Rick Ross Announces "Mastermind Tour"

Rick Ross has announced the eight-city “Mastermind Tour.” The trek, which is named after the Miami, Florida rapper’s forthcoming album, is slated to launch November 12 at the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, Michigan and is scheduled to conclude November 23 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida. The full tour itinerary is below. Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday (September 20).

Rick Ross is scheduled to be backed by the 1500 Or Nothin’ band on the “Mastermind Tour.” Rick Ross performed with the five-piece band at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, California last month. 1500 Or Nothin’ has also performed with Snoop Dogg, Lupe Fiasco, T.I., The Game and Faith Evans.

“It’s never been done like this,” Ross says in a press release. “We’ll be performing everything from ‘Tears of Joy’ to ‘Aston Martin Music,’ all with a live band. It’s time to remind everyone what Maybach Music is all about.”

Rick Ross’ new single, “No Games,” features Future and is scheduled to impact at radio and be available on iTunes October 1, as per Island Def Jam, which releases Rick Ross’ material. Produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, the track is the first song released from Mastermind.
