Rick Ross
Miami's self-styled Boss, who rapped 'Hustlin'' into a Maybach Music empire. Lush, cinematic beats and a baritone that makes every verse sound like a yacht deal.

About Rick Ross
Rick Ross is a hip-hop artist from Carol City, FL.
Rick Ross is the stage name of William Leonard Roberts II, who grew up in Carol City in north Miami-Dade. He took the name from the former drug trafficker "Freeway" Ricky Ross, who later sued him over it without success. His debut album, Port of Miami, came out on Def Jam in 2006, and the run that followed included Trilla, Deeper Than Rap and Teflon Don.
His records lean on orchestral, soul-heavy production and a slow, booming delivery, with lyrics built around luxury and drug-trade mythology. Through his label Maybach Music Group he signed and released records by Meek Mill and Wale, and he appears regularly as a guest on other rappers' singles.
