel like for my generation, he broke down barriers, ushering in a style of R&B music that meshed pretty well with trendy hip hop. Whenever Trey Songz decides to hang up the mic, he will go down as one of the most successful singers of his era.
