Deeper than Rap is literally on the verge of release and Ross has been on a massive spree recruiting heavyweight artists left and right to grace his prolific album to date. On my On the Clock Report this past Monday, I reported that the Boss was recruiting Nas to fill the empty void on his most powerful Hip-Hop track Usual Suspects, it seems as though Ross isnt quite finished yet. On another track, this one geared towards his arch nemesis 50 Cent, the track entitled Valley of Death, Ross recently stated that he has recruited the talents of Lil Wayne again, this time to add fuel to the fire on that diss track.
It was reported earlier in the year that Lil Wayne has officially graced the sequel to Maybach Music alongside Kanye West and T-Pain. The original Maybach Music was made famous by Ross and Jay-Z exactly one year ago. For Ross, to ask Wayne for a second verse on a fuel-driven track wasnt that difficult since the both of them are friends sort of in the same boat.
Ross recently spoke to MTV News about his upcoming album Deeper than Rap and what he chose to incorporate into the album. These were his comments:
Me and Wayne, I got a lot of respect and a lot of love, not only for Lil Wayne, but for Cash Money Records. Those were some of the few dudes that embraced me outside of the music long before the fame and fortune. I always felt it was genuine. Birdman and Slim been coming to Miami for years now. We developed a relationship being in and out of the studios. Anytime I called Wayne for anything, whether it's an album cut or remix, he was just there for me.
Ross continues to add his definition behind the track he has intensively entitled Valley of Death.
Valley of Death, that concept was just, that's really what it is, every day I get up and live the life that I live. Do the things I do. Move how I move, walking in the valley of death, I feel my life is on the line every day. It's a 50/50 chance.
