Rick Ross’ Unique Journey: From Rapper to Farmer, Raising Cows and Attached to Horses
Rick Ross and Meek Mill’s latest album, “Too Good to Be True,” aptly captures the essence of Ross’ current outlook on life. At 47 years old, the famous rapper, also known as the greatest mogul, not only maintains his long-standing musical dominance with this collaborative project but also finds solace in moments of clarity, calm, and rest.
On his 235-acre estate in Fayetteville, Georgia, affectionately known as “the promised land,” Ross engages in a variety of activities, from caring for animals to adventuring, such as felling trees and caring for bison. He considers these experiences as valuable lessons, which connect him to nature and inspire him to consider himself a farmer.
Ross encourages others to adopt a similar lifestyle, advocating moments of relaxation away from the constant hustle and bustle. For him, it’s about putting his phone aside, feeding his cows carrots, chatting with his horses, and enjoying hours of fishing – a refreshing escape from the studio and hectic work life.
Life on the estate offered a “different vibe” for Ross, where he expressed his cowboy side and recharged his creative batteries for his musical endeavors. In addition to caring for animals, his recent hobby is exploring sailing, an activity he calls “the salty life.” Ross finds joy in being on the water, testing different types of boats, and enjoying the diverse experiences each vessel offers.
As Ross seeks the quiet of his farm and the open waters, his new album, “Too Good to Be True,” continues to make waves in the music industry. A collaboration with longtime collaborator Meek Mill, the album features a harmonious blend that Ross describes as “both put together and balanced.”
With verses from Future, French Montana, and Shaquille O’Neal for a remix of “SHAQ & KOBE”, the album marks a pivotal moment in hip-hop.
According to Ross, the title speaks for itself, summarizing the magic and authenticity created by the collaboration. “Too Good To Be True” reflects the harmonious union between Ricky Rozzay and Meek Mill, bringing catchy, hard-hitting music to the streets.
Ross’ dual goals—finding serenity in his field and creating musical magic—highlight the multifaceted nature of his life and underscore his lasting influence in the world of hip-hop.
