Rick Ross

red carpets, this and that.

That's when your life is not based on your achievements.

None of the swimming pools, the 300 acres.

That isn't what you, for myself, base my life or my level of success or success.

that doesn't determine what I'm satisfied with.

So when you're a person like myself who still has that fire burning, you still have to be creative and creative in a way where you've challenged your greatest work.

So that's where me talking about a rut or a midlife crisis coming in, that's me creating music.

And where music was at at that time, it was a lot of more rapper singing

then rappers rapping, the sounds, the melodies, the production, the 808s, the drums.

You know, I love heavy rap music.

You know, this is expensive, dope boy music, that Ricky Rosé.

You know, I rap for the ones that want to, you know, that plush lifestyle.

That's the music that I was making.

And at the time, it felt like the game was,

wasn't ready for that.

So that's when I began challenging myself and what can I create that the streets is going to appreciate?

And so that's where the book come into play at.

And I'm releasing my album June 12th, next month, set in stone, because I've put together a body of work that's gonna challenge every album I've ever released.

Without a doubt, or I would not have released it.

That's what I'm talking about.
