Meek Mill and Rick Ross have been working together quite a bit recently. The duo announced last month that they had recorded an entire album together and now they’ve confirmed exactly when fans will be able to hear it. In a clip shared to Instagram by Meek he has a conversation with DJ Khaled and Diddy. “2 good to be true @djkhaled @diddy 🫡. I don’t know what’s about to happen but shit about to change! @richforever MMG X DC,” the caption reads. At the very end of the clip they confirm that Meek and Ross’ collab album will arrive on November 10.

They teased the project last month with the release of their joint single “Shaq & Kobe.” The song became an instant hit racking up over 4 million streams in just two weeks. The sleek and extravagant music video for the song has racked up 8 million views on YouTube alone. That success led to the song debuting on the Hot 100 in its very first week. It debuted at number 83 on the chart before being pushed out by the songs on Drake’s For All The Dogs on this week’s chart. Check out the full announcement video and fan reactions to it below.

Birdman & Rick Ross Have No Relationship, Former Confirms There’s No Drama Between Them

by

Hip-hop is a huge industry, and it’s only getting bigger. Even with the recent efforts to make peace within it, it’s impossible for everyone to be friends. Thankfully, some creatives are mature enough to know that this means they don’t have to beef, like Birdman and Rick Ross. The former was invited to speak on Clubhouse by Wack 100 this past weekend. He answered questions about his work with other artists, among other things. At one point, the Louisana native was asked if he and Rozay have anything in the works, to which he gave a commendable answer.

“I can definitely say that I seen that Rick Ross is one of the guys you helped build early on,” a No Jumper editor told Birdman during their Q&A. “You showed him the ropes. What’s your relationship now, and can we see y’all doing anything in the future?” The Cash Money Records founder replied, “Hmm, I don’t know. We don’t have a relationship right now. I don’t have no shade with Ross, he doing what he doing. I would never disrespect him.”

Bird added that he’s not the type to “talk down on no man.” Even if the Biggest Boss and him never reconnect, he wishes the best for his old collaborator and hopes to see him continue to thrive. “I know how hard it is for any ni**a to win in this business,” the “Money to Blow” artist declared. “I don’t give a f**k! It’s hard for us, it’s very hard for us. For us to be successful, we got to do what we got to do. It’s a challenge, it’s a fight. We got to be able to fight. I like to fight till I die, I’m built on that structure, but I will never speak ill on no man.”

Besides his relationship (or lack thereof) with Rick Ross, Birdman got to talking about plenty of interesting topics on Clubhouse. At one point, the 54-year-old said that Bad Bunny is a signee of Drake’s OVO label, raising some eyebrows among fans.

Rick Ross Works On His Jump Shot With Lethal Shooter, Fans Roast Him

by

Even though Rick Ross was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, he has been living in the sunshine for years now. Most people associate Rozay with Florida, especially with his major support for professional sports teams. One that he reps heavily is the Miami Heat. He and LeBron James formed a friendship over the years, especially during the Heat’s four consecutive trips to the NBA Finals. Ross has appeared countless times on sports talk shows to discuss the Heat’s chances to win the Finals again over the years as well.

His love for his team is great and he seems excited that the NBA season is about to get underway. It is just a few weeks away and Ross will be able to catch Miami on NBA TV on Tuesday, October 10. That is their first pre-season game and it is against the Charlotte Hornets. Presumably not all of the starters will be playing heavy minutes, so maybe Ross can get some run tomorrow night. He has been working on his jump shot recently with shooting coach extraordinaire, Lethal Shooter.

Rick Ross Reveals That He Has Spent Over $100 Million In The Last Six Months: Watch

by

We could talk about the baller mentality of Rick Ross for eternity. The highly successful rapper hailing from Mississippi, has been making baller moves for years. He essentially stepped into the rap game taking over in his own way with his hit from ’06, “Hustlin.’” It is safe to say that this song embodies what he is all about. From that point forward, he worked relentlessly to grow his musical catalog. Over time, he gained a lot of knowledge about how to increase his income. It all started to come together once he signed his seven-figure deal with Dej Jam and Jay-Z.

Just a short time ago, Ross joined a local Miami, Florida podcast. Daily Deposits Miami nabbed the big-time rapper to talk for quite a while. One of the conversations was about how he put aside his $1 million. It taught him how to be smart with his money. Once he saw how quickly he could make a lot, he continued to up the ante. “F*** a mil. You got that right off the rip, you got to readjust this s***. Now it’s five [million].” After all of the grinding and smart investments over the years, Ross is able to get involved with more projects.

In a recent interview with Ebro on Rap Life Radio, he, Ross, and Meek Mill discussed the new album. Additionally, they talk about Rozay’s spending in the clip above from DJ Akademiks. “I done had my hands in 25 different projects,” the rapper says. “Im a real frugal n**** at some points but when it’s time to make a power play I will.” The big, or not so big shocker in all this, was how much he had spent over the past six months. “I spent $100 million in the past six months.” He even breaks down what he dropped his cash on. “I just bought a crib for 35, a jet for 35, then the investments, I’m over $100 million in the last six months.”

