Iconic rapper, entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author Rick Ross takes readers on the road trip of a lifetime in this indispensable guide to creativity, reinvention and greatness
It's been nearly twenty years since Rick Ross broke out with his 2005 debut single "Hustlin'." Since then, he's cemented his legacy in hip-hop and found success in dozens of endeavors beyond music. But as Ross approaches 50, he finds himself in unfamiliar territory: a mid-life crisis. His first creative rut.
The Renaissance of a Boss tells the story of how Rick Ross rediscovered his spark, taking readers on an unforgettable journey that includes:
- Ross' failed attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and the unexpected lessons he learned;
- an open road adventure, from Graceland to Santa Fe, where Ross seeks answers to life's biggest questions;
- an inside look into Ross' celebrity collaborations with Dr. Dre, Bruno Mars, and Bill Murray and more;
- behind-the-scenes stories of how his biggest hits came to be;
- a shrooms-induced hallucination that you'll have to read to believe;
In the same open spirit as his New York Times bestsellers Hurricanes and The Perfect Day to Boss Up, The Renaissance of a Boss gives readers a blueprint for success from one of the most prolific minds in music.
The epic journey takes Ross to Elvis Presley's Graceland estate in Memphis, Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo and ultimately a Native American sweat lodge ceremony in Santa Fe. Along the way, Ross reflects on his creative process, the artists who have inspired him, and shares his own rituals and habits that made him into one of the most prolific minds in music today.
