Rick Ross Shares New Album Details via Chris Rock and DJ Khaled

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Feb 15, 2017

Rick Ross recently told us that he'll "shock the streets and the world" upon the arrival of his new album Rather You Than Me. Now, the Teflon Don has revealed when exactly that will happen with the help of a few friends.

In a short video posted to DJ Khaled's Instagram, Chris Rock announces that Rather You Than Me will arrive on March 17. The album will be Ross's first for Epic Records.

As previously reported, Ross recently told Exclaim! that Rather You Than Me is the most complete musical representation of both himself and his experiences he has created yet.

"To me, the phrase 'Rather You Than Me' speaks to a n***a's natural instinct to survive," Ross explains. "What also makes [the title] and the album genius is that there's a beautiful side to this as well, for instance, 'I would rather you than me enjoy this fine glass of Belaire.' There's so many different ways to say it that can make this unique, but the title is speaking to the survivalists; the ones that refuse to lose."
