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.

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.
