Rick Ross signed with Epic Records, the label announced today (January 15). Rick Ross was previously signed to Def Jam and released his Black Market album with the label in December.
“Welcome @rickyrozay to the #EPIC family!” Epic Records says on Twitter under a picture of Rick Ross with CEO L.A. Reid and President Sylvia Rhone.
In September, Ross said on the social media platform that he was in talks with the label when he shared a photo of himself with L.A. Reid and Breyon Prescott, head of Urban A&R.
The Miami rapper’s Maybach Music Group is an imprint of Atlantic Records.
Puff Daddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment signed with Epic in October.
Epic Records is also home to Future, Travi$ Scott and Jidenna.

Salute. Boss moves
EPIC FAIL for sure!
The Fake ‘Rick Ross’ aka OFFICER RICKY’s ‘sales’ are in the TOILET!
Embarrassingly low, full of hot air & fraudulent stories over & over again about being a ‘drug bawse’
when WE ALL KNOW he was a C.O. workin’ for the Feds! GTFOH………….
He should have taken the opportunity to retire and shack up with that stripper. There is zero demand for his albums and when he tours half his income goes straight to security. He has other ventures but its over for him as a commercial rapper.
If you guys don’t like me being on here, fine, I’ll leave if 10 people hit the fire button on this particular comment, if I don’t see 10 then obviously more people enjoy me being here then those few that hate and I’ll stay
Listen bitch, we see your name and scroll away. No one gives a shit about anything you say you little pussy bitch. Peace fuck boi
Hahahahaha bum shine fat boy po hahaha career over def jam dropped ya album flop u talk the biggest shit in this game and you so phony took another man life story Ricky Ross and tried to be him and you such a fraud all made up raps. Please jump please do us all a favor ! #realtalk
And rest of his artists are they with him too or they staying behind?
rick ross is WACK. Period. End of story. It does not matter which label his fat, fraudulent ass is on.
The Hate is real
So many haters who would love to be in his position, just let him b if you don’t like him don’t need write gay comments! Read bout someone else you bunch of jokers.
Ross did 65k first week while they pulled his album for threatening Trump . And Def paid no promo money cause it was his last album . F.ck a Hater Boss up .
I didnt like him when he first came out. I figured he was another down south one-hit wonder type rapper. But, he proved me wrong. He might be the best lyricist on the planet right now. Them dudes from the 90’s and early 2000’s that wrote lyrics like him ain’t doin it no more. It’s Rozay. Renzel.
Your definitely high, Ross knows how to pick good beats I’ll give him that, but best lyricist lol nigga you need intervention
hope they ready for an epic fail. ross been losing steam for years now his own artists are selling double or triple what he does and they aint even goin gold
Truth Rick Ross bout to suck major cock. Get to sucking jabba jaws
Billy roberts the 2nd is a fraud hah.. Everyone knows this.. When one of your boyz chain gets snatched n your response is.. “Come see me, u know where im at”… Ur a fuckin bitch.. Its a toss up between ross n drake for best actor in hip hop.
Thanks for the support, glad you all appreciate my points of view and my sometimes social commentary, not one single person hit the fire button so I’m here to stay…let’s blog!!
Nobody actually cares enough to hit the button fuk boy u should just leave anyway

why is rozays belt undone in that picture? was he doing something naughty with those execs?
Dx should really make people open accounts to leave messages with real names would stop half these pussys talking shit lol. Some the shit comments are pathetic peeps really need get a life lol
What the fuck would real names and opening up an account do? people talk shit on all blogs baby girl, ain’t like you geeks hiding behind a computer gone do nothing, you can’t even afford to move out your moms basement
Don’t worry. It’s on the way.
Fat officer.
Ya empire is death lmao
Bawse got droppee from his record company due to bad sales
Lmao
All the f.aggot talk up on here is fuckin revolting
It only bothers those who truly resonate with it, and struggling within themselves to fight it
Def Jam dropped his ass since his new album went Plastic. Not EpicFAIL wants to go bankrupt with this nigga. LA Reid is the same mf that gave Shyne 2 million signing bonus when he got out of jail.
Shout out to rock ross for organizing the beating of Dj vlad, a major culture vulture who thrives off of controversy but when it comes his way he hides and sues. That’s why he got his ears stomped together lmaooooo…puss
Your gay father loves me
Rick ross doesn’t fight, he pays people to fight. He is a coward and a bad role model for urban black youth. They want to be just like what he portrays but never actually had to live.
I’m not too good with the business side of music. Can someone explain how imprints work when an artist signs with another label? Like, what happens to MMG? Does the imprint go wherever the artist goes?
Krakk a.. Dx staff writes a story on black artist . Then post racist hate through fake accounts on black artist. RACIST JOURNALISM .
Wow thats fucked up lol Atlantic, def jam now epic why Reid why r you sick is yr brain fucked up you might as well sign jarule, vanilla ice stitches to your label officer Ricky Ross #don’t the Gds still wanna blast his fake I’m not even a gangster and I wouldn’t sign him .fuck it #ggggggggg unit!real gangsters
he got dropped for flopping lol
I am a weak minded filthy mind and mouth closet bitch i use hiphopdx as a platform to address my homosexuallity because in real life i am afraid to i was born a coward ai troll people because i am truly beneath them my gay cries for help always go unheard so this is me lashing out at intelligent people who only come here to discuss and debate hip hop peacefully i am saddened that my own life has no merit and i have so little self worth but i cant help it i only wish someone could help
You were on a roll and doing fine sweet pants, until you said lashing out at intelligent people who only come here to debate hip hop peacefully, 85% of the comments on here are ignorant, immature, lacking truth, substance and simply don’t make sense, the fact that you responded tells me that your a in the closet homosexual that’s up early and upset cause you didn’t have any luck getting someone to fuck you last night, don’t hate me cause I’m beautiful bitch!
Still a angry closet bitch ctfu nobody likes u gay troll lmao
When you gone let me flop and drop down on you sugar pants? bks finest as in the burger king whopper, I see the subliminal big daddy you must be packing!
Gay ass troll
Your gay too, you so fit the profile, and why it got to be called trolling and not flirting, courting, or simply me persuing you…clearly I see the tendacies
Smh@da gay shit
Just a bit of advice, put a dick in your mouth and then shake yo head sweet pants, it’ll make much more sense
Wow, never thought Ross would be this succesful. Why are all these phony rappers with major label deals ?????
And, why are there people supporting these wack rappers???? Why isn’t a guy like torae or skyzoo with a major label deal ???
Ross signing to Epic is proof positive that LA Reid should have hung it up years ago. Now Ross is gonna be in the back burner while LA focuses his attention on Megan Traighnor and Fifth Harmony, his real moneymakers.
10 years ago in March or April 2006 when I first had the displeasure of hearing the averageness of “Everyday I’m Hustlin'” I never dreamed that there would be a whole generation of mindless idiots who would consider this professional actor a legend of hip hop. Like, go listen to Hieroglyphics or Atmosphere you damn robot.
Hierroglyphics or atmosphere? why cause thats real hip hop you fucking idiot. Agreed this generation is fucked and has no idea what hip hop is but real hip hop is Elzhi, biggie, brother ali, wu tang, nas, royce da 59, joe budden crooked I, etc. You sir no nothing about hip hop if you think that shit is real. You are probably a stoner who ate one too many doritio’s
Well I’m out and you boys won’t hear from me again
Undercover FED ! Doesn’t have no Rapping skills sounds like he’s talking over beats.
