Career

Roberts spent 18 months between December 1995 and June 1997 working as a correctional officer. This information was kept secret when his career as a rapper got started.

Knowing that Rick Ross was a former correctional officer wouldn’t have been helpful for his reputation, given the stigma that hip hop has and the lyrics that are said.

Robert eventually disputed that he was in the images that were eventually made public in 2008. But more evidence came to light, and he had to admit that he had worked in prisons in the past.

He initially signed with Suave House Records, the former record label for the rap group 8Ball & MJG, but later switched to Slip-n-Slide Records, a division of Def Jam since 2006.The year Ross’s first album, Port of Miami, was released.

Since then, Ross has created the Maybach Music Group and produced a number of albums. Since 2009, the Maybach Music Group has been the label for all of his studio albums.
