Rick Ross: See, that’s the double dollar sign. I only do that a few times a year because I’m only allowed through the illuminati for you to receive the blessings. So everybody that’s seeing this, close your eyes for seven seconds and touch the left side of your tongue.

Welcome. It’s the biggest boss in the game, Ricky Rozay, and you’re rocking with Billboard. This, what you’re watching, can only be found right here at Billboard. This is one of one. This is the big one. S–t. You already know what it is, man. We out here for a lot of different reasons. Ricky Rozay. We got the 20 anniversary of my debut album, Port of Miami. We’re kicking it off in Miami just for the crib. Just for the hustlers, you know what I’m saying?

Mic check, one, two. One, two. How long I been working on Set in Stone is … I would just round it off to a year because even when it’s not about the pen, it’s about collecting the production. If it’s lemon pepper, it’s lemon pepper. If it’s Rolls-Royce, it’s Rolls-Royce. If it’s a Buick, that’s cool too, but you know how we move, boss. My brother. Good to see you man!

Keep watching for more!
