Maybach Music On The Way: Rick Ross Confirms ‘Mastermind’ Date

rick-ross-mastermind

Rick Ross is undoubtedly one of the hottest rappers in music over the last few years, so it’s no surprise that fans have been eagerly waiting his delayed sixth solo LP: Mastermind. However fans may not have to wait much longer as Ross released a video teaser, produced by Hype Williams, for the new album confirming on Diddy’s Revolt TV that  March 4 is the new date.

As reported by mtv.com:

“Rick Ross’ sixth solo LP, Mastermind, finally has a release date: March 4. The Maybach Music CEO made the announcement via a teaser video on Revolt TV on Tuesday.

“In the ominous Hype Williams-directed visual, the standard MMG tagline, ‘The Untouchable Maybach Empire Presents,’ appears amid pluming clouds and copious stacks of newly minted $100 bills with an operatic chorus playing in the background.”

Rozay’s Mastermind album was originally supposed to be released on Dec. 17, but he delayed the album because he needed to perfect it before putting it out. Ross has also called in some big name favors to help out with album. His second single, “Devil Is A Lie” features another classic Jay Z collaboration. And Diddy has also been hired to mix the album as well.

As also reported by mtv.com:

“It’s only fitting that Diddy’s new network was used to make the announcement since the Bad Boy mogul is currently mixing his good friend’s new project. The news comes just in time for Ross, who has heard rumblings of late because the album had been pushed back from its original Dec. 17 release and was still ‘up in the air.’

“In addition to the blazing hot Jay-Z-assisted single ‘The Devil is a Lie,’ fans are eagerly anticipating Ross’ potential collaboration with Bobby Womack. Rozay revealed the secrets of his ‘biggest impacting record’ to MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway last year.”

Check out the new Rick Ross Mastermind trailer below, and stay tuned until March 4 for more updates.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
