Georgia rapper Pastor Troy ignited a firestorm of controversy after announcing plans to title his newest album Saddam Hussein. While he's since reconsidered, opting for the less controversial title Tool Muziq, Troy says the music hasn't cooled down a bit.

Asked about his decision to change the album title, Pastor Troy says ultimately the shift hasn't affected much.

"I ain't disappointed. It'll work out, the album still has that Saddam element so they still gonna feel it good," Troy told SOHH. "It wasn't any disrespect or nothing like that. I don't want to take over the world, it's just the mood of the album. Everybody know Saddam don't play, and I don't play on the album."

Troy takes his music seriously, making a conscious effort to identify with listeners and talk about situations common in life's everyday struggle.

"I try to put myself into everybody's shoes. That's how you gotta rap. Everybody's not rich, everybody's not straight; You gotta put yourself in everybody's shoes or you're speaking to a small select few."

Tool Muziq hits stores this Tuesday (July 3) and features appearances from Gangsta Boo, Fabo of D4L and Hitman Sammy Sam. Frequent Young Jeezy collaborators Shawty Redd and Drumma Boy contributed tracks to the set, as did Zaytoven, a producer known for his work with Gucci Mane.

"With this one I really just had a lot of control with the producers that I wanted to use. I used the dudes that I really wanted to work with, and that's a plus," Pastor Troy said. "With a major, they try to encourage the big names, but it's not necessarily the names that's doing it. Like Scott Storch or whoever, I don't want no tracks from him. I'm just different, it's a different kind of music that I like. I like that hard stuff and we gonna give it to them."

Tool Muziq is being released independently through Troy's label Money and the Power Records and SMC Records, an arrangement that Pastor Troy is extremely pleased with.

"We make about 5 or 6 dollars a CD," Troy revealed, "With a major, they might want to make you promote an album for a year. As an independent, I can put this album out, sell it and then be ready to drop another album in four months. It's all about what you want, if you want the fame and glory, television and that stuff, you can have it, but I like my position."

Pastor Troy's Tool Muziq hits stores on July 3.

Wie auf den meisten Songs fällt es Dougie auch hier schwer seine Aussagen in stilvolle Worte zu kleiden, auffällig inflationär tauchen die Worte "Niggaz" und "Bitches" auf. Wer damit Schwierigkeiten hat, der wird wahrscheinlich überhaupt keinen Zugang zu diesem Longplayer finden.

The aggressiveness of Pastor Troy is still in his heart and it's evident as he lets it out on the amped up banger "Attitude Adjuster". Throughout the whole album you get Troy's best music with his hyped-up crunk style along with a dose of realistic lyricism. His huge reputation in the South has gotten him the opportunity to work closely with super-producers like Timbaland and Lil' Jon and with Superstar rappers like Ludacris, Young Jeezy, Lil' Flip and more recently Chamillionaire appearing on Chamillionaire's Platinum selling album "The Sound of Revenge". Troy's last major label album "By Any Means Necessary" in 2005 debuted at #1 on the Billboard Rap Charts and just to prove Troy's momentum hasn't slowed down, he's ready to release his best album to date. The first single "My Box Chevy" is rapidly building a buzz for Pastor Troy's new album "Attitude Adjuster". Troy is ready once again, to show the world why he is recognized as being the first artist to make the South's Crunk Movement so popular.
