The title of the new album by Rick Ross and Meek Mill, Too Good to Be True, makes perfect logic, given that Ross currently views his life in that manner.
The largest boss and rap titan from Florida, who was reared in Florida, is not only continuing his decades-long reign with the new collaborative effort, but he is also relaxing during his well-deserved time off. He is 47 years old.
Ross, who calls his expansive 235-acre estate in Fayetteville, Georgia the “Promise Land,” has made headlines in recent years for his antics on the property, which have included everything from felling trees to caring for his bison.
However, it has imparted a valuable lesson to him and has additionally increased his connection to the natural world.
Ross replies, “F— yeah,” when asked whether he considers himself a farmer.
“You only wish that a great number of others could experience this.” At least attempt this once. At least attempt this once. “Relax and set everything aside,” he advises regarding life on the estate. “Put down your f***ing phone and simply take a seat to relax.” We should provide the livestock with carrots. Conversation with the animals. We shall fish for the next four hours. We should do that. “Let us proceed with that.”
Ross describes life away from the studio and his numerous business dealings on the estate, where he occasionally behaves like a “cowboy,” as “a different vibe.” “And maybe that’s how I recharge my battery and when I get around music, I’m ready to go, because I do a little bit of it all,” he asserts.
In addition to caring for his horses and cows, Ross’s most recent pastime is going on boat excursions. Likewise, the premise of the hobby is straightforward. He refers to it as “salt life.”
“Being in boats, being on the water, being in boats.” A variety of vessels are undergoing test excursions. Pilot excursions. “Certainly, distinct vibes,” he affirms.
Ross says with a grin when asked if he has a favorite vessel: “I believe my favorite vessel is the one I just purchased.”
Ross’s decision to seek solace on his farm and in the water is logical, given that his latest album is generating considerable attention. On the LP, he and Maybach Music Group signee and longtime collaborator Mill “gelled together, but the balance is there.””A beautiful moment in hip-hop,” according to Ross, Too Good to Be True features verses from Future, French Montana, and even Shaquille O’Neal expressly for a remix of their single “SHAQ & KOBE.”“The title ought to be self-explanatory.” It ought to have clarified the situation, and that is precisely what it did. The proposition appears to be too good to be true. “When Ricky Rozzay and Meek Mill collaborated, they created something extraordinary and dope for the streets,” he says. “And we took it where we wanted it to go.”Maybach Music Group has now made available the album Too Good to Be True.Pick up the most recent issue of PEOPLE, which will be available at newsstands everywhere on Friday, for additional information about Ross.
