While 2008 will see the follow-up to
Rick Ross’ gold-selling debut, it will also see the rapper foray
into film.
On March 25, Ross will release
a DVD, M.I.Yayo, based on street life in Miami. The documentary
counts down 10 of the city’s most infamous drug lords and details
their involvement in Miami’s drug world through news footage and interviews
with families and associates of the accused, along with the accused
themselves.
“When I was touring in Europe
with “Port of Miami,” the media question of the day was, ‘What
is the ‘other side of the bridge?’” Ross remembers. “People
all over the world want to know about this side of Miami, I give it
to them in M.I.Yayo.” He goes on to say, “It is incredibly
shocking, and many think Miami is South Beach, that’s it. The world
wants to know the real deal and this is it with M.I.Yayo.“
Ross’ sophomore album,
Trilla, is slated to hit stores March 11, two weeks before the documentary.
