Eight months after releasing Mas­termind, Rick Ross dropped his seventh studio album Hood Billionaire on Novem­ber 24. The 16 tracks include appearances from Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, K. Michelle, Big K.R.I.T., and R. Kelly, with production from Timbaland, DJ Toomp, and more. In an inter­view with Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club, he states his reason for dropping two albums within a year. “It was just something that I wanted to do when I recorded the music. If you go back and lis­ten to my interviews speaking on Master­mind, I was saying I felt like I made two albums because it was two different feel­ings. Mastermind was the type of album that I wanted to open up. I wanted it to have a rich feel to it…That throw­back Puff feel mid-way through it. And this right here. Just cer­tain energies. And this right here this is my Geechi Liberace…So, it’s just that feel good record. A lot of 808s, real bass heavy. And it’s gon’ feel different to you. So, it’s gonna feel like a full year from the boss.”
