Rick Ross is a hip-hop artist working in gangsta rap and luxury rap, born William Leonard Roberts II, who put Miami back on rap's map with his platinum 2006 single "Hustlin'," a breakthrough that sent his debut album, Port of Miami, straight to number one on the Billboard 200. He built a long catalog from there, from Port of Miami 2 in 2019 through Richer Than I Ever Been in 2021 to Too Good to Be True, his 2023 collaborative album with Meek Mill, with the solo album Set In Stone set for 2026. His records have moved across labels including Slip-N-Slide, Def Jam, Epic, and, most recently, Gamma.
Born on January 28, 1976, in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Ross was raised in Carol City, Florida, where he played football and worked as a correctional officer before turning to music full time. He recorded early on under the name Teflon Da Don before adopting the Rick Ross name, and has stayed a fixture at the top of the charts for two decades since.
Beyond his solo catalog, Ross has worked within groups including the Bugatti Boyz, Triple C's, and The Dream Team, and founded the label Maybach Music Group in 2009, launching or boosting the careers of Meek Mill, Wale, and French Montana. His work has drawn Grammy nominations, and he has performed at rooms such as the Beacon Theatre, the Chicago Theatre, and The Met Philadelphia. That track record makes him a strong fit for festival and fair lineups, college events, casino dates, and private engagements.
