Maybach Music Group‘s Rick Ross is raising the stakes for his upcoming Rather You Than Me album. The hip-hop heavyweight has revealed he has a direct message to a former idol.
According to Yung Renzel, his upcoming LP will have a track directed at a certain someone he no longer respects.
“I’ve got a record titled “Idols Become Rivals” and it’s basically me writing a letter to someone in the game that I looked up to damn near the most and I hate what things have come to. So I have so many different records, approaches. Me and Nas, the way we rapped on “Powers That Be” — we not in control, is it the higher-ups? Or are we the higher-ups? Are we the powers that be? I’m just really ready for these records to get into the streets so that people can hear the excitement in my voice and the music, the way me and Future, the collaborations… I did a record titled “Dead Presidents,” I’m so excited for that to hit the streets.” (Billboard)
Recently, Ross revealed plans to release his Rather You Than Me album next month.
