Defbeat Middle East Presents: RICK ROSS Live in Concert

Haitian rapper Rick Ross was born William Roberts and grew up in thick influence of rap culture where artists like Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur swept the nation with their hits. Slip-n-Slide Records took notice of his talent and signed him immediately. With the new recording house, Roberts who was by then known as Rick Ross, became acquainted to Hip-Hop heavyweights like Trick Daddy and Trina. It was not until 2006 that he became a solo artist, penning the song "Hustlin'" that amazingly created a bidding war between record executives. Starting from P. Diddy's Bad Boy Records to Irv Gotti's The Inc., they all wanted the right to the talented rapper. However, it was Jay-Z who eventually nabbed the deal with him, taking Slip-n-Slide under a contract with his Def Jam label. When it was released in March 2006, "Hustlin'" became an instant hit, peaking at #11 on U.S. With such strong single, Ross released his debut album "Port of Miami" in August that year and has released five studio albums since. 2013 sees him release a new album ‘Mastermind’. Plus he has just announced a new track with Jay Z – ‘F**kwithmeyouknowigotit’ which he has been performing on many of Jay Z’s tour dates. See him LIVE for the first time in the Middle East on Friday 4th October. But be QUICK as the event will be sure to be a sell out! Tickets: 200 AED early bird, 200 AED regular.
