Grammy®-nominated hip-hop magnate Rick Ross releases his
second full-length album record in less than one year, HOOD BILLIONAIRE. The new album’s first advance track, “Elvis
Presley Blvd” - featuring Memphis native
Project Pat and produced by Atlanta’s legendary DJ Toomp – has ignited the
streets with a video making the rounds online. HOOD BILLIONAIRE is the
follow-up to Ricky Rozay’s Mastermind, which was released March 2014 and became
his fifth career album to debut at #1 Soundscan. The first official single from HOOD
BILLIONAIRE is "Keep Doing That (Rich Chick)” feat. R Kelly. Mastermind’s
stunning #1 chart debut seven months ago was underscored by back-to-back New
York City appearances on NBC’s [then new] The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,
and Late Night with Seth Meyers; as well as a performance on The Arsenio Hall
Show in Los Angeles. Ross made Tonight
Show history in New York (where he performed “The Devil Is A Lie”) – the first
rap artist to perform on the show from its new studios at 30 Rock. The
Mastermind rollout climaxed with a sold-out concert at the Best Buy Theater in
New York hosted by Hot 97 radio.
Reviewing the show, the New York Times hailed Ross as “one of hip-hop’s
kingpins… one of hip-hop’s most important and theatrical figures”; and praised
Mastermind for its “striking, subtle musical moments throughout.” Mastermind
succeeded Ross’ 2012 release, God Forgives, I Don’t, his fourth album to debut
at #1 Soundscan, which included top hits “Touch'N You” featuring Usher, “So
Sophisticated” featuring Meek Mill, and fan favorite “Diced Pineapples”
featuring Drake and Wale. Ross’
previous best-selling albums include Port Of Miami (2006), Trilla (2008), and
Deeper Than Rap (2009), all of which debuted at #1 Soundscan; and Teflon Don
(2010).
