Rick Ross

I've been fortunate enough to experience financial success on a large scale through both my music career and my many business ventures. With this type of financial success comes financial responsibility.

I'm making my money make money.

There's always money to get.

As artists, we are blessed to be able to make money but, on the same note, are held accountable for our federal tax obligations just like everyone else.

Money doesn't make me - I make the money.

Capital Cities - the rock group - I'm a huge fan of theirs.

I feel like I can make records where, you know, I can get in the alley and exchange bars with Styles P, but I can also get in the studio and create a classic with Rihanna.

When I used to sit in the office with Jay Z and L.A. Reid... we would negotiate back and forth and discuss music. You're sitting in front of someone for hours. It's all about being passionate. Everything begins with yourself.

With me being an artist that took over a decade to get on, there's so many different things that I have in common with artists that's struggling to get on.

Rather You Than Me' just speaks for my natural instinct to survive, but it's also me being a writer, me being a poet - there's also a beautiful side to 'Rather You Than Me.'

My mom's a hustler. She a grinder.

My mom's the best.
