“Sight seeing.. We might be in.. The Codra port or that new white BM..”

With the first Florida Verzuz battle getting closer by the hour, we at CitrusRap would like to revive of the hits that helped bring one of Florida’s most prominent and long lasting artist to his throne.

Back in 2008, before the Wing Stop, Checker’s & Rally’s franchises. Before the mogul fueds. Ultimately, before MMG, Rick Ross was still a prominent Florida figure, being that he was signed to Slip-N-Slide Records and Def Jam, after doing a stint on Suave House Records.

After the critically acclaimed success of his debut album, Port Of Miami, accompanied with his debut single, “Hustlin”, selling over a million records. Trilla was Rick Ross’ first real taste test in major notoriety, proving that the sophomore slump doesn’t exist to the greats. Reminiscent of Mahomes shrugging off the Madden curse and winning MVP. The album went on to be an instant hit. Selling nearly 200,000 copies in it’s first week and debuting at number one on Billboard 200. Kicking off a major streak of hits, selling over a combined 3 million units and signing multiple multi-million dollar ventures. Rozay aka Renzel, is the true definition of a BOSS.

With the direction of Gil Green, Rick Ross showed a luxurious version of Miami with “Here I Am”. A gold, summer smash record and Florida classic, featuring Avery Storm and Nelly. Distributing only quality work ever since, it is all that we expect from the legend. Excellence is his reputation. So continue to cherish these new singles from the boss, before his Verzuz battle against 2 Chainz. Live tonight via Verzuz TV!

YEAR: 2011

PRODUCER: Noah “40” Shebib
ALBUM FEATURED ON: We The Best Forever | Purchase via iTunes
LATEST ALBUM: I Changed A Lot | Purchase via iTunes

This we celebrate the Florida Sultan, DJ Khaled, once again. This go around we revive the 2011 hit record that brought Khaled and Rick Ross‘  their first Grammy nod and truly solidified Khaled as the rap game’s premiere orchestrater, “I’m On One”. Also featuring the front runners, Drake and Lil Wayne, who were unsurprisingly still on a long stretch of chart domination during that time.  As usual, the We The Best head-honcho called upon Gil Green to provide the lavish visuals for this star studded event of a track, which premiered during the 2011 BET Awards. “I’m On One” was an immediate radio, club and overall smash record. Going on to sell over 1.8 million copies and gaining platinum certification and peaking to #10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 charts. Billboard also ranked it at #17 on their list of 20 Best Songs of 2011. This single could clearly be the reason behind his follow up album, Suffering From Success, because after this he could literally do no wrong on the charts and on airwaves. So today we just want to show our thanks and gratitude for DJ Khaled and the hits like this that he brought to the world.

DIRECTOR: Ryan Snyder
PRODUCER: Dougie & DJ Sam Sneak
UPCOMING ALBUM: Port of Miami 2: Born to Kill | Release To Be Announced

The Global Boss and Florida Ambassador, Rick Ross drops off the official video for what’s sure to be on of our latest of classic state wide anthems. Rozay stands tall next to two of Florida’s leading definers when it comes to our homeland, T-Pain and Kodak Black for the Dougie & DJ Sam Sneak produced “Florida Boy”. The debut single for his 10th forthcoming album and one of his most highly anticipated projects, Port of Miami 2: Born to Kill.  Holding the magnitude of a classic We The Best video, this video has as many cultured cameos as the show Entourage. We’re talking Uncle Luke, DJ Khaled, Chad Johnson, Ball Greezy, Ice Billion Berg, Baby Soulja, LunchMoney Lewis and SO MANY more. This Ryan Snyder directed moment embodies the REAL Florida. From the Chevy donks, wicks and gold teeth, to the ATV and dirt bike lifestyle. From the projects buildings to the little league football games, that get packed out as if they were the Miami Dolphins on a Sunday. Rick Ross reminds the world of not only his greatness as a musician and mogul. Cut to the nice profile shots of his Checkers and Rallies franchise. But he gives the outsiders a defining look at the place that raised him and so many other legends and legends to be.
