Rick Ross Drops Two New God Forgives Songs

It remains to be seen if there's truth to DJ Khaled and Drake's declaration that Rick Ross's upcoming album, God Forgives, I Don't, is a classic-in-the-making.

And while fans will have to wait until the December 13 release date to make that determination, on Tuesday night, they got a head-start after the Bawse dropped two promising singles. Rozay gave fans just a taste of his fifth solo LP last night when he visited New York radio disc jockey Funkmaster Flex and premiered "I Love My Bitches" and the Nicki Minaj-assisted "You the Boss" on Hot 97.

"I wanted to most definitely go to another level and make sure my sound continued to evolve and take people somewhere different," Ross told Flex. "I wanted to collaborate with Nicki in another way, her breaking down and just letting us hear her beautiful voice."

The syrupy slow "You the Boss" has a 1980s soul vibe. Ross starts the record off with one of his patented grunts and then whispers sweet nothing's before telling the object of his affection, "I deserve you!"

Nicki's complementary hook channels a loyal lover who will do anything for her "boss" Ricky Ross. It's a more romantic tone for the Maybach Music CEO, who has grown into an unlikely sex symbol, and "You the Boss," with its promises of lavish shopping sprees and companionship, may only raise his stock.

The Just Blaze-produced "I Love My Bitches," while also aimed at women, is dramatically different. Over a sped-up soul sample, the Teflon Don is far less gentlemanly as he laments, "Awww, man, I love my bitches." Lyrically, Ross aims the record at the streets, mixing more tales of lavish sprees with stories of selling bricks of cocaine. With little to no regard for continuity, he goes back and forth in his verses, seducing women and talking to his boys about daily dealings in the same breath.

It's clear on "My Bitches" that Ross feels like he's on top of the world as he spits lines like, "Living life to the fullest, what's the emphasis/ Making love to Mary J's 'Reminisce.' "

Interestingly enough, Mary J. Blige also appears on God Forgives, I Don't. While Rozay isn't sure that the song will be a single just yet, he holds it in high regard. "That's the Queen. I can just tell you about the experience," he told of working with MJB. "We made some magic."

"Me making my album is just a real tedious process that I go through," Rozay added. "The response from the people that I did play a few records for, the feedback is incredible."
