New Video: Family Ties (Rick Ross)

One of my favorite songs off Rick Ross's Hood Billionaire album, Family Tires just got a video, and a dope one at that. This is one of the deepest songs on the album; check out the video below.

Official First Week Sales of Rick Ross's "Hood Billionaire" Album

Rick Ross's second album in 2014, "Hood Billionaire" has done a full week in stores, and it sold 70,000 copies. I predicted this album would sell about 80k first week, so this is around the quantity I knew the album would sell. Def Jam achieved what they planned to do. His last album, Mastermind which dropped 7 months ago sold 179,000 copies first week, and they thought, if they can use the buzz of Mastermind to release another album (which had left over songs from Mastermind, and a few new songs)), it would be a great investment.

People might look at the numbers as low, but this is a success for Ross and Def Jam. When you have rappers like T.I selling 80k first week off a heavily promoted album, and you have your artist selling just about that same numbers with a rushed album, then you are cool. How many rappers are moving this type of units on Def Jam right now, except from Jeezy and Kanye West?

First Week Sales Prediction of Rick Ross' "Hood Billionaire" Album

The year is not done, and Rick Ross is about to drop another album. His last album, Mastermind dropped in March, and sold 179,000 copies first week. Apart from the fact that this album is not as good as Mastermind (it is not bad either), it is dropping just 8 months after his last official release, so I don't think it would sell as high as his last album. I predict Hood Billionaire would sell between 80-110k copies first week. 

But the advantage of releasing this album for Ross is that it might help push the sales of Mastermind to Gold status. Hood Billionaire is officially dropping next week Monday, November 24. 

New Music: Moving Bass (Rick Ross feat. Jay Z)

Rick Ros just dropped this new one, Moving Bass, featuring Jay Z, which is one of the tracks off his soon to be released 7th album, Hood Billionaire. Nice track, with a cool beat. The funny thing however with this songs is that Jay just did the hook, he didn't drop a verse.
