Rick Ross is Playing ‘No Games,’ Featuring Future

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (0)


Rapper Rick Ross has a new song, “No Games,” featuring Future, who takes care of the duty on hook. Released by Funkmaster Flex Thursday night, Ross is putting out the new solo track around the same time his Maybach Music label will release its compilation “Self Made Vol. 3.”

 According to complex.com:

“Rick Ross never stopped releasing music. From ( movie director Quentin)Tarantino soundtracks to (slain Florida teen) Trayvon Martin commentary, he makes it a point to stay relevant. His last album came out just over a year ago, mind you. Yet, on top of the upcoming Self Made: Vol. 3 release, he is using the Ross-patented overlap technique by rolling out solo music now. This is his first single from his next (which will be his sixth) album, Mastermind.”

In addition to his marketing technique, Ross’  No Games has the sound expected from the Dade County rapper. With its hard hitting 808s, and Ross’ “boss” persona, No Games is sure to be another hit.

As reported by directlyrics.com:

“‘Can’t play no games with these n***s/ Can’t play no games with these b***s’ spits Future on the hook. Produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, ‘No Games’ brings back that same high energy and aggressive sound we’ve heard from Rozay on his previous hit singles.”

Ross’ new album Mastermind doesn’t have a release date, but can be expected out either later this year or early 2014. In the meantime, enjoy No Games above.  Self Made Vol 3. will be out on Sept. 24.

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.
