For more than two decades, Rick Ross has built one of hip-hop's most recognizable brands, turning his larger-than-life persona into a career that extends far beyond music. Set In Stone, his twelfth studio album, arrives as both a celebration of that legacy and a reminder that Ross remains one of rap's most commanding voices. 

The album rollout began with "Minks In Miami," a luxurious collaboration featuring French Montana and Max B that quickly landed in the Top 10 at radio. It offers exactly the kind of lavish production, confident swagger, and aspirational storytelling fans have come to expect from Ross, while another preview track, "Mahogany Caskets," reunited him with fellow Southern rap heavyweight T.I. Together, the songs suggest Set In Stone stays true to the cinematic sound that has defined his catalog rather than attempting a dramatic stylistic shift.

The timing couldn't be more fitting. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Port of Miami, the debut album that introduced the world to Ross' unmistakable baritone voice and kingpin charisma. To commemorate the milestone, he embarked on a 17-city orchestra tour, performing his biggest hits alongside the Renaissance Orchestra and the Sainted Trap Choir. The unique presentation gives familiar songs a sweeping new dimension while highlighting just how well they've stood the test of time.

Ross is also expanding his legacy beyond music. Alongside the new album, he has released his third book, Renaissance Of A Boss, offering more insight into the entrepreneurial mindset that has helped him build successful ventures in music, real estate, spirits, and hospitality. That business acumen has become as much a part of his identity as the music itself.

Twenty years after Port of Miami established him as one of hip-hop's defining personalities, Set In Stone finds Rick Ross doing what he does best: delivering larger-than-life records with the confidence and conviction of an artist who has earned his place in rap history.
