Ross speaks on the latest installment of the “Maybach Music” song series and why he chose Badu, T.I. and Jadakiss to be on the infamous track. I personally like the second one the best, but this one is cool.

The inevitable trailer for Ross’ music video arrives. Looks like one of those throwaway videos he does after his initial high budget vid (for “Super High”). Hoping there’s a bit more to it than sitting in back of the new Rolls.

Also, check out some live footage of Ross in a recent club performance. Thanks to The 305.

Respectable numbers from Ross, considering he didn’t really have a smash crossover hit. Also, congrats to Eminem and Drake for still KILLING the charts! FYI these numbers aren’t 100% official, as Hits Daily Double numbers can sway a bit – but they’re generally pretty good indicators of what the official soundscan report will read.

Check out Rick Ross’ entrance to his party last night above.  Anyways, Hits Daily Double, who is usually pretty accurate, already estimates sales projections for Ross to be 170-180k. They make these predictions by taking the first day numbers and statistically breaking it down for how sales usually tail off after the initial release. Here’s what they had to say:

The hip-hop superstar’s four straight weeks at #1 with his Shady/Aftermath/ Interscope album Recovery is being threatened this week by Def Jam/IDJ Miami rapper Rick Ross, whose Teflon Don is on target to do between 170-180k in sales.

I really have no idea where Pembroke Pines is in Florida, but Rick Ross will be in the house at Best Buy for 3 HOURS (props for such a long meet and greet) to sign your album, take pictures and eat your children. He’ll be there from 5-8pm. For the big boys and girls, he’ll be celebrating his album release at King of Diamonds in Miami.

This is probably my favorite track off of Teflon Don, in terms of just overall feel and aura. Not the best content-wise, but just because something is lyrically inferior doesn’t mean it can’t be a good track overall. With that said, I understand the track would have been like 7 minutes long with the Drake verse at the end, but I think it just complemented the music more than anything.

Says FSD:

“As I’m sure most of you know, Rick Ross caused quite a stir while he was in Chicago last week during his promo run for his new album, Teflon Don, which drops tomorrow (July 20th) on Def Jam Recordings.   The main reason being his recent hit song – “B.M.F.” – which features a very powerful Chicago name in the chorus…that name being Larry Hoover.

A lot of Chicagoans were confused by said line, and we at FSD felt obligated to ask Ross about his “I think I’m Larry Hoover” claim during the interview held at Dave Jeff’s PHLI store in Hyde Park.  Ross handled himself pretty well and kept his cool, but you can tell he’s a bit agitated with a few of our questions.  So much in fact that after only three/four questions, he dropped the obligatory “my album is in stores July 20th” and walked off the set in a huff.  Treated, indeed.

Ross left PHLI just moments later, and rumors immediately began to swirl claiming that there was plenty tension in the air.  These rumors were shot down just hours later when Rick Ross tweeted a picture of himself, E from Infared Music and Larry Hoover Jr.  at his release party at Vibe.  Is this the end or only the beginning?  We don’t know, but you should definitely tune in to see his interview with Ms. Laura Mitchell.

Waiting for Officer Ross to throw some moissanite‘s on there and say it’s worth like, put it around his neck and then say it’s worth 2 million dollars or something.

Looks like Rick Ross got a little co-sign from the gangster Larry Hoover‘s son, Larry Hoover Jr. If you’ve heard “BMF,” you’d already know why this is a relevant pic.

Another solid track from Officer Ross and Cee-Lo. Shots fired at DJ Vlad. No ID on the lovely production side. You digging what has leaked from Ross’ Teflon Don? I am. Thanks to Rap Radar.

Also, there’s apparently a release party/listening party tonight in Chicago. Check out the flyer below:

I actually thought that this was the original first single off of Teflon Don, but I think since it leaked prematurely, they switched it up for the Ne-Yo collabo. I could be wrong, but it makes sense if that was the original plan. In a, relatively, simple music vid, Ross and Legend join forces again to bring you visuals for “Sweet Life.”

Here’s the full music video for Rick Ross’ street banger, that has literally been all over the place. At least, in NYC.

I’m actually interested in why this didn’t make the final cut of Rick Ross’ Aston Martin Music track, but OVO just released the verse, regardless.

Drake – Aston Martin Music (verse)

I also blended the two files together and made like a 7 minute extended version, combining the original version with the Drake verses that were cut from the final product. Check that out below:

Radio rip dropped last night, and like I said, the CDQ should drop shortly thereafter. Welp, here ya go. Produced by The Inkredibles.

Rick Ross ft. Jay-Z, John Legend – Free Mason (CDQ)

Rick Ross leaves the Maybach in the garage and pulls out the Aston for this new track with Drake and the talented Chrisette Michelle. Drake lends his voice for a mellow hook while Michelle adds some lovely vocals. Produced by the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. Liking this a lot.

****UPDATED WITH CDQ/NO TAGS VERSION

And just like that, Maybach Music Group debuts this next Rick Ross single featuring Kanye West. Expect a music video for this, probably at around the album drops. Clean version just hit the net, but this is actually the official dirty version. You already know:
