Rick Ross is wasting no time in getting his Maybach Music Group rolling. The Miami rap don announced that he’s releasing a compilation album called Self Made that will be in stores May 24.
The Bawse delivered the news about the new album via Twitter, including his latest signees — DC rapper Wale, Philadelphia’s Meek Mill and Atlanta MC Pill — in the tweet.
After a bidding war that included Bryan “Baby” Williams’ Cash Money Records and Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Bad Boy Records, the Def Jam artist decided to pass on aligning with another hip-hop mogul, choosing instead to partner with the Warner Music Group to distribute his Maybach Music Group imprint.
“We are thrilled to be in business with Rick Ross,” said Todd Moscowitz, co-president and CEO of Warner Bros. Records, in a statement last month. “We were drawn to his hustle. Ross is an entrepreneur who built his company from the ground up. He’s a music magnate, a lightning rod, and an empire builder. Our partnership with him is about building a brand that endures. We back his vision all the way and are ready to give him the resources he needs to pursue that vision.”
Of the aforementioned artists, Wale was the first to sign with the Bawse’s label, followed by Meek Mill and Pill, who was already a Warner artist.
Other acts on MMG include Gunplay, Torch and Young Breed of rap group Triple Cs as well as R&B singer Masspike Miles. Last July, Rick Ross released his fourth solo album, Teflon Don, which featured the hits “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)” and “Aston Martin Music” as well as the street anthem “MC Hammer.”
Beginning March 18, Ross will be heading out on the road with Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Travis Barker for the I Am Music II Tour.

Rick Ross took over New York City’s Best Buy Theater last night, bringing along a gang of famous friends. During the star-studded show, the Miami kingpin rapped alongside Maybach Music Group signees Wale and Meek Mill, also enlisting assistance from collaborators John Legend, Akon, Busta Rhymes, and Pusha T. Check out pics of the Teflon Don taking a bite out of the Big Apple.
When news broke of Cudder and Wale reconciling, the only thought that came to mind was the two would be collaborating soon. Well Rozay the MMG general said you can bet your bottom dollar thats the case. Ross tweeted last night “expect wale x cudi joint!!!!!!!!!” Should be interesting what may come out of all this.
With NBA All-Star Weekend in full effect, hip hop’s favorite drummer, Travis Barker, was busy shooting a new video.
MTV News was in Hollywood, CA on set with the Blink-182 drummer, frequent hip-hop remixer and collaborator, Travis Barker’s video for “Can The Drummer Get Some.” The song features the Game, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Swizz Beatz and is the lead single for Give the Drummer Some, due in stores March 15, 2011.
In the clip, besides a surly dude with a megaphone asking people to move back to their posts, can be seen the Game, Swizz Beatz and Rick Ross while Barker can be heard off to the side, drumming. Although Barker has said that there will be no one genre on Give the Drummer Some, it is loaded with a who’s who of hip-hop guests. “I just love music,” Barker told Spinner.com last year. “The more I can be around it the better, so with my album it’s no one genre. It goes from everything from punk rock to hip-hop to some electro stuff on there to a metal song…” Only some of the rap acts appearing Barker’s first solo album include Drake, Kid Cudi, Eminem, Clipse, RZA and Beanie Sigel. “Everyone on the album is someone I was blessed to come in contact at one point or another in my life,” Barker told MTV News of the album that is at least two years in the making.
Another song from the project that leaked via behind the scenes footage from its video shoot is “Come N Get Some,” which features the Clipse. Earlier this week, Barker revealed to MTV News that a new Blink 182 album would be finished by early summer and hinted at plans to tour with Kid Cudi. There are also plans to release a Let the Drummer Get Wicked Mixtape via DJ Whoo Kid’s Radioplanet.TV website on February 21.
