Rick Ross surprised a lot of people when he announced his second album of the year, Hood Billionaire, a couple months back. But any doubt as to whether the release, his seventh LP, would actually appear on its November 24 release date have been alleviated, as it is now streaming in full on iTunes.
The 16-song collection features a host of special guest collaborators and producers, including Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, R Kelly, Big K.R.I.T., and Timbaland. Three singles have already been shared from the collection, including “Elvis Presley Blvd.,” which the video premiere doubled as the album announcement.
Ross’ previous album, Mastermind, was released in March, landing at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 179,000 copies in its first week. This was Rosay’s fifth number one album, leading expectations to be high for Hood Billionaire, to say the least.