Rick Ross And Meek Mill’s Newly-Announced Joint Album Might Be ‘Too Good To Be True,’ But It’s Coming ‘ASAP’

by

Rick Ross and Meek Mill are teaming up for a joint album, Too Good To Be True, and it’s coming “ASAP” they told Apple Music’s Ebro Darden. According to Pitchfork, Ross said, “This just was a quick vibe. Maybe two and a half months, you know what I’m saying?” They’ve already released the first single, “Shaq & Kobe,” which you can check out above.

Meanwhile, Rick Ross has brought his Maybach Music Group imprint to a new home, according to Billboard. MMG is now partnered with Gamma, which bills itself as an artist-friendly alternative to the major label system. Founded by former Apple Music Global Creative Director Larry Jackson and veteran music executive Ike Youssef, Gamma is backed by Apple and A24, among others, and offers a suite of resources for the creation, distribution, and marketing of music and related media.

Jackson said of the partnership, “Rick Ross epitomizes the multimedia and multi-faceted content pioneer that Gamma was created to amplify. We couldn’t be happier to formalize our relationship, welcome him to the Gamma family, and propel the trajectory of an already well-established empire. We’re beyond excited for the world to experience his surprise, highly anticipated collab reunion album with Meek.”

Calling the collab album “anticipated” might be a stretch; if anything, it comes as a surprise after relations between the mentor and protege seemed strained in recent years. After Meek complained about his record contract on Twitter, some fans thought he might have friction with Rick Ross, to whose Maybach Music Group he’s been signed almost since the beginning of his career. The duo reunited on stage late last year, but hadn’t even hinted at the possibility of a joint project until earlier this week.

Meek Mill And Rick Ross’ ‘Shaq & Kobe’ Video Is The Duo’s Dominating Display Of Their Own Musical Mamba Mentality

by

The rap reunion most fans thought would never happen has arrived. Rappers Meek Mill and Rick Ross joined forces on their new collaborative track, “Shaq & Kobe.” The Maybach Music Group members’ rumored falling-out is water under the bridge as the two floated across the track produced by ATL Jacob.

Instead of flooding the record with tons of name flips of the late Kobe Bryant, the dynamic duo embodiment his “Mamba mentality.” Neither waste a bar on a warm-up because there’s no time. Both jump straight into their performance to display their lyrical dominance. On the chorus, they paid homage to Bryant on the record’s chorus, both rapping, “Too much money and power / Walk up in the spot and punched the stuffings, keep tuckin’ the chopper / Too much money and power / Hustle in twenty-four hours.”

Ross takes a moment in his solo verse to address his lavish living arrangements (where the buffalos roam) that caused a stir with neighbors back in March. “Ya b*tch still at home with her mind blown / I got a pool of parrots and some buffaloes / And I got a pool in Paris in a bungalow / Still flippin’ numbers talking summer sauce / Everybody get to eat, that’s what a winner called / Sippin’ champagne, I own it myself / You n****s better learn to own you some wealth,” bragged Ross.

“We won already,” Ross said. “We playing with what? The house’s money and it’s only one way to explain that or describe that. It’s too good to be true, which is the name of the project me and Meek Mill will be releasing.”

Ross revealed the album took him and Meek two and a half months to complete. Meek added, “When me and Rozay got in the studio, it was all about real energy, organic motivation. This Rozay, I’m rapping next to too. This Rozay, top five dead or alive right now. I don’t know who want to argue with that.”

“I wasn’t healthy,” Meek said. I was drinking liquor every day. My stomach was bent over for a year and a half. I came home 2019, I couldn’t smoke weed or really drink liquor like that. And before 2019, I was off the lean and all that.

“I changed my lifestyle. Well I thought I changed, try to change over to the liquor every day. I’m being on tour afterparty. That kind of ruined up my stomach. So I had to sit down for a minute, let my shit build up. That was another human trial that we go through on the inside and they’re like, yo, when you dropping I’m telling my own family, yo, my stomach fucked up. Y’all, I weigh 170, bro. It’s on hit right now.”

Meek Mill And Rick Ross Will Reunite For Another Ambitious Single With ‘Shaq & Kobe’

Rappers Meek Mill and Rick Ross are considered one of the great dynamic duos. But now they’re going to honor another great pair, this one from the world of basketball. The two will reunite for another ambitious single, “Shaq & Kobe,” paying homage to the NBA Basketball Hall Of Fame inductees.

Meek uploaded the forthcoming track’s official cover art in a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) page. He went on to tell fans about the inspiration behind the song.

“Kobe [Bryant] and Shaq [O’Neal]. R.I.P. to the G.O.A.T., legend, and father! I learned my motivation and ambition from you. I ain’t have a dad. I was going off y’all. Thank you. Friday [September 29],” wrote Meek.

Meek’s admiration for Bryant was shaken in 2021 when the late athlete’s widow, Vanessa, called him out for what she considered to be insensitive lyrics.

On an unreleased track with fellow rapper Lil Baby, Meek says the line, “And if I ever lack I’m going out with my chopper, it be another Kobe,” referencing Bryant’s fatal helicopter crash. Meek has since apologized to the Bryant family, and one assumes this song will remain respectful.
