Black Market

Rick Ross

A sophisticated, soul-drenched pivot toward introspection. Ross trades his usual bombast for velvet-lined production and late-night self-reflection.

December 4, 2015 · Def Jam Recordings

Find on Amazon

A sophisticated and somber reflection on power, legacy, and the isolation of success.

Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting piano loop and John Legend's soaring hook on Free Enterprise setting a somber tone for the record.
The raw emotional weight of Smile Mama, Smile where the usual bravado drops for a direct address to his mother.
The lush, string-heavy transition into the second half of Silk Road that feels like a classic film score.

Contemplative saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
