Today Trey Songz's much anticipated "MTV Unplugged" performanced premiered over on MTV.com. He tapped this a few months back, not long after coming off of the BP3 tour with Jay-Z and Jeezy.
We haven't seen an MTV Unplugged performance from an R&B act since Alicia Keys. So for MTV to add Trey to the select few who've had this opportunity says a lot about his growth as an artist.

We haven't seen an MTV Unplugged performance from an R&B act since Alicia Keys. So for MTV to add Trey to the select few who've had this opportunity says a lot about his growth as an artist. I'm glad to see that people are finally realizing how talented of an artist he is and giving him the recognition he deserves.
Here's what Trey Songz had to say about joining the elite rank of "MTV Unplugged" performers:
"At this point in my career, with all the opportunity arising, this is definitely a major highlight within those opportunities," he says. "I saw a write up on MTV.com and they described my performance as a star-making set. That's crazy to read, and I think "Unplugged" has been that for so many people. It's a chance to highlight an artist, a chance for them to be vulnerable, a chance for them to contort their music and give it to people a different way. To show that I'm truly an artist and that I love to do what I do, making music. To do it on that platform, the same one as so many artist before me is just really amazing."
Watching this performance you would never know that Trey only had a day to put it together, he really out did himself with this performance. It's definitely one to remember. So enjoy it because I know I did.
