Hip-Hop heavyweight, cultural icon, and business mogul Rick Ross makes his long-awaited return with the release of “For The Money” — a sleek, high-powered new single produced by the incomparable Pharrell. Dropping today, June 27, the single arrives alongside a stunning, globe-trotting music video filmed in the heart of Paris and directed by acclaimed visionary Benny Boom.
“For The Money” marks the first single from Ross’ forthcoming, currently untitled studio album
and signals a new era of sonic luxury, lyrical precision, and cinematic storytelling. This will be
the first solo album for Rick Ross in partnership between MMG and Gamma Media, under the
direction of Breyon Prescott. This lead single is anchored by Pharrell’s futuristic, minimalist
production — a hypnotic blend of percussion and polished synths — the track finds Ross in rare
form: reflective yet ruthless, aspirational yet grounded, as he raps about wealth, legacy, and the
mindset it takes to rise above.
“This record represents elevation — not just in sound, but in mindset,” says Rick Ross. “Me and
Pharrell created something timeless. And shooting the video in Paris with Benny Boom brought
that vision to life, shutting down the biggest bridge in Paris to film this. It’s bigger than music —
It’s a lifestyle.”
The official video, set in the gilded streets and grand architecture of Paris, captures Ross at the
intersection of high fashion, power, and purpose. With opulent cityscapes as Ross is whisked
around Paris in the back of a Maybach, the visuals match the track’s ambitious tone and global
energy.
This release comes during a landmark moment in Ross’s storied career. Earlier this month, he
was honored in his hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, with a street naming ceremony declaring Rick Ross Way — a full-circle moment that recognized his roots and cultural impact. In addition to the local honor, Ross was awarded a Congressional Proclamation from Congresswoman Nikema Williams (D-GA), and separate resolutions from Georgia State Representative Debra Bazemore and Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington, Jr., all acknowledging his extraordinary contributions to music, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy.
Looking ahead, Ross is also preparing to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Port of Miami, in 2026. Released in 2006, the platinum-certified project introduced the world to his unmistakable voice, cinematic storytelling, and boss-level charisma — laying the foundation for a legacy that has since spanned over a decade of cultural influence. “For The Money” is available on all major streaming platforms today, Friday, June 27, coinciding with the official music video premiering worldwide.
