Here is this young artist putting out five albums a day who can just sit there and come out with these ideas from verses and rhymes, whatever it is. I do see a lot of young artists who write records or sacrifice records, because there are a lot of older artists who are preoccupied, they don’t have as much time as they used to to be in the studio. I wanted to make a record to let the fans and listeners see it from the inside. I had a lot of fun with it and I wanted to make that a record because it’s such a trending topic. It’s pretty much a given known fact in the industry that before I was successful, I wrote for other artists. That’s just me speaking of one of my more lucrative hustles. Rick Ross Remixes Adele, Drake & 50 Cent For ‘#RenzelRemizes’ Mixtape I discuss social racism and a lot of things in a way that walk by you if you’re not really paying attention. Am I doing the right thing? I mention my son’s mom, mention the district attorneys. I’m trying to give them a real experience and give them some of this emotion that I’m feeling, so many things running through my mind, me questioning what’s really going on. That’s the first thing that came to my mind. I was sitting in a pale room under light 23 hours a day and I just wanted to think most about the texture that I would love to see. That’s why the title was just so abstract and obnoxious. That was a record that I wrote while incarcerated on a small piece of paper with a small ink pen that was illegal at the time, but I had to have it. I figured do the record and have something real cool in the club for the ladies. Then, there was the more youthful side where we embraced it and took it as just being some of the best sex a woman has ever and will ever experience. On one level, “dope dick” was a term used by OGs or hustlers for using heroin and having sex. That’s a term we’ve been using in the streets for years and years on different levels. That’s most definitely one of those anthems. “Silk Road” is a great bridge into “Color Money,” which is strictly that fast dope boy Miami lifestyle. Nobody ever told me it would smell like that. I just thought about the past to the present, speaking on different hustles and money in the attic, the way it smells after being up there two years. ![]() When you hear the rain drops, it’s like you’re really outside. I wanted the production to feel really out in the open. That’s the black market trade, the hustle itself. Rick Ross Reveals Cover Art for New Album ‘Black Market,’ Wants to Record With Adele I think that’s real dope when the music comes about organically like that. We finished the record maybe a week or two after we had seen each other in Miami. Me and him took time out and had us a private discussion about a couple of different things, and the beautiful thing about that is this record was birthed from that conversation. It was a real private business event but it was an extravagant yacht among a few wealthy people, a few companies. When I think of CeeLo Green, I think about previous collaborations, like “Tears of Joy.” I said, ‘Wow, that was one of my most powerful records ever.” The cross between this energy from “Tears of Joy” to me discussing what means the most for me, this should be a brilliant record. You wakin’ up, greeting the morning with “Free Enterprise,” and by the time you put your feet down from the bed, what’s running through your mind is what means the most to you, what’s your most valuable asset, which is my family. I wanted my album to be a walk through my mind, and that’s what that was. Once again, being incarcerated, you have time to sit down and realize what means the most to you. I feel he may be my best collaborator when it comes to delivering that undeniable soulful sound, and he does it in such a classy way.” It most definitely (set the tone) and I recorded it the way it played out in my mind. My feet are on the ground and I just wanted to take you through my timeline. Everything is a go, so I made the title “Free Enterprise.” It costs you nothing to dream as big as you can. I wanted the album to feel like you’re walking into a room and just completely open your mind to all the possibilities. “That was one of the first records I actually wrote over the summer I was incarcerated.
