Rick Ross News

Now that Rick Ross' Mastermind is out of the way it's time for some of the others on the Maybach Music Group roster to get their fair share of the Spotlight. Torch hit up All Hip-Hop to talk a little about his upcoming EP, Remember When. Torch elaborated on the title choice, saying:

Have you ever scrolled through Instagram and instantly bursted into uncontrollable laughter? Raised your eyebrow? Scratched your head? Instantly smiled? Thought, "Damn. That's dope."?  Stared at your phone? Did an instant repost? HNHH is sure you've answered yes to at least one of those questions.

Rick Ross swung by CRWN and conducted a lengthy conversation with the host, Elliot Wilson, their topics ranging from Mastermind to Kanye, and we learned a great deal about the Rozay and his music.

Rick Ross took yet another trip to Power 105's Breakfast club, this time in promotion of his brand new album, Mastermind. Ross spoke on a number of subjects during his interview, answering a few questions that fans have had on their minds.

Along with recent interview for Power 105's the Breakfast Club, as well as an uninspired performance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Rick Ross also paid a visit to MTV's RapFix Live as part of his Mastermind publicity.

Rick Ross and Jeezy squashed their longtime beef earlier this year with the release of "War Ready" a single which appearaed om Ross' brand new Mastermind album. The pairing came as a shock, but what wasn't revealed at the time of release was that the session produced another collaboration as well.

We found out yesterday that ScHoolboy Q's Oxymoron debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, while Kid Cudi's Satellite Flight debuted at #4. Today, we receive sale projections for both Rick Ross' Mastermind and Pharrell's G I R L album, which dropped on the same day when Rozay decided to push up his release date.

50 Cent was up to his usual troll-ish ways this week, posting some photos of Rick Ross and Diddy to insinuate that the the two rappers were actually gay lovers. He ended up deleting the post shortly afterward, but of course, nothing dies on the internet, and the pic made circulation anyway.

In the last two years between his last album and now, Rick Ross has been through a lot, including surviving a targeted hit on his life. Critics bashed God Forgives, I Don’t and many wondered if Ross had peaked too soon and lost his touch.

With the successful release of Rick Ross' sixth studio album, Mastermind, (although, there was a shooting at his DeKalb County album release party, so that wasn't very successful) the rapper has kicked off some interview promotion. We recently saw him talk to Angie Martinez on Hot 97, and now he's spoken to TIME.

Pharrell had a huge 2013, but this year is shaping up to be even bigger for him. Today, he released his long-awaited follow up to In My Mind, the love-letter to women, G I R L, and with his current single "Happy" sitting at #1 on Billboard, it's likely that the album will do the same this week.

This is all too familiar territory when it comes to 50 Cent.

Rick Ross' new album Mastermind was originally supposed to arrive on March 4th, tomorrow, however Rozay has decided to push it up a day and released it today, on March 3rd.

Diddy may want to consider laying low for a minute. Not 24 hours after a shooting at a CIAA after party at Charlotte, NC's Sheraton hotel, which he hosted alongside Future and Fabolous, another occurred during a release party for Rick Ross' Mastermind album at a DeKalb County, Georgia nightclub, which he also

Rick Ross' new album, Mastermind began streaming for free last night, and a lyric controversy has already arisen as a result. The line in question comes in the 11th track, "Black & White" where Ross says "Trayvon Martin, I’m never missing my target".

Rick Ross unleashed a full album stream for his anticipated Mastermind album last night, which is Rozay's sixth studio LP. Ross has been dubbing the project, which is executive produced by Diddy, his best yet. While we'll have to give it a thorough listen to decide on that, what are your initial impressions? 

 Just like Pharrell, Ricky Rozay is getting ready to release his new album Mastermind next Tuesday. Tonight, the bawse teams up with iTunes Radio and gives fans a free listen of his sixth solo album.

When hip-hop began, samples were all that DJs and producers had to construct instrumental tracks with. They'd dig through crates of vinyl trying to find isolated drum breaks, melodies or vocals that they could repurpose for use in hip-hop music.

Rick Ross' Mastermind has seen its share of pushbacks, with lead singles "Box Chevy" and "No Games" being scrapped after they failed to perform well on the charts. 

Rick Ross and Jeezy put their past beef aside to connect for a single off Rozay's upcoming Mastermind album, "War Ready." We recently heard how T.I. had a part to play in the squashing of the beef, as he spoke to Jeezy about unnecessary feuds. 

Mastermind won't come out until the beginning of March, but Rozay has been campaigning hard for his upcoming effort. And it's paying off, as the excitement derived from the anticipation for this album has reached notable levels.

It came as a surprise to many when Rick Ross announced that his new single "War Ready" would feature Young Jeezy, who Ross has had a high-profile beef with, escalating to an altercation between crews at the 2012 BET Awards. "War Ready" finally dropped yesterday, as did some news of how the reconciliation happened.

This feature highlights a hand-picked selection of some of the bigger tracks of the week. We have chosen a few of the tracks that landed within our top 10 most played, focusing on those that stood out, and left room for discussion.

In 2012 Rick Ross made waves with his album God Forgives, I Don't. Prior to that album most people knew him from his flamboyant appearances on other rappers' tracks.
