One of the most anticipated tracks off of Rick Ross’ upcoming album God Forgives, I Don’t, “3 Kings,”
featuring Jay-Z and Dr. Dre, hit the internet yesterday. In a recent interview with Power 98.3’s Bootleg Kev, Rawse addressed having such high-profiled collaborators on his album.
“I just collaborated with people I was a huge fan of such as Dr. Dre for the first time,” explained Ross. “And Dr. Dre and Jay-Z on the same record by the name of ‘3 Kings.’ Just witnessing that being in the studio with both of them dudes, man, it was a hell of an experience.”
Even Ross himself was surprised by the collaboration. “It was just something I could never really see happening,” admitted the Maybach Music Group head honcho. “On a personal level, that was big for me. Of course the record I did by the name of ’16’ featuring Andre [3000]. It’s a classic.”
Ross elaborated on the track with 3 Stacks. “Basically, when you get some music that you really love, or a track that you really love, sometimes sixteen bars is not enough to express yourself. So we just went to that next level. And I think for people to hear Andre do what he did…I’ma let y’all count how many bars he did. …He pulled out the guitar and banjo on this one.”
