Rick Ross Talks 'Port of Miami,' His Business Hustle & New Album 'Set In Stone'

You know, I've been following Rick Ross's journey for a minute now, and to see him celebrate 20 years of his debut album Port of Miami is huge, this one na levels. Born and raised in Carol City, Miami, Ross always knew he wanted to make a name for himself, but more importantly, he wanted to provide for his family. And boy, has he done that. Since the release of Port of Miami, Ross has built an empire that goes beyond music. He's a mogul, a entrepreneur, and a boss man who's not afraid to speak his mind.

When Billboard flew down to Miami to hang with Ross, they got a glimpse into the life of a man who's been through it all. From rehearsals to exclusive events, they documented Ross's every move as he prepared to kick off his POM20 Tour. One thing that stood out was Ross's reflection on the legacy of Port of Miami. He talked about how the album, which he referred to as his "Platinum debut," changed the game for him. He said, "I always dreamed of being able to have enough money to call the glitz and glamour of South Beach my home while also providing for my family." And that's exactly what he's done.

Ross's success didn't happen overnight, of course. He's talked about the grind, the long hours, and the sacrifices he made to get to where he is today. And it's clear that his hustle is still very much alive. He's got his hands in various business ventures, from his South Beach Brewing Company to his music. And with his new album Set In Stone on the horizon, Ross is showing no signs of slowing down. He's got a reputation for pushing the boundaries and taking risks, and it's hard to imagine him doing anything less.

So, what's next for Ross? With Set In Stone dropping later this summer, fans are eagerly anticipating the new music. Ross has said that he's been working on the album for a minute, and he's promised that it's going to be big. He's also hinted at some surprises, but that's all we know for now.As I write this, I'm reminded of Ross's legacy and the impact he's had on hip-hop. He's a true boss man, and his dedication to his craft is inspiring. With Set In Stone on the way, I'm excited to see what the future holds for Ross. He's been doing this for 20 years now, and he's still got the fire in his belly. Bring on the new music, and let's see what Ross has in store for us. With his new album, live shows, and business ventures, Ross is cementing his status as one of hip-hop's greatest empires.
