In the early hours of Christmas Eve, Rick Ross dropped off his latest mixtape, Ashes To Ashes. The follow-up to the monstrous Albert Anastasia mixtape.

William Leonard Roberts II (born January 28, 1976), known by his stage name Rick Ross (often stylized as RICK RO$$) and also known as Rozay, is an American rapper. Ross founded the record label Maybach Music Group, on which he released his studio albums Deeper Than Rap(2009) Teflon Don (2010) and God Forgives, I Don’t (2012). Ross was also the first artist signed to Diddy‘s management company Ciroc Entertainment. In early 2012, MTV named Ross as the Hottest MC In The Game.

Rick Ross was born in Coahoma County, Mississippi, and raised in Carol City, Florida, near Miami. After graduating from Miami Carol City Senior High School, he later attended the historically black college Albany State University on a football scholarship. He derived his stage name from the drug trafficker ”Freeway” Rick Ross, to whom he has no connection. After being signed to Suave House Records, former label for rap duo 8Ball & MJG, he eventually signed a deal with Slip-n-Slide Records, which has been under the Def Jam umbrella since 2006. While signed to Slip-n-Slide, Ross toured with fellow rapper Trick Daddy and made guest performances on other Slip-n-Slide albums.

Ashes To Ashes is the second mixtape by rapper Rick Ross, it was released on December 24, 2010. The mixtape features guest appearances from T.I., Ludacris, Wiz Khalifa, Wale, Meek Mill, Chester French, Aaliyah, Ne-Yo and Birdman.

Jonah Weiner of Rolling Stone said “I’m smokin’ dope! I’m on my cellphone!” he roars on “9 Piece“. That shouldn’t sound impressive, but with Ross pitching it, it does.” Tom Breihan at Pitchfork Media said “Ashes to Ashes has famous guests (T.I., Ludacris) and big producers (Boi-1da, Lex Luger), and its sonic depth and serious mastering job are enough to push it way beyond most mixtapes. But the mixtape’s best moments come directly from Ross himself.” Hip Hop Beats For Sale
