Last night, Rick Ross shared a collaboration with MMG’s Stalley, “Everything A Dope Boy Ever Wanted.”
The song is produced by Beat Billionaire, the in-house MMG producer responsible for Rozay hits like “John Doe” and “Yella Diamonds.” He flips an old-school soul sample over unobtrusive percussion—the result is cozy and weightless, like expensive silk you can barely feel yourself wearing.
Ross rarely wavers from his diamond-studded depiction of hedonistic boss life, and this is no exception. He proclaims himself a “Forbes cash king” and describes jaunts around the country “rolling blunts with the latest playmates of the month” at his “cribs in Atlanta and out in Vegas too.” In Rozay’s world, everything is plural.
Stalley’s verse is a lively slice of self-promo, heralding the release of his upcoming debut album Ohio as a king-making moment. His empire? The Midwest: “This the crown in Ohio, I sit on that throne/Welcome back Lebron, but Stalley been home.”
He also represents for upcoming releases from his label-mates Wale and the incarcerated Meek Mill: “It’s double M to the grave, free Meek Milly/Dreams Worth More Than Money, The Album Bout Nothin/This our year, tell ‘em stop frontin.”
Ross in Florida, Meek Mill in Pennsylvania, and now Stalley in Ohio: all important battleground states. Is MMG fielding a presidential candidate in 2016? We sure hope so.
Ohio drops on October 27th, and Rick Ross will release Hood Billionaire later this fall.
