Rick Ross’ debut single, Hustlin’ was the single that launched a multi-million dollar bidding war between the hip hop industry’s three most prominent record labels. Packed with references to drug lords and kingpins, it sounds and feels like a piece of crime fiction.
Hustlin’ was the first single from Ross’ debut album ‘Port of Miami’ and skyrocketed him to fame, cementing itself in the Billboard Hot 100, a pretty impressive feat for an as-yet-unknown artist. While it didn’t achieve as great a commercial success as some of his latter music, it is certainly his most potent and culturally relevant, which makes it deserving of the top spot in this list.
Ross has experienced several hits after Hustlin took over hip hop space, he released several other hit songs such as B.M.F, Maybach Music 2″, Aston Martin Music, Tears of Joy, I’m Not A Star, Santorini Greece and others.
The discography of Rick Ross, an American rapper, consists of ten studio albums, one compilation album, 144 singles (including 100 as a featured artist), one soundtrack, and 40 music videos.
