Trill album
 $14.89  
While Southern rapper Pimp C, one half of underground heroes UGK, spins stories familiar in the world of modern hip-hop, there's a grand nature to his tales that recalls 1970s blaxploitation films. On "I'm a Hustler," Pimp C weaves a vivid urban fable of a gangsta life, bolstered by an entrancing Curtis Mayfield-esque chorus. Unfortunately, he's lived that SUPERFLY life, and his second record, THE SWEET JAMES JONES STORIES, drops with Pimp C jailed for assault with a deadly weapon. However, incarceration hasn't prevented the rapper from releasing a darkly fascinating portrait of his life.
One of Pimp C's strongest attributes is that, like the cultured pimp character from many movies, he's proficient and passionate in his ultra-violent turf, but is acutely aware of the world outside of it. He drops names like Johnny "Guitar" Watson with ease, while alternating modern crunk beats ...
| | Z-Ro Let The Truth Be Told CD (2005)
Trill CD music
$14.89
This sort of variety marks LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD, a wonderfully dynamic record that finds the under-the-radar rapper continuing to do what he does best, in both viciously dark and easy-going manners. On "Platinum," Z-Ro raps about the softer and harder sides of the business over a lush backing track, while on "I'm a Soldier" he reverts to edgy posturing with sufficient force. Although Z-Ro churns out records, he puts his heart into each one, and LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD stands as prime example of his skill.
Incredibly prolific Houston rapper Z-Ro opens his 2005 release, LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD, by paying homage to one of hip-hop's all-time classics, Eric B. & Rakim's "Paid in Full," musing over the familiar bassline (from Dennis Edwards's "Don't Look Any Further") before launching into a breathless freestyle bout. While it's fairly ...
| | Paul Wall People's Champ CDs (2005) Bonus CD; Limited Edition
Trill music CDs
$17.05 
Includes a bonus disc in the Southern Rap "screwed" mix style.
Houston's place on the hip-hop map was beginning to gain focus by the mid 2000s, and rapper Paul Wall--of iced out grill fame--was at the forefront of that effort. His 2005 release THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP (released concurrently with a Chopped and Screwed remix version), finds its home in the beats and party themes that typify the Dirty South style, with plenty of woozy tempos, brain-bending samples, and rapid-fire raps drawled smooth and easy.
The album's first single, "Sittin' Sidewayz," is a case in point, with Salih Williams's top-notch production providing the perfect context ...
| | Chamillionaire The Sound of Revenge CD (2005) Parental Advisory
Trill songs
$12.45
With THE SOUND OF REVENGE, Chamillionaire's 2005 Universal debut, the Houston-based rapper makes the most of his major-label deal, which includes his own Chamillitary imprint. On SOR, Paul Wall's former collaborator amps up that duo's signature chopped-and-screwed mixtape sound with heavy-duty arrangements that expertly showcase Chamillionaire's deep, husky voice. The introductory title track is marked by machine-gun beats, and establishes the album's fierce, restless mood. But the disc's ...
| | Twista Day After CD (2005)
Trill album
$15.39 
After nearly a decade as an underground favorite for his near-impossible rapid-fire raps, Chicago MC Twista suddenly exploded on the scene with one of the biggest hits of 2004, "Slow Jamz," and its accompanying KAMIKAZE, along with gaudy appearances on many other major R&B hits. A year later, Twista returns with THE DAY AFTER, a consistently solid record that echoes the sound of its predecessor.
THE DAY AFTER's title track starts things off, as a flurry of chaos gives way to a soulfully panoramic, strikingly earnest view of a near-fatal experience. Twista follows with the extraordinarily sinister, predatory "Check That Hoe," ...
| | Juelz Santana What The Game's Been Missing CD (2005) With DVD; Limited Edition; Deluxe Edition
Trill CD music
$15.55
With the swift wit and relaxed swagger that marked his many guest appearances for Cam'Ron, Harlem rapper Juelz Santana quickly established himself as the one to watch in that rapper's Dipset crew. After a solid, if uneven 2003 solo debut, Santana delivered on the hype with his second release, 2005's WHAT THE GAME'S BEEN MISSING.
A remarkably versatile MC, Santana can paint a desperate, vivid picture of growing up in the concrete jungle ("Rumble Young Man Rumble") or unleash tremendous fire as he ponders the roots of rap's often bloody state-of-affairs ("Violence"). However, he can also turn a sinister Geto Boys sample into a tender ode ...
