Rick Ross Unveils 'Mastermind' Cover Art, Announces Jeezy Collab

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jan 24, 2014

Rap lord Rick Ross's upcoming Mastermind release has faced a few setbacks, but the Bawse is trying to drum up more hype for the upcoming LP by unveiling the cover artwork, as well as announcing that the set will feature a new collaboration between him and Jeezy.

A new trailer behind the album once again trots out the horns-blaring sample from Ross's previously teased "The Devil Is a Lie," but the teaser video also gives us an eyeful of the record sleeve. As you can see up above, it's a close-up of Rozay's beard- and sunglasses-sporting mug delivered in magenta-minded halftone.

The other news delivered via the trailer is that the album will come equipped with a new Jeezy-assisted song called "War Ready," apparently quashing a long-standing, well-documented beef between the two rappers. While the track has yet to be delivered, the teaser notes that it's "the single the streets have waited years for." This announcement is capped with a pic of the two about to sip from some pricey bottles of Avion and Luc Belaire Rare Rose.

Further tracklisting info has yet to arrive for Mastermind, but the set is expected to hit retailers March 4 via Maybach Music Group. Read an interview about the new album here.
