Rapper Rick Ross recently came into Stadium Red and completed his new single “I Love My Bitches,” which will be included on his upcoming album, God Forgives, I Don’t. “I wanted to go to another level, and make sure my sound continues to evolve,” Ross told Flex, which is a departure from the bass-heavy street anthems he’s been known for since last year’s Teflon Don. The track is another song worked on by various members of our team. Produced by Just Blaze, mixed by Andrew Wright and mastered by Ricardo Gutierrez makes this another record that showcases the talent up here at Stadium Red.

This single premiered on HOT 97 in NYC on October 4th by legendary Funkmaster Flex. In the song Ross proclaims his love for women and shout outs to LeBron James and Dwayne Wade as well as his Bentley which is apparently named Barbara Streisand.
