Rick Ross is an indomitable presence in the music industry, but few people know his full story. Now, for the first time, Ross offers a vivid, dramatic and unexpectedly candid account of his early childhood, his tumultuous adolescence and his dramatic ascendancy in the world of hip-hop.
Born William Leonard Roberts II, Ross grew up “across the bridge,” in a Miami at odds with the glitzy beaches, nightclubs and yachts of South Beach. In the aftermath of the 1980 race riots and the Mariel boatlift, Ross came of age at the height of the city’s crack epidemic, when home invasions and execution-style killings were commonplace. Still, in the midst of the chaos and danger that surrounded him, Ross flourished, first as a standout high school football player and then as a dope boy in Carol City’s notorious Matchbox housing projects. All the while he honed his musical talent, overcoming setback after setback until a song called “Hustlin’” changed his life forever.
From the making of “Hustlin’” to his first major label deal with Def Jam, to the controversy surrounding his past as a correctional officer and the numerous health scares, arrests and feuds he had to transcend along the way, Hurricanes is a revealing portrait of one of the biggest stars in the rap game, and an intimate look at the birth of an artist.
Riveting I knew Rozay had a way with words, so I expected a good read, but the struggle before the come up was a real eye opener. This dude been grinding.Great read Wonderful read. Read them entire book in a couple of hours. Couldn’t put it down. The stories told are so real and puts everything into perspective.Rick Ross' HURRICANES reminds us that great things can emerge after life's storms Though Hip Hop is not something that I have followed a lot, I am always amazed by the stories that bring the music and the culture to life. That is what first got my attention about Rick Ross and his amazing rise to prominence in the industry and in life. When I heard about his book HURRICANES I knew it was something I had to read, to better understand the man and how he became who he is. I was not disappointed.We get the story of where he came from, who inspired and influenced him and of course the choices he made that led him down some profitable yet danger roads. We see the highs, the lows, the relationships and the struggles. But most important to me we see the resilience. Whether it is legal battles, health woes or relationships Rick Ross is not one to take anything without a fight. He is a fighter. And if nothing else I think that is what people will take away from the book."I don't fear death but I do fear unfinished business," he says in the book. That should be something all of us should keep in mind as we approach each day.HURRICANES reminds us that great things can emerge after life's storms. You have only to look at Rick Ross' journey and see that is true.
