Rick Ross is currently riding the wave of his new album Port of Miami 2. With Amazon Music’s new playlist, Rap Rotation, serving as the new home for go-to rap tracks, the biggest boss sat down with the streaming service and spoke on Nipsey Hussle, health scares and more.
“Me, first meeting Nipsey many, many moons ago, I knew just looking in his eyes he understood his direction,” Ross said. “He was one of the first artists that I stood next to and had a conversation and he didn’t look down on his situation of being independent. He already had a plan, an idea. He’s on a record titled ‘Rich Lifestyle’ and basically what we talking about is true wealth, longevity, putting yourself in a position where you’re not just carrying yourself, not just your household, but your entire team – everybody who’s a part of your dream.”
Ross also brought personal matters into this album, speaking on a health issue he had and why was it important to bring forth now.
“My approach to writing these records: how deep are you gonna really go? That’s something that I really ask myself. And me having a health scare between my last album and this album, I said ‘I wanna address this.’ You know, so many things have been said. So many things have been heard. I wanna put it on the table. So most definitely we did some things differently.”
