Maybach Music Group leader Rick Ross‘ Black Market album should have no problem landing on the sales chart next week with 65,000 copies projected to sell.
Based on one-day estimates, Ricky Rozay’s new release will premiere in the Top 5 of music releases.
Ricky Rozay recently spoke on hip-hop artists using ghostwriters.
“Someone who may have another vision or just ideas that are priceless versus someone who’s like, ’I’m basing my entire career off the words I’m finna tell you right now over this 30-second period.” I’m not speaking to anybody in particular, but let’s say for instance if you was DMX and had a ghostwriter, it’d maybe change the [perception] versus if you was will.i.am. I think that’s more about the music, the records.” (TIME)
Last month, RR treated fans to his upcoming Black Market album track listing.
Ross recently said his MMG team could ultimately end up at the same label home he goes to following his upcoming final Def Jam album release, Black Market.
“It’s with Atlantic right now, but I have a lot of people interested in possibly bringing MMG over to new situations and I’m entertaining those conversations, most definitely,” Ross said. “It may be 50/50 [going to the label I go to], the conversation I’ve had with others. But for me, it’s about what’s gonna work best for the team, not just myself, but for the artists that’s signed to Maybach Music. Whatever that is, that’s the decision and that’s the way I’m gonna go.” (Billboard)
Prior to Mastermind, four of the five albums he released on Def Jam earned a gold certification from the RIAA. Dropped after a lengthy period of stalled singles and release date pushes, Mastermind entered the Billboard charts in March 2014 in the #1 slot with 179,000 units in sales and sales equivalents such as Spotify streams. Despite it being his fifth time atop the Billboard 200, the album failed to reached gold status. Then, distressingly, that November’s Hood Billionaire marked the lowest initial sales of a Ross album, shifting just 74,000 units in its first week. Furthermore, none of its singles made the Billboard Hot 100, inviting speculation of his commercial appeal in a nearly decade-long rap career.
Whether or not Black Market will help undo the damage of Hood Billionaire depends heavily on its sales performance this week.While many in the music press no longer see album sales as a viable metric for measuring success, the impact of legal streaming both as a revenue generator and as a growing factor in Billboard and RIAA calculuses poses both opportunities and challenges for a mature rap artist like Ross.
I giv it til tuesday, he comes out and says this album was for the streets and that he gon make x amount of dollars off it anyway. Then 50 cent goes online and clowns him for selling less than his employees

I am not sure 50 has the upper hand here. His album has been pushed back like 100 times and still hasn’t gotten released. I know Drake is still selling, but in 5 years, I doubt any rap album will even sold 100k first week.
50 doesnt hav tha upperhand on any rappers these days but he is gonna say sumthin regardless. If meek did 214k his first week ross should at least approach it. He said def jam did wut they were supposed to do from a marketing standpoint so…yea
u already kno bruh…………..Ross keeps switching when he talks…………….he a good talker….good bs’er liar too
Yup jus like the whole trick trick situation. His story made zero sense
People was sleeping on that G Eazy. Three sites didn’t even mention him even releasing anything.
more proof Ross’s frauds are catching up to him!
