“Most Definitely,” Rick Ross intends to purchase the new Maybach.
Rick Ross is on the verge of releasing “Hood Billionaire,” his seventh studio album and the second in just eight months.
Coincidentally, Mercedes-Benz recently announced the revival of the Maybach, the ultra-luxe sedan line that served as the inspiration for Ross’s label, Maybach Music Group.
VF Hollywood reached out to Ross for his expert opinion on the upcoming Mercedes-Maybach S600 and to discuss putting out two full-length albums in a single year, along with his vision for “Hood Billionaire,” set to hit stores and digital retailers on Monday.
VF Hollywood: How are you feeling about the upcoming album release?
Rick Ross: It feels good, man. Two albums in one year—that’s Ricky Rozay.
The album sounds like a pretty good time. Was there a guiding vision that you tried to adhere to while recording?
There most definitely was a vision for this record. I released the album “Mastermind” earlier this year, in March. You know, I wanted that to be more soulful and wordy. This one, I wanted to be more club-oriented, with bigger bass. That type of music that will take over the club, so the ladies could do their thing, and the bosses could party loud too.
Why did you want to release two full-length studio albums in one year?
Everything just fell into place. With “Mastermind,” we couldn’t release it at the end of 2013; it went over to the top of 2014 due to clearance issues. I felt good about it, and the fans appreciated it, but I had a whole year left. So, let’s turn up. Let’s do what a boss would do. I just had a lot of time left in the year.
