Trey Songz looks to add another stripper anthem to his growing collection of quality dancefloor hit with the twerktastic ‘How Dat Sound.’

Tapping 2 Chainz and Yo Gotti to assist, the club-ready bop does bang (admittedly) as Songz barks out instruction to local heauxs to “stick that ass out” over the bass-heavy chorus between hot verses from Gotti and co.

Rihanna fans have been all sorts of thirsty for new music from the Bajan belle.

And understandably why.

In past times, the star had poured out McAlbums albums on a yearly basis. Yet, the run-up to 2016’s ‘ANTI’ and the period following has seen all of that change.
