Trey Songz is set to pull the ‘Trigga’ on July 1st when his sixth studio album blasts into stores.

So as to whet appetites, the R&B crooner unveiled the LP’s accompanying cover – which is easily his most creative yet.

From a Rap remix from the Nicki Minaj-inspired Newella Cruella to a traditional cover by singer David Burton, peep the cut like you’ve never seen it before…below!
