Port of Miami (LP)
VINYL FORMAT. You can't go into a club, get into a car or walk down the block without hearing the clarion call keyboards of Ross's earthquake of a debut single, "Hustlin'." It's the early front-runner for street anthem of the year. From the good people who brought you the Roc-A-Fella dynasty, the Snowstorm and the College Dropout, we'd like to introduce you to the overnight sensation twelve years in the making: Rick Ross.
On Ross's debut full-length, Port of Miami, you are immediately immersed in a fully fleshed out world. As a member of the Slip-N-Slide (trick Daddy, Trina) crew, Rick Ross is part of a bubbling Miami scene. Rick Ross's Miami is one where drug deals and dropped bodies happen in the shadows of Art Deco hotels and plush nightclubs. It's the luxury and the tragedy. It's the American Dream and an American Nightmare.
