Rick Ross Drops 4 New Tracks Ahead of 'Black Dollar'; "Powder & Money" Video [WATCH]

Rick Ross has declared this week #RozayWeek, and he's definitely been supplying more new music than any other rapper, or anyone at all for that matter. The MMG boss released a new track, "Foreclosures," on Monday (August 31) and announced that his next project, Black Dollar, would arrive on Thursday (September 3). It's now Wednesday, and since dropping "Foreclosures," he's given fans three more tracks and one video off of Black Dollar. On Tuesday, he dropped "Money Dance," featuring The-Dream, and today, Ross dropped "Turn Ya Back," with Gucci Mane, Meek Mill and Whole Slab, as well as the solo effort "Money and Powder," which was released with an accompanying video.

It was assumed that Black Dollar would be an album, but now Ross has put up a Black Dollar countdown on the mixtape-hosting site DatPiff. However it ends up being classified, it will be available for free download. Here's the video to the project's latest track, "Money and Power."

Black Dollar will be available for download tomorrow, September 3.

"Turn Ya Back" features an incarcerated (but highly prolific) Gucci Mane, MMG upstart Whole Slab and Meek Mill, who gives out his first feature since coming out of the Drake beef in rough shape. Here, he comes with the same hunger that brought Dreams Worth More Than Money to the top of the charts -- before his ill-advised "Twitter fingers."

"Money Dance" is an slow jam featuring The-Dream, who adds some emotion to a love song founded on pure opulence. The R&B star came back into the rap world recently with an extended feature on 2 Chainz' "Goat."

On "Foreclosures," which bears a classic Ross feel thanks to the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League production, Ross addresses the Meek Mill/Drake beef for the first time since Drake's victory has become widely acknowledged. It seems he, too, is willing to admit that his MMG underling didn't come out on top:

"And I never took an 'L' back when Meek fell / Just drove the numbers all the way back up at retail"

Going off the first four singles, Black Dollar has Ross rapping more reflectively and using more vivid storytelling rather than in-your-face showboating. The production seems slower and more sample-heavy than most of what's been getting airplay recently, and overall, it sounds like the mood will be a contrast of pain and luxury. There's no word if the previously released Lex Luger-produced "Dog Food," the heaviest cut of the bunch, will also make it on to the album.
