Rick Ross’s Unconventional Journey: From Rapper to Farmer, Nurturing Cows and Engaging with Horses
Rick Ross and Meek Mill’s latest album, “Too Good to Be True,” aptly captures the essence of Ross’s current outlook on life. At 47, the renowned rap figure, also known as the biggest boss, not only maintains his long-standing musical dominance with this collaborative project but also finds solace in the serene moments when he takes a break.
On his expansive 235-acre estate in Fayetteville, Georgia, lovingly dubbed the “Promise Land,” Ross engages in various activities, from tending to animals to embarking on adventures like tree chopping and bison care. He views these experiences as valuable lessons, reconnecting him with nature and prompting him to consider himself a farmer.
Ross encourages others to embrace a similar lifestyle, advocating for moments of relaxation away from the constant hustle. For him, it’s about setting aside the phone, feeding carrots to cows, conversing with horses, and indulging in hours of fishing – a refreshing departure from the fast-paced studio and business life.
Life on the estate brings a “different vibe” to Ross, where he embraces his cowboy side and recharges his creative battery for his musical endeavors. Beyond caring for animals, his recent hobby involves exploring boat rides, a pursuit he dubs “salt life.” Ross finds joy in being on the water, testing different boats, and reveling in the diverse experiences each vessel offers.
As Ross seeks tranquility on his farm and the open water, his new album, “Too Good to Be True,” continues to make waves in the music scene. Collaborating with long-time associate Meek Mill, the album boasts a harmonious blend that Ross describes as “gelled together but the balance is there.”
Featuring verses from Future, French Montana, and even Shaquille O’Neal for a remix of “SHAQ & KOBE,” the album marks a significant moment in hip-hop.
According to Ross, the title speaks for itself, encapsulating the magic and authenticity created by the collaboration. “Too Good To Be True” reflects the seamless union of Ricky Rozzay and Meek Mill, delivering compelling and impactful music for the streets.
Ross’s dual pursuits – finding serenity on his estate and creating musical magic – highlight the multifaceted nature of his life and underscore his enduring influence in the world of hip-hop.
