J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League talks Rick Ross' "God Forgives, I Don't"

When he first arrived in the game, Rick Ross declared he was the boss. While his music was popular, in the South, many argued Ross was not even the biggest figure in Miami. Trick Daddy still held the title, but not for much longer. Rick Ross established his position in the game with 2008's Trilla.

In 2009, Rick Ross made a gutsy move when he dissed 50 Cent, the bully of the hip hop game. 50 Cent was primarily known, in the beef arena, for ending Ja Rule's career. When 50 Cent began dissing Ja Rule, he was the biggest rapper in the game. Rick Ross still went at 50 Cent and ended up winning the beef.

Two years later, Rick Ross is now seen as the boss of the rap game, getting just as much radio play as Lil Wayne. Last year, Ross had a number of hits. His most-known was "B.M.F.," last summer, which sparked a beef with Young Jeezy. The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, who produced his Drake-assisted crossover hit, "Aston Martin Music," are producing for this album.

The duo discussed Rick Ross' God Forgives, I Don't album, saying many feel as if Rick Ross has already reached his peak. For those who think they have figured out Rick Ross' overall sound and style, the production duo said Rick Ross is just getting started. After this, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League says artists in the game will be chasing them for the new Rick Ross sound.

When people discuss the revival of West Coast hip hop, they usually end up mentioning Jay Rock. The rapper rose to national fame over a year ago. Legendary West Coast rapper, Ice Cube, decided to name his album I Am the West. The title of the album caused Jay Rock to speak out.

Jay Rock stayed in the news for most of 2010 just because he had something to say about Ice Cube. But, with the feud in the past, the focus is back on his debut album. The Strange Music rapper is determined to bring the West back with his album, Follow me Home.

The album will feature a collaboration with Rick Ross, a major boost for a newcomer. Produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, "Finest Hour" will likely be a single off the upcoming album. Jay Rock said he recorded his part of the record in Atlanta and ran into Rick Ross and Birdman in Miami. During their encounter, he asked Rick Ross to be on the record and he agreed.

While Dr. Dre does not provide any production for the album, he has been working with Jay Rock on the album. Jay Rock credits Dr. Dre for his guidance while he has worked on this album. The Watts rapper revealed he mixed his album in Dr. Dre's studio. Dr. Dre mixed most of the songs on the album, including his first single, "All My Life." It has been big, to Jay Rock, to have him working so closely on his debut album, which will feature appearances from Will.i.am, Lil Wayne, and Chris Brown.

Jay Rock's Follow Me Home is being prepared for a July 26 release date.
