"If [50] sold 10 [million], my next album should sell 12," Rick Ross says when comparing his upcoming album "Deeper Than Rap" with 50 Cent's 1993 debut album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'", which sold almost 10 million copies worldwide. On what makes him quite sure that his album will be a blast, Rick Ross states, "My freestyles as you could hear them, 'Kiss My Pinky Ring', I do them in 20 minutes and put them out there. Those crumble empires."
Claiming that his diss over Fiddy is just "for sport", Rick Ross further explains, "People listening to how potent the music is. That's all this really is for me." He also adds, "I'm not really excited yet. All this is a platform for me to show people how talented I am. How much better of a lyricist I am."
Rick Ross will drop "Deeper Than Rap" in the U.S. market on March 24. He will collaborate with John Legend in single "Magnificent", team up with Avery Storm in song "On Top of the World", and make a duet with Lil Wayne, Kanye West as well as Nas in track "Maybach Music Pt.2".
On the particular date Rick Ross debuts his new effort, 50 Cent will also come out with a new album titled "Before I Self Destruct". He has signed up Eminem, Dr. Dre, Swizz Beatz, Nate Dogg, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo as his collaborators for the record.
