Rick Ross releases 12th album “Set in Stone”

American rapper Rick Ross has issued his twelfth studio album, titled “Set in Stone” (German‑language coverage refers to it as “In Stein gemeißelt”). In promoting the record Ross calls himself the “Miami Martin Scorsese,” extending the larger‑than‑life mafioso persona he has cultivated over a 20‑year career that began after work as a corrections officer and later led to fast‑food and real‑estate ventures.

The album continues Ross’s signature opulent, vacation‑rap style with high‑budget production and lyrics boasting wealth and luxury, but reviewers note the overall sound is uneven and that Ross still struggles to craft a cohesive full‑length record despite moments of inspiration in tracks such as “Santorini Greece” and “Triple Beam Dreams.”
