December was getting a little too crowded, as many major Hip Hop artists were looking to drop fourth quarter albums. Def Jam, who has released new albums from Jay-Z and Freeway in the past month, has decided to push back Rick Ross' sophomore LP, Trilla to February, 2008.

Trilla is Ross' follow-up to Port of Miami, his debut album that hit the top of the charts thanks to his smash hit single "Hustlin'". His new single, "Speedin'" has thus far failed to duplicate his previous success.

Trilla features production from the Runners, The Neptunes, and Mannie Fresh.

Def Jam has also pushed back the release of Nas' new album, the controversial title and all. The album, entitled Nigger, will also be released in February of '08, according to MTV.
