The Next Strong Team Up: Maybach Music

In the Hip-Hop culture, when having a strong career as an artist; it’s important to have a strong team. When building a career as an artist and trying to build an empire, it’s important to have a firm-supporting cast. When we look back and think about legendary greats that changed the music industry, by expanding their names from a brand to a company, it’s amazing. When we think of people like Master P, we think of No Limit Record; Baby (Birdman), we think of Cash Money Records; Jay-Z, we think of Roc-A-Fella Records. The list just goes on.

One artist in our modern day generation who’s building an amazing team is no other than the Biggest Boss himself, Rick Ross. Ross, who is one of the biggest bosses in the game, is living up to his name now by building an empire with his very own label Maybach Music Group (MMG). Rick Ross who is also known as Rozay worked very hard this summer collecting and gathering some of the most talented unsigned artists to be part of his very own empire.

Maybach Music is featuring some extremely talented acts like Wale, Meek Mill and Pill.  Wale, is a native of Washington D.C. He released his first album Attention Deficit in 2009, under Interscope Records, which sold 130,000 copies.  Meek Mill is a street gritty, aggressive, smooth, swagged out street rapper, who is from North Philadelphia but was born in South Philly. Pill is a GA native, who has a very street and aggressive sound.  In 2010, XXL Magazine featured him as part of their Freshmen Top 10 line-Up. The three (Wale, Meek Mill and Pill) were also were featured on an album compilation under Maybach Music entitled, Self-Made Vol. 1.  Self-Made Vol. 1 was released in the summer of May 2011. It sold 109, 000 copies in the U.S.

Rick Ross worked very hard in in expanding his Maybach Music movement label; especially, after receiving a distribution deal from Warner Bros. Records. The MMG family is still hard at work. Wale is working on his second album Ambition, which set to be released under Maybach Music, and he recently released his mix tape The Eleven 1 Eleven Theory. Meek Mill has one of the biggest records in the country with his single from the Self-Made compilation album entitled, “I’m a Boss”. Pill has been hustling hard with a street hard single entitled “Pacman” featuring Rick Ross, he has also released a mix tape entitled The Diagnosed.
