Trey Songz Passion, Pain & Pleasure

Not one to watch his time in the spotlight fade, R&B crooner Trey Songz keeps himself busy. Most of the time, it appears he's is in the studio either recording his own material or providing hooks for pals like Lil Wayne and Drake. The Virginia native also apparently finds time to bang out a slew of remixes and freestyles, which he began doing heavily in 2008. And even though Songz's third album, the gold-selling Ready, was only released in August 2009, he immediately began crafting Passion, Pain & Pleasure. Details remain scarce on the album, other than the fact it's likely to be filled with sexed-up club balladry. But expect previous collaborators Drake and Fabolous to make an appearance along with producer Troy Taylor.
