Whilst many titles in Hip Hop continue to be disputed (King of N.Y., King of the South) the crown of "Boss" remains on the head of one Rick Ross. Since his arrival via the Port of Miami in 2006 Ross has reached the lofty heights akin to one of cinema’s notorious figures, Tony Montana. With ferocity in his musical output and surviving 50 Cent's onslaught, the Teflon Don LP no longer sits merely as another Rick Ross album but as an important release which echoes anticipation similar to classics of yesteryear.
In the long line of artists who have attempted to master the brand of 'mafioso rap' Rick Ross has been one of the few to do it with such conviction. Even after a beef with 50 Cent (which led to much dirty laundry being aired), the Boss/Baws has still stood tall in the rap kingdom, notably down to a 'never bow down' mentality as well as the emphatic Deeper Than Rap album. With Diddy now managing his affairs and his Teflon Don project still in preparation, Rick Ross offers a up quick fix for the Maybach lovers on the The Albert Anastasia EP.
