Full Biography

Tattooed with pictures of AK-47s, Miami's six-foot, 300-pound rap figure known as Rick Ross embraced his city's reputation for drug trafficking on his debut single, "Hustlin'," in 2006. While Atlanta and Houston artists were establishing their cities as Southern strongholds, Ross aimed at putting Miami back in rap's national spotlight. Ross, real name William Roberts, grew up in Carol City, FL, an impoverished northern suburb of Miami. Influenced by artists like Luther Campbell and the Notorious B.I.G., Roberts formed local rap group the Carol City Cartel and began rapping in the mid-'90s. (He took his rap name from Los Angeles drug kingpin "Freeway" Rick Ross, who ran one of the largest crack-cocaine distribution networks in the country during the '80s and early '90s.) Ross had a brief stint on Suave House Records, former label of Eightball & MJG, before he ended up on Miami-based Slip-N-Side Records, the label home of Trick Daddy and Trina. During the early to mid-2000s, he became popular and well known locally through touring with Trick Daddy and guest-appearing on a few Slip-N-Slide releases, but didn't release any solo material until 2006. Once "Hustlin'" caught the ear of a few executives within the national industry, a bidding war ensued that included offers from Bad Boy CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs and The Inc. (formerly Murder Inc.) president Irv Gotti. Nonetheless, Def Jam president and veteran rapper Jay-Z signed Ross to a multi-million-dollar deal. The Miami anthem "Hustlin'" went on to receive gold status from RIAA in May 2006 and sold over a million ringtone units before the physical release of his debut album, Port of Miami. Released in August 2006, Ross' debut was Slip-N-Side's first project under the Def Jam partnership, and it went to number one on the Billboard album chart. His follow-up, Trilla, was released the following year, prefaced with the Cool & Dre-produced title track. Early 2009 saw the release of Deeper Than Rap, an album greeted with numerous positive reviews in the hip-hop press. In early 2010 he announced an album titled Teflon Don would be appearing that same year.

Action Bronson Signs To Warner Bros/Vice

Action Bronson
.
Buzzed about rapper Action Bronson has finally inked a label deal. Bronson, who came out of SXSW in March with a lot of momentum, has officially signed with Vice Records, an imprint of major label Warner Bros.
.

Bronson revealed the news today via Twitter. The rapper wrote, “Vice/Warner Bros.is the label. I promise to never make candy cane bullshit music as long as I live!!!!!!!” As for an actual release? He added, “17 songs done for BLUE CHIPS 2. Now for the features… BAM BAM X ALCHEMIST COMING VERY VERY SOOOOOON.” So that’s helpful if you can decipher any of it, which we can’t.
.
We’re a big fan of Bronson over here, especially after he appeared in our recent OneTwoWatch clip. Missed it? You can watch below, although we’d suggest not doing so in the same room as your boss or parents.
.

.
Congrats to Bronson on his signing. We hope to hear some new non-candy cane bullshit music from him soon. For more from the rapper head to his Myspace Radio channel here.

Fans have waited over two years for Passion Pit to release their sophomore record (Gossamer). What was the hold up? Being young. Michael Agelakos spoke up saying, “It wasn’t so much the record being a problem. You know in your mid-twenties, everything is a problem.” [Live105]

50 Cent Disses Kanye West’s Relationship With Kim Kardashian

By Emily Zemler • 22 hours ago

.
We may feel that no couple has ever been better suited for each other than Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, but apparently 50 Cent doesn’t think highly of the pair. In a recent interview, 50 Cent seemingly dissed West’s love for the reality TV star.
.

West recently revealed that his new tune “Perfect Bitch” is about Kardashian. When asked about the song, 50 Cent said, “I mean… if that man feel like she’s perfect, then she’s perfect. He could mean it and you’ll end up singing the words to it because he’s Kanye.” The rapper added, “You know how it is? One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” So, basically Kardashian is trash to everyone but West. Sounds about right.
.
50 Cent also noted that he’s not sure if there is such a thing as a “perfect bitch.” He said, “I’m not sure. The smartest guys I know have lost being a bad judge of character in that area.” Snap.
.
West doesn’t appear to have responded to these comments yet, but we’re sure he has something borderline insane to say to 50 Cent and will likely offer up a succession of bizarre tweets in response. Kardashian may be a questionable choice for most relationship (read: all relationships) but it looks like she and West may be soul mates. By that we mean, the two largest egos in the world have found each other. Ah, true love, it looks so pretty reflected in limited edition Louis Vuitton sunglasses.

Beyonce (pictured above in a tweet by Rihanna)has posted a picture of her adorable little girl, Blu Ivy, on her Tumblr page. This is very significant, especially given that the little tike hasn’t been in the public eye thanks to the diligence of her parents. We’re happy she decided to share the picture with the rest of the world!

You’ll notice right off the bat that she’s sporting an outfit featuring the tour dates for Jay-Z’s Watch The Throne tour. Nice to see she’s already involved in the family biz. We also see Beyonce is giving Blue Ivy a bottle. It’s so different seeing her in mommy mode rather than performing on stage. Cheers to the family and thanks to Beyonce for sharing this pic with us!
